1. Screen Addiction
Many teen boys spend hours on phones, tablets, or computers. This can affect their sleep, studies, and overall health.
2. Exposure to Inappropriate Content
The internet can expose teens to violent, sexual, or harmful content. Parents need to guide them and have open conversations.
3. Social Media Pressure
Social media can create stress, low self-esteem, and comparison. Teens may feel pressured to get likes or follow trends.
4. Online Safety
Cyberbullying, online strangers, and scams are real dangers. Teaching teens about safe online behavior is crucial.
5. Reduced Real-Life Interaction
Too much digital time can affect communication skills and relationships with family and friends.
How Parents Can Help:
Set screen time limits
Encourage offline hobbies and sports
Talk openly about online experiences
Monitor apps and social media use
By understanding these challenges and guiding their teen boys, parents can help them enjoy the benefits of technology while staying safe and balanced.
