In conclusion, I think overall I have answered my research question in a variety of accurate ways.

Research Question: How has technological change had such an impact on teenager’s anxiety levels?

Being right in the centre of the technological revolution and being around all up and coming technology has really put a stress on our lives, especially on teenagers being so young and trying to adapt so quickly. They might not feel like they are experiencing any harm but some are.

Technology has had an impact on teen’s anxiety and overall mental health by being extremely isolating, addictive and new. Teens are doing nothing but texting, tweeting and snapchatting that it is really upsetting their brains, health and personal relationships.

On the other hand, it is helping a lot as well. Teens with social-anxiety can use their phones and technology to connect to friends as speaking in person may be hard. As well as doing school online as it doesn’t require any face-face interaction and this relaxes them. Technology has also helped many other mental disorders such as depression as you can now get help through your phone by downloading therapeutic apps to relax, talk to someone and get 24/7 suicide prevention access.

Although technology seems like it is scary for our mental state at the rate it is developing it is also equally good for us.

Ultimately technological change is having a bad effect on teens but also helping teens cope so it hasn’t got bad enough yet.
