In contemporary times, the utilization of social media by adolescents has raised significant concerns and apprehensions among both societal and familial circles. Extensive research has consistently shown that the usage of social media by teenagers is closely linked to the emergence of loneliness, thereby establishing a conclusive association between the two phenomena. However, these findings need to provide directional evidence to prove a decisive causal relationship between the two directly. This study examines the association between teenagers use of social media and loneliness in terms of frequency of social media use, age, gender, usage patterns, motivation, and platform of use, as well as a summary of the roles of various contributing factors. This research claims that social media use and loneliness are bidirectional and dynamic. Among the population of adolescents, the motivation and manner in which they use social media can influence whether they benefit from social media use or whether it continues to deepen their feelings of isolation.
