Is social media making children anti-social?

A recent study by the International Center for Media and the Public Agenda, found most teens could not sign off of social media for 24 hours without feeling lonely.

Nearly half of all middle and high school students admit to abusing social media, according to a new study. That abuse includes sending inappropriate, and often sexual texts, stalking and even online bullying. So, is social media making kids anti-social? "Absolutely," said Davian Weller, the father of a teenage son. "I believe it 100%. I think they've lost how to communicate with a person. I don't believe they should be on the phone or on an iPad all day long. I want him to go outside, be with his friends. Do something."
