A study finds girls are affected by social media earlier than boys.

  The mental health of girls begins to suffer from the use of social networks at 11-13 years old, and boys - at 14-15. Teenagers at vulnerable ages feel less satisfied with their lives after a year of regular scrolling.

At the same time, growing dissatisfaction with life provokes teenagers to use social networks even more.

The difference in the vulnerable age of boys and girls is explained by the peculiarities of growing up and puberty.

Psychologists believe that parents and teachers should explain to teenagers in advance the potential risks of using social networks: the impact of negative content, a drop in self-esteem, the emergence of addiction.
