Abstract
Social media has completely changed how young people interact with social concerns, thus in recent years, there has been a lot of research on how social media affects young people's involvement in social change. They have new opportunities for political engagement and activity to unify groups, influence public discourse, and raise awareness thanks to platforms like Facebook, what sup, Instagram, X and TikTok. Social media either helps or hinders young people's participation in social change activities. Digital platforms influence young activism by highlighting marginalized viewpoints and potentially facilitating real-time campaign and protest planning. The study considers the problems of disinformation, the digital divide, and the commercialization of activism, all of which can make sincere participation more difficult. The study also addresses social media's function in raising political awareness and establishing forums for polite discourse, as well as its capacity to support youth-led social movements and a sense of global solidarity. This study emphasizes social media's dual nature as a potent instrument for social change and a location where social media is crucial for guaranteeing its beneficial influence on young activism through a review of previous research and case studies. It is necessary to participate.
