panel discussion
The panel will explore the role of social media in promoting mental well-being and the responsibilities platforms have in safeguarding youth from harmful content. Discussions will focus on how schools, parents, and platforms can collaborate to prevent online harassment, the importance of digital literacy in navigating misinformation, and strategies for reducing technology dependency. The conversation will also address the impact of social media on youth mental health, including issues like FOMO, digital anxiety, and the pressure to curate a perfect online identity. Emerging technologies like VR and AR will be examined for their potential effects on young users, with an emphasis on safety and healthy screen-time habits.
