@fc35ccfd: That's a relevant and important topic to explore. Research suggests that social media use can have both positive and negative effects on mental health in adolescents and young adults. On the positive side, social media can provide opportunities for social connection, support, and self-expression. However, excessive use, cyberbullying, social comparison, and unrealistic portrayals of others' lives can contribute to negative mental health outcomes.

Some potential areas to consider in your research could be the relationship between social media use and self-esteem, body image, loneliness, anxiety, and depression. It might also be helpful to explore the role of specific platforms, such as Instagram or Snapchat, as they can have different impacts on mental health.

Additionally, there are numerous studies and resources available on this topic. I can help you find specific studies or articles if you'd like. Let me know if there's anything specific you're looking for!
