Children have high levels of exposure to electronic media hence they have greater access and time to shape young people’s attitudes and actions than do parents or teachers, replacing them as educators, role models, and the primary sources of information about the world and how one behaves in it. Social scientists are just beginning to understand the interplay between social media use and individual mental health. Research has demonstrated both negative and positive effects of social media use on well being. This papers aims to review the effects of social media on the young mind and  emphasize the role of social media on the mental health and attitude.
