Nowadays, modern technology plays a crucial role in teenagers' daily lives. Most teenagers have smartphones, tablets, or laptops connected to the Internet. They use these devices to browse websites, search for study materials, and interact with friends on social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram.

Social media allows teenagers to stay connected with classmates, share hobbies, and join online study groups. For example, students can easily upload homework questions to online forums and receive quick solutions from teachers or peers. Furthermore, relaxing with online music, videos, and games helps teens reduce mental pressure after long study hours.

In addition, some teens experience peer pressure or cyberbullying, making them feel anxious and lonely.
