Passage 11
学霸导读 社交媒体对青少年的心理影响不容忽视，父母可以从哪些方面帮孩子趋利避 害呢？
From cyber-bullying （ 网 络 霸 凌 ） to cruel comments， social media can be a land mine （ 地雷 ） for kids. Issues parents never worried about are now a risk for many teens. Worried about kids’ digital well-being， researchers are exploring potential links between social media and the rise in teen suicide rates （ 自杀率 ）， tech addiction （ 网瘾 ）， and l 1 of real-life social skills. Many parents are wondering： Is social media causing my kid to have anxiety？
It’s a question that worries parents. Some research has observed a relationship between social media use and anxiety in kids， but it’s diff icult to know if and when social media causes anxiety or whether kids who are anxious turn to social media as a way to s 2 support. How kids use social media matters， too. Social comparison and feedback-seeking behaviors have been associated with depressive symptoms （ 抑郁症状 ）， which often co-occur with anxiety.
How can parents keep social media p 3 for kids?
1. Seeing photos of a trip to the beach your friends didn’t i 4 you to can really be upsetting. If your kids are tired of digital drama, suggest they take a break from social media for a while. In fact, if they post a status update that they’re taking a break, their friends might accept it because they’ve had similar feelings.
2. People post stuff that makes their lives look p 5 —not the homework struggles, or the f ight they had with their dads. Remind kids that social media leaves the messy stuff out—and that everyone has ups and downs.
3. In a world where kids could spend their days lying around looking at Wechat， it’s doubly （ 加倍地 ） important for them to feel as though they’re cultivating their inner lives. Prompt them to b 6 social media with soul-nourishing （ 滋养内心的 ） activities such as hobbies， exercise， reading， and helping others. O 7 ， what are they going to show off on social media？
