Social media are great tools for making new friends or connect with old ones, can bring people together that are interested in the same topic and allow reaching a wide audience in a matter of seconds. However, the nature of social media bring in a range of potential issues. Too much time spent on social media can lead to social anxiety, depression and exposure to content that is not appropriate for the age of the user. Another potential issue is about cyberbullying, a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means which has become increasingly common, especially among teenagers, as the digital sphere has expanded.
