As the influence of social media on young people's learning behavior increases, educational practices are facing new challenges and changes. This paper analyzes the changes social media content brings to education and the relationship between social media and youth learning behavior. Second, it explores the educational operation, imbalance in the system, and derivative risks of social media on the education system. On this basis, we put forward the strategies we adopt in the face of social media technology challenges, including two-way interaction, shared responsibility, and education system upgrading. Finally, this paper emphasizes correcting social media and restoring the essence of education. To sum up, this study aims to stimulate thinking about the relationship between youth learning behavior and social media and how to deal with relevant challenges in educational practice, thus promoting the high-quality development of education.
