With the advent of social media, students are exposed and engaged in a wide variety of worldwide trends in the shortest possible time. Social media is an integral part of adolescent life. It allows them to create an identity, communicate with others and entertain or express themselves.  However, social media can also negatively affect adolescents by creating a forum for bullying and inappropriate behavior as well as encouraging unrealistic views of themselves and others. With this in mind, it is necessary to equip adolescents with information to guide their decisions. This course will highlight relevant laws governing the use of social media, explore social media abuses and the social and psychological harm that these abuses may cause students. Lastly it will draw attention to the negative effects of trends and challenges on adolescents.
