PRIVACY 
Most of the teenagers are not aware of the website policies when setting their profiles and they may not be even aware of disclosing the information to third parties like the advertisers. Most teenagers like to post their information publicly which will affect them when the hackers or people with cruel intensions may use their information for wrong purposes.
CYBERBULLYING 
Cyberbullying is one of the bad aspects of social media usage, It can make a person mentally unstable. People or teenagers who post their information online which is leaked to the public could lead to cyberbullying. The bully can use this information for wrong purposes hence he/she starts blackmailing the user. This can lead to depression in the person who posted this information. At times due to overpressure and depression teenagers commit suicides.
PARENTS SUPERVISION 
Parents need to keep an eye on their child's behavior while using social media. They need to explain and educate them, how to use social media in a proper and mannered way. This will guide the child in the right path. Parents need to supervise their child's accounts and monitor them.
Parents should keep a lookout for the symptoms of virtual peer pressure like depression, loss of appetite, social withdrawal, rude behavior, etc. Various studies have indicated that kids with little or no supervision are more likely to get affected by peer pressure.
PEER PRESSURE (SOCIAL PRESSURE)
Students in schools and colleges face a lot of peer pressure from their partners to do this and that. As they don't want to be left out or avoided they start listening and following their peers. The person should know and understand how to fight it. Peer pressure might cause depression and anxiety. Hence, they should share their feelings with either their parents or true friends.

CONCLUSION
Using social media has its own advantages and disadvantages, We can make wonderful use out of social media but not distractions and false information. Make a better use out of it.
