\"\"<\/p>\n

Adolescence is a stage marked by the construction and consolidation of one’s identity and personality.\u00a0During this period, the peer group and social relationships play a leading role.\u00a0Hence, the incursion and massive expansion of social networks is of great importance in the development of adolescents.<\/p>\n

Classical authors like Erikson have<\/a>\u00a0already postulated that, throughout adolescence, we need to develop certain qualities.\u00a0Among them, competition, fidelity, loyalty and the ability to love.<\/p>\n

To do so, you must learn your own and cultural tools.\u00a0Skills that allow establishing relationships with the environment in a period of important changes, decisions and risk taking.\u00a0Also taking into account a context of maximum demand, given the high expectations placed on them.<\/p>\n

“I’m fine”<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A failure to acquire these personal qualities leads to significant psycho-emotional problems in adulthood.\u00a0Situation in which self-criticism, indecision, insecurity, mistrust and relational anxiety predominate.<\/p>\n

This development of identity is not easy.\u00a0Sometimes we need to face significant personal difficulties in order to be successful at each stage.<\/p>\n

Social networks penalize the exposure of these difficulties.\u00a0They reward the demonstration of the kindest face in life.\u00a0Thus, the current adolescent builds his identity with an\u00a0absolute need to be accepted in them<\/a>\u00a0, with the consequent demand to show an idealized image of himself.<\/p>\n

This has had a negative impact on both the way you look and show yourself.\u00a0Problems related to impulse control, one’s own body image, or the management of complicated emotions, such as sadness or anger, have spread among adolescents.<\/p>\n

Family, education and networks on the Internet<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The role of the family<\/a>\u00a0is more important than ever in this process of social development.\u00a0However, on many occasions, it is the adolescent who must educate her in the use of social networks.\u00a0This is why the family is also not serving as a real trigger for the risks inherent in its use and abuse.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the role of the family in the adolescent’s life is in the process of being reconstituted.\u00a0This causes an increase in conflict in family relationships that it is necessary to learn to resolve in order to return to this protective function of the adolescent’s individual development.<\/p>\n

What role does friendship play?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In this context of development, friendship becomes an essential axis.\u00a0During adolescence, we learn to define our concept of friendship as the first affective relationship outside the family environment.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this link we learn to resolve conflicts constructively.\u00a0In fact, on many occasions, friends are the mirror where we look at the suitability of our actions and our way of being.<\/p>\n

As in any type of relationship, communication is key to making it work.<\/p>\n

It is easy to understand that live and virtual communication are different.\u00a0In this sense,\u00a0social networks have completely transformed the concept of friendship<\/a>\u00a0of our adolescents, seriously damaging their social and communication skills.<\/p>\n

The friendship building channels have changed.\u00a0Also the ability to genuinely show up in the relationship has been affected by the massive expansion of social media.<\/p>\n

Social networks also interfere with the conception of sexual relations<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Another important aspect linked to the construction of one’s own identity and the establishment of friendship ties is related to sexual awakening and romantic relationships among adolescents.<\/p>\n

Often the first love relationships, sexual or couple, arise from the group of friends.\u00a0These have also been seriously affected by the massive use of social networks.<\/p>\n

In the end, both the guiding principles and the conceptualizations of what is legitimate in a relationship are determined by the reality exposed in them.<\/p>\n

The impossibility of filtering the entire transmission of values \u200b\u200bin this context has contributed to an\u00a0increase in gender-based violence among adolescents<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Some of the factors that influence the situation are the accessibility to aggressions, the normalization of violence or the de-virtualization of key concepts such as fidelity, respect or love.<\/p>\n

Social networks: “addiction without substance”<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ultimately, social networks have become\u00a0the most widespread non-substance addiction among adolescents<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Much of the difficulties they face every day are related to their abuse.\u00a0In addition, it is common that there is no awareness of such dependence and that the effects are found indirectly in aspects such as school performance or mood.<\/p>\n

Although\u00a0not everything in its use is negative<\/a>\u00a0, it is necessary to maintain supervision by adults.\u00a0The objective: to guarantee an adequate use that protects the correct development of the adolescent.<\/p>\n
