Study finds most preteens use social media, linking underage use to mental health issues.
A study by the University of California, San Francisco, found that most 11- and 12-year-olds use TikTok, Instagram, and other social media platforms despite age restrictions.
The research, involving over 10,000 children aged 11-15, revealed that 25% reported signs of addiction, and 6.3% hid their accounts from parents.
Underage use was linked to depression, eating disorders, ADHD, and disruptive behaviors.
Researchers urge policymakers to address this as a systemic issue and create measures to protect children online.
