Here are some reasons why teenagers stay up late at night and some only stay in bed during the weekends. The first reason why teenagers stay up late and use  their phone late at night is because they can emotionally connect with their friends  and quiet, alone time at late night gives the teenagers space to reach out and text other teenagers. The second reason why teenagers stay late or stay in bed the whole day on the weekends is because they’re too busy during the weekdays. For example, some of the teenagers have after school classes, sport practices, and other kinds of activities.

 Social Media is really addictive, scientists found that if teenagers use technology, especially social media they make a pattern and they become addicted to social media. Teenagers usually don’t think ahead than adults, like their parents or teachers. Their brain isn’t mature yet and their brains are not fully developed. Teens also think it is hard to make a choice about how they will feel in the future. Science confirms that    having cell phones and sleep is a bad combination.
