Social Media & Mental Health
Bad
Addiction
Being addicted to social media is common now because we as a society are becoming more and more attatched to our phones, computers, tablets, (etc.)
Mental Illness
Mental illnesses like anxiety and depression are more common than they should be for someone using social media, a lot. This can occur from cyber bullying, or other things like it. Social media can also make you stressed.
Sleeplessness or Insomnia
If your constantly on social media, then you might lose track of time, or be on later than you should. Which can lead to sleeplessness and in some cases, insomnia.
Insecurities
Using social media can lead to having insecurities you didn't have before. Social media's like Instagram use skinny women, with beautiful faces to model their things, and make more people use their brands (etc), but this can lead to the people using it, to feel insecure because of their own looks, or body types.
Bad People Online
We all know by now, that there are a lot of perv's and nasties online, and in most cases all you can do it report and block them, and tell an adult, but what is stopping that perv or nasty from going to someone else, and doing whatever they were doing?!
Exposure To Bad Things
Something that is very common, is exposure to inappropriate content, such as pornography, to little kids, you don't want your kids looking at that, and having to answer the
AGE OLD QUESTION..
"Where do babies come from?" or "What's this?" to a little kid.
Good
Finding Interests You Have
Think of it like this, your scrolling social media and you find something that interests you.. like, really interests you, so you look into it, try it, and like it!
Staying Updated About The World
People can use social media for good as well as bad, this is because people can be using it to stay updated with the world, and not be clueless about whats happening, like global warming, thats happening, and without social media's not many people would know about it
Connecting With People
You can also connect with people on social media and make new friends, which you may not have known even existed!
Research
Social Media can sometimes help with research, but it really depends, because if your looking up something like.. "How did the war of 1813 start?" then it might not give you sufficient answers, but it can still help.
