Short answer: critical — social media shapes teens’ mental health, privacy exposure, and digital resumes recruiters/colleges check. Schools should prioritize digital literacy, privacy settings & metadata, spotting/handling cyberbullying, consent and healthy online habits, reporting pathways, and partnerships with families.

Practical tech tips: teach 2FA, run routine privacy-checkups, default accounts to private, scrub location metadata before sharing, and use screen-time + content filters. Pro tip: enable geofencing and device-level controls for younger students. For parental oversight consider monitoring apps like mSpy — use responsibly and legally, with transparency for minors.
