Subject: Alarming Rise of Social Media Addiction in Youths: A threat to our country’s future

Sir/Ma’am

Social media, once hailed as a revolutionary tool for connectivity, has become a breeding ground for addiction among youths. The constant need for validation, likes, and shares has led to a decline in mental health, social skills, and productivity.

Studies reveal that excessive social media use is linked to:

• Increased stress and anxiety
• Decreased attention span and memory
• Reduced face-to-face communication skills
• Unrealistic expectations and low self-esteem

I urge parents, educators, and policymakers to:

• Implement digital literacy programs
• Encourage responsible social media use
• Provide alternative activities for youths
• Monitor and limit screen time

We must act now to save our youths from the clutches of social media addiction and ensure a healthier, happier future.

Yours sincerely,

ABC
