What other challenges to mental health do adolescents face today amidst the backdrop of social media and the information age?

Answer:

Many adolescents today face challenges to mental health due to social media and the information age. For example, social media can provide a place for peer-to-peer communication in which adolescents can share thoughts and feelings about personal relationships and health concerns, which can lead to cyber-bullying. Additionally, the increasing number of tools available for adolescents to use to communicate (texting, emails, Skype, and social media) can increase the risk for cyber-assault and stalking. Finally, electronic cigarettes, which allow users to inhale nicotine and other chemicals, can offer adolescents access to unhealthy, addictive chemicals.
