Teens’ views about social media

Opiniões dos adolescentes sobre as redes sociais

By Monica Anderson, Emily A. Vogels, Andrew Perrin and Lee Rainie

Social media used by teens has drawn significant attention from parents, journalists and lawmakers in recent years. The harmful things concerns include the amount of time teens spend on their screens, the ways teens may use social media to compare themselves with others, cyberbullying, and social media’s ability to lead some teens to radical views and actions.

As redes sociais utilizadas pelos adolescentes têm atraído uma atenção significativa de pais, jornalistas e legisladores nos últimos anos. As preocupações com coisas prejudiciais incluem a quantidade de tempo que os adolescentes passam nos ecrãs, as formas como os adolescentes podem usar as redes sociais para se compararem com os outros, o cyberbullying e a capacidade das redes sociais de levar alguns adolescentes a visões e ações radicais.

Despite the concerns that have been raised about teens’ experiences online, teens largely see the time they spend on social media in a neutral or positive light. Indeed, teens are more likely to say that social media has a mostly positive – rather than negative – effect on their lives. And majorities say social media makes them feel more connected with friends, more accepted, like they have a support network, and like they have a creative outlet.

Apesar das preocupações levantadas sobre as experiências dos adolescentes online, estes geralmente veem o tempo que passam nas redes sociais de forma neutra ou positiva. De facto, os adolescentes são mais propensos a dizer que as redes sociais têm um efeito principalmente positivo — em vez de negativo — nas suas vidas. E a maioria diz que as redes sociais fazem com que se sintam mais ligados aos amigos, mais aceites, como se tivessem uma rede de apoio e uma válvula de escape criativa.

“I am kind of socially awkward and making friends in person has often been difficult. Currently, I have a couple long time friendships online and talk with them practically daily”. – Teen boy

“Sou um pouco desajeitado socialmente e fazer amigos pessoalmente tem sido difícil. Atualmente tenho algumas amizades antigas online e falo com elas praticamente todos os dias.” – Rapaz adolescente

“On YouTube, I can easily access helpful videos and news alongside entertainment. YouTube has actually been an integral part of several of my classes as it helped people learn how to use software”. – Teen girl

No YouTube, posso aceder facilmente a vídeos e notícias úteis, bem como a entretenimento. O YouTube tem sido parte integrante de várias das minhas aulas, pois ajudou as pessoas a aprender a utilizar software. – Menina adolescente

However, teens’ experiences are not uniformly positive.

No entanto, as experiências dos adolescentes não são uniformemente positivas. 

There is also evidence that experiencing some of the negative sides of social media varies by gender, with teen girls being more likely than teen boys to report that things they come across on these platforms make them feel overwhelmed because of all the drama, like their friends are leaving them out of things, and worse about their own lives.

Há também evidências de que a experiência com alguns dos lados negativos das redes sociais varia de acordo com o gênero, sendo as adolescentes mais propensas do que os adolescentes a relatar que as coisas que encontram nestas plataformas as fazem sentir sobrecarregadas por causa de todo o drama, como se os seus amigos as estivessem a deixar de fora das coisas, e pior ainda, sobre as suas próprias vidas.

When teens are asked to reflect on their personal experiences with social media, again, 59% say social media has had a neither positive nor negative effect on them personally.

Quando os adolescentes são solicitados a refletir sobre as suas experiências pessoais com as redes sociais, mais uma vez, 59% dizem que as redes sociais não tiveram um efeito positivo nem negativo sobre eles pessoalmente.

Just 9% of teens say social media has had a mostly negative effect on them personally, and 32% say it has been mostly positive in their experience.

Apenas 9% dos adolescentes dizem que as redes sociais tiveram um efeito negativo sobre eles pessoalmente, e 32% dizem que o efeito foi positivo na sua experiência.

Nearly half describe the benefits of socializing on these platforms or the ability to build or maintain connections with others while using social media: About one-in-ten teens (10%) see their experiences with social media as mostly negative.

Quase metade descreve os benefícios de socializar nestas plataformas ou a capacidade de criar ou manter ligações com outras pessoas ao utilizar as redes sociais: cerca de um em cada dez adolescentes (10%) vê as suas experiências com as redes sociais como, na sua maioria, negativas.

“I think social media has had a negative effect on me because the more I’m on it the less I’m socially active. I feel like social media has become something I cannot live without, almost like a second limb.” – Teen boy “Pressure, comparing myself, cyberbullying, stuck in a loop of social media, having an empty-feeling effect after use, going down rabbit holes of comparing myself, overwhelming.” – Teen girl

Penso que as redes sociais tiveram um efeito negativo em mim, porque quanto mais as utilizo, menos ativo socialmente. Sinto que as redes sociais se tornaram algo sem o qual não consigo viver, quase como um segundo membro. – Adolescente “Pressão, comparações, cyberbullying, preso num loop de redes sociais, tendo um efeito de sentimento de vazio após o uso, caindo em tocas de coelho de comparações, opressor.” – Menina adolescente
