Study of social isolation and its causes in adolescents

This study examines the phenomenon of social isolation, its context, causes and consequences in relation to adolescents. It’s important to understand why some people become socially isolated. Family relationships, friendships, economic status, and technology use besides several other important factors may cause social isolation among adolescents. The study highlights how these factors increase feelings of loneliness, isolation and subsequently lead to certain mental health problems, such as anxiety and depressive states. The results of the study call for interventions that focus on helping adolescents develop social competence and social resilience, among other things. Hopefully that this research will support interventions that ensure the most social obligations that aim to improve interactions among youth and help eliminate the causes associated with adolescent social isolation.
