      abstract = {Social media is a growing and ever-changing method of  communication that has a strong impact on the psychosocial  well-being of today’s adolescents. Studies have found that  social media can be detrimental to adolescent self-esteem,  can be used to bully and manipulate others, and can  exacerbate depressive symptoms. Furthermore, adolescents  self-report utilizing social networking websites to find  support, guidance, and community revolving around  problematic behaviors such as self-harm and eating  disorders. Social workers who treat this population should  become familiar with the multitude of outlets in order to  best support their clients. This paper draws from the  authors’ experience with this population and the literature  to date in order to establish the need for a social work  prepared for the digital age.},
