The grip of social media on today's youth is undeniable, dictating the narrative that shapes the younger generations. From an early age, they are inundated with information not of their choosing. In this formative period, questioning what they see or read often takes a back seat, fostering a generation susceptible to external influences. This lack of critical inquiry poses a risk of cultivating a cohort devoid of the essential tools for independent thought. The potential consequence is a generation at risk of losing its distinct personality, as their beliefs and values are shaped by external forces rather than internal reflection. To safeguard the individuality of the youth, it is imperative to instill habits of questioning, critical thinking, and discernment in the face of the pervasive influence of social media.
