One mental health consultant says that social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter really cause anxiety and stress in teenagers. Stefani Weiss is the health consultant, and she says that the number of followers a teenager has on networks such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter can cause them a great deal of anxiety, and make them feel they are lacking if they don’t have a certain number. Weiss also says that teenagers become anxious when they post something and can’t take it back, such as a negative comment, a question, or an inappropriate picture. Additionally, Wiess says teens worry about their parents finding out about what they are up to. Weiss says it’s very important that parents open up a line of communication between them and their teen so they may help ease anxieties and keep their child safe online. (Fox News)
