The study's lead, Rainer Thomasius, warns that excessive social media use can lead to addiction, neglecting other areas of life and causing serious consequences such as poor school performance, social isolation, and family conflicts. Boys are more likely to be affected, with a higher rate of pathological media use than girls. Parents are advised to intervene quickly if they suspect their child's social media use is problematic, by regulating time and content, showing interest in online activities, and providing guidance. However, many parents struggle to do so, with 40% not limiting their children's media use and a quarter not moderating the content they access online.
