(Introduction) Addiction is a chronic condition that is generally characterized by physical and psychological dependency and withdrawal symptoms. Although there are many types of addiction, when most people hear the word "addiction," they immediately think of drug and alcohol abuse. However, this term does not only refer to substance abuse; it can also refer to the inability to refrain from taking part in certain activities. Internet addiction is the most common behavioral addiction that is invading people's lives these days; the younger generations are becoming more and more obsessed with social media platforms, to the extent that they spend their whole day on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and other applications. Several factors contribute to social media addiction, including happy hormones and social anxiety.

2. (Paragraph 2/ Body Paragraph 1) _______________________________________________________________________________________________. These hormones are mood-boosters produced by the brain in response to certain events. For example, each time you receive alerts from social networking sites, your brain gets excited and releases a small quantity of dopamine. Subsequently, over time, this will become a habit, and you will be susceptible to addictive behavior. As revealed by a Harvard University study, both drugs and sharing personal information on social media stimulate the same brain region. In fact, neurologists really equate social media engagement with an instant dopamine shot.

3 (Paragraph 3/ Body Paragraph 2) In addition to happy hormones, social anxiety is another reason that can cause social media addiction. People with this disorder seek online chats to escape social anxiety. This was proven by research done on these people. Studies  concluded that anxiety was approximately 80%  less in online engagements than in face-to-face ones. Furthermore, a new study from Uppsala University showed that 62% of lonely introverts are people suffering from a social anxiety disorder, and these people use social media platforms to compensate for their social disorder. People should try to seek help from close friends when facing such kind of anxiety. Despite the temporary relief from the loneliness that social media platforms provide, anxious teenagers, for example, may spend 9 hours on their media interacting, according to a report released by Common Sense Media.

(Conclusion) ___________, social media addiction is a very serious and common problem, which is mainly caused by happy hormones and social anxiety. Indeed, with more than half of the total population being active social media users, it seems that parents are our only saviors. Parents should monitor their children and educate them on the dangers of social media in order to limit this type of addiction. Not to forget that parents themselves should also have some control over the time they spend on social media platforms.
