##article.abstract##

Over usage of Social Networking Sites has led to certain negative consequences. The study found more than 40% of Instagram users who reported feeling “unattractive” said it began on the app; about a quarter of the teenagers experienced a feeling of “inadequacy” which started on Instagram (The Guardian, 2021).  Generation Z (born between 1995-2012) is, particularly showing a rise in addiction to social media, resulting in transformation of their behavior (Sharma, Kaushal and Joshi, 2023). This article will mainly explore negative sides of social media on Gen Z in Uzbekistan, with a focus on three main areas including cyberbullying, mental health and communication skills.
