Social Media Especially Harms Girls’ Sleep & Mental Health<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

June 30 was World Social Media Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a survey conducted between September and October 2025, 50 percent of 13- to 17-year-old girls said that social media has hurt their sleep, versus 40 percent of boys the same age.<\/p>\n

As Statista’ Anna Fleck reports<\/a>,\u00a0teenage girls are more likely than boys to report negative impacts from\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0on their sleep, self confidence, levels of productivity and mental health<\/strong>, according to a recent\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0by the Pew Research Center.<\/p>\n

A similar gap occurs for the issue of mental health (25 percent of girls, 14 percent of boys).<\/p>\n

However, the biggest share of respondents said social media sites neither helped nor hurt their mental health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around one in five of both sexes said that social media had negative impacts on school grades.<\/p>\n

Teens were more positive when it came to the question of friendships.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Altogether, 30 percent of teenagers said that social media has helped their friendships either a little or a lot.<\/p>\n

Girls were slightly more likely to say that social media harmed friendships, at 9 percent versus 5 percent.<\/p>\n

According to Pew, there were no meaningful gender differences among teens who say social media helped any of the aspects mentioned<\/strong> on this chart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
