📱 Is Social Media Affecting Your Teen’s Mental Health? Too much social media can look like... -Having anxiety,low self-esteem & negative thoughts -Comparison of oneself to others & feel as if one isn't doing enough -Behavior changes that cause teens to isolate & have mood swings

🚨 Is social media taking over your teen’s life? 🚨 If your child is losing sleep, skipping activities, withdrawing from family, or having mood swings when they’re away from their phone—it could be more than just a habit. It might be digital dependence.

Have you ever stopped to think about how social media shapes the way students see themselves? One student shares how the pressure to curate a “perfect” online presence can lead to overthinking, stress, and even shifts in daily behavior. #SocialMediaPressure #ParentingTeens

Let’s remind kids that their worth isn’t defined by a highlight reel or a filtered photo. Their joy, growth, and confidence matter more than online perception. Sedalia School District 200 Todd Fraley Josh Ochs

Fentanyl isn’t just a drug crisis—it’s a silent predator targeting teens through social media. Fake pills disguised as common medications and drugs are being sold on apps like Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok—putting your child at risk.
