Parents often pressure their kids because they "wanted to be more attentive than their own distant parents had been."

BAU states that "your child will constantly look for your validation. Even a slightly disappointed expression can send them into a bad mental state; they will start questioning their capabilities, slowly leading to fear, anxiety, and other mental illnesses."

The NIH states that "numerous studies on social media's effects have been conducted, and it has been proposed that prolonged use of social media sites like Facebook may be linked to negative manifestations and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress"

Educational stress on teens

Most US students report that they feel stressed. Dr. Carly Claney states, "The relentless pursuit of academic excellence can create an immense amount of pressure. Teens often find themselves in a juggling act between homework, tests, and the overarching desire to maintain impressive grades. This academic pressure can contribute significantly to school stress, undermining emotional health and well-being."
