Social-technological environment during adolescence

The social-technological sphere has taken on unprecedented relevance in the lives of adolescents. Today, technology is not only a communication tool, but also a space where young people build their social identity. Understanding the impact of social media and technology on the lives of adolescents is crucial to guide them towards a healthy and safe use of these platforms. Parents should be aware of the risks, such as cyberbullying and exposure to inappropriate content, as well as the opportunities that technology offers for learning and socialization. Encouraging a balanced and conscious use of technology will help adolescents take advantage of its benefits while protecting themselves from its potential dangers. In addition, support in building interpersonal relationships outside the digital realm remains essential for healthy social development.
