In today’s tech-driven world, mobile phones have become our constant companions. But what happens when we cross the line into overuse? Excessive screen time refers to prolonged and unmanaged use of digital devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and computers, beyond recommended limits. For teenagers, the impact can be particularly profound. Excessive screen time can hinder learning by reducing attention spans and impairing memory retention. It may also strain social relationships, as face-to-face interactions are replaced by digital communication, leading to feelings of isolation. Additionally, it can disrupt focus, making it harder to complete tasks or engage in meaningful activities. By recognising these risks—ranging from academic challenges to emotional well-being—we can help teenagers build healthier digital habits and maintain a balanced lifestyle.
