Abstract: Social networking sites have become quite popular among people, especially among young adults. Social media, including sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, has evolved into a virtual community, where users can interact with each other beyond their geographical boundaries. Researches in the past argue about the social aspects of internet use, but not much is known about how social media use is associated with psychological impact on youth . The aim of this systematic review is to find out if social networking sites, which have become a pervasive part of modern world, can lead to depression in youngsters. This research paper is a theoretical paper based on secondary data that includes the analysis of related content available on the internet, social media and researches published in journals. A multidatabase search was conducted to review papers published in last one decade.
