Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, , course: Issues and Trend in Education, language: English, abstract: Motherhood is a task that requires all attention and seriousness it can get. Christian mothers must understand that motherhood is a God-given task that requires putting their all into it. Christian mothers must have an adequate understanding of their roles on their children and seek all means to play them out to make the family, society, and the world at large a good place to live. Social media platforms have continued to tremendously add value to society in many ways. It has continued to provide fast and easy communication, and relationships have also been built and sustained on them. Moreover, they are also contributing to easy academic endeavours. Teenagers are individuals transiting from childhood to adulthood; hence their lives are characterised by a series of decisions and activities. One of the means through which these attributes are exhibited is their use of social media platforms. However, this platform has been abused over the years as in noticeable numbers of cases, social media has been used to perpetrate criminal acts such as frauds, and it has led to wrong decision making, to mention but a few. Hence, seeing the importance of social media in the development of teenagers in the current generation, it is essential to address those responsible for their upbringing, one of whom are the mothers. The study is descriptive; hence it employed the use of a questionnaire to elicit information from teenagers and made use of books, articles, journals and internet sources to conduct findings.
