The Role Social Media Plays in Teenage Relationship Abuse

- Ilaria Viscariello '25

My topic is abuse in teenage relationships and the effect social media has on the relationship. I am passionate about this topic because it deeply impacts the emotional and mental well being of young adults, which is something that is not talked about enough. Teenagers often lack the experience or resources to recognize unhealthy relationship behaviors, so I want to make it my goal to change that. Abuse can be seen in my ways and in many forms which is why I want to raise awareness of this issue and shine light on the problem. I hope to create a presentation that explains the use of social media and the negative attitude it can bring to a relationship if not used right. My topic mainly focuses on the younger generation in hopes that in the future it is talked about more.
