VI. Read the passage and choose the best answer:

TEENAGERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media plays a significant role in the lives of many teenagers today. Most students
log on to platforms like Facebook or Instagram daily to connect with their friends and
share photos and videos. Using social media is user-friendly, and it allows teens to keep
in touch with old friends and meet new ones easily.

However, this convenience also comes with pressure. Teens often feel pressure from their
peers to upload perfect images or check their notifications constantly. Furthermore,
spending too much time browsing online can lead to a lack of concentration on
schoolwork, which, in turn, causes academic stress. Parents often express their
expectations that their children should limit screen time and focus on their studies.
Therefore, teens need to learn self-control and manage their online activities carefully to
maintain a healthy balance between school, social life, and digital usage.
