Abstract: This paper explores the impact of teenage media use on academic performance, peer influence, interpersonal relationships, and personality development. Based on data collected through a survey of 1,200 teenagers aged 13-18 and analyzed using SPSS, the study examines the different types of media used by teenagers, including social media, video games, television, and the internet, and their effects on various aspects of their lives. The results suggest that excessive media use, particularly social media and video games, has a significant negative impact on academic performance while also affecting peer interactions, interpersonal relationships, and personality development. The findings highlight the need for balanced media use among teenagers to foster healthy development.
