Over the years, social media has had such a negative impact on this generation by encouraging unrealistic expectations, idealistic lifestyles, reducing real life social skills, and giving rise to anxiety and depression.
Most platforms have caused society to almost be intact with a reality that isn’t their own; which has brought more confusion and uncertainty to the surface for these young teens.
A lot of these individuals have failed to come to terms with the risks that social media has in terms of how it can easily have a negative impact on their mental health, along with how to deal with real world problems.
In many ways, social media has replaced authentic human interaction with an on-screen facade and will unfortunately have long term effects if no action is taken to prevent future generations from falling into the same trap.
It’s time to raise awareness on the downside of the recent social dynamics that have been made to seem normalized and make a change for the better.
