"I'm very concerned that social media has become an important contributor to the pain and the struggles that many of our young people are facing."
-- US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy

A surgeon general's advisory is "reserved for significant public health challenges that require the nation's immediate awareness and action,"
according to the report released by the surgeon general's office.

The surgeon general said that while we're in the "middle of a youth mental health crisis" it's important to identify possible causes. The advisory recognizes that social media has both positive and negative effects on young people, but that ultimately there's not enough "research and clear data" to determine if it's "safe" for adolescents to use.
