Omschrijving

What happens when childhood is filtered through screens, self-worth is measured in likes, and identity is built in public?

In Growing Up Online: How Social Media and Screen Culture Are Shaping the Adolescent Mind, readers are taken inside one of the most profound psychological shifts of the modern age: what it means to come of age in a world where the internet is not a tool, but a habitat.

Today's adolescents are growing up under conditions no previous generation has ever faced. Their friendships unfold in group chats. Their confidence rises and falls with notifications. Their sense of identity is shaped not only by family, school, and culture, but by algorithms, online comparison, digital performance, and the relentless pressure to stay visible, connected, and relevant.

This compelling and deeply timely book explores how social media and screen culture are reshaping the teenage brain, emotional development, attention span, relationships, self-image, and mental health. From anxiety, loneliness, and cyberbullying to validation-seeking, digital dependency, and the silent erosion of offline resilience, Growing Up Online reveals the hidden psychological cost of living perpetually online.

But this is not a book of panic or blame.

It is a powerful, thought-provoking examination of how adolescents are adapting to a new social reality, and what parents, educators, mental health professionals, and society at large must understand if they hope to guide the next generation with wisdom rather than fear.

Insightful, urgent, and impossible to ignore, Growing Up Online is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the emotional lives of young people in the digital era—and the future being shaped behind every screen.
