The problematic relationship between young people and social media

New research from mental health provider Headspace shows young Australians who have what they call a problematic relationship to social media are struggling to disconnect due to a fear of missing out, or FOMO. The organisation's National Youth Mental Health Survey finds that one in three young people have a problematic relationship to social media while 51 per cent of respondents wanted to log off more often but felt pressured to keep up with online trends, news and politics.
