With the advent of social media, there have been a lot of promising opportunities especially for young people. Social media is a virtual meeting point for social engagement. Social engagement can help young people to be in contact together and improve positive mental well-being. Loneliness exacerbated by the recent global lockdown due to coronavirus diseases can potentially fuel suicidal thoughts. Social media can be a tool to mitigate the social effects of lockdown. The advantages of social media should be properly utilized to help young people to connect to each and engage in positive interactions.
