Social Media and Screen Time for youth.

Social Media and Screen time a growing challenge.

Teens spend a lot of time in front of screens. But too much media use can interfere with getting enough exercise, doing homework, being with friends, and spending time with family. It also can contribute to obesity, attention and learning problems, and sleep problems.
