    The good all days when the most you could do was play with friends, read books,do chores and still have spare time left and you were happy. Newer generations will never know what mental freedom is like.

    I’m doing my PhD in social psych and I research the experience of the “gap” between the mind and world.
    People who use social media more often have a stronger sense of this gap.
    What’s troubling, is that the gap is also related to dehumanization, conspiratorial beliefs, sympathy for extremism, lack of meaning in life, avoidance, anxiety and depression.
    So yeah in plain terms I think social media is cutting off kids from the real world and messing with their humanity.

      dehumanization: a cognitive bias against ascribing "human" virtues (consciousness, moral worth, etc.) to certain people or groups
      conspiratorial beliefs: distrust of institutions and willingness to endorse atypical and controversial beliefs (e.g., birds are government spy drones)
      sympathy for extremism: Willingness to offer emotional or even economic support for violent political or religious acts
      lack of meaning in life: A general sense that life is meaningless
      avoidance, anxiety, and depression: Self explanatory?
      There, the meanings of all the fancy words. What they add up to is there are a bunch of (young) people who spend more time "in their own heads" than interacting with the real world (i.e., "organic reality"). It's an interesting phenomenon and it explains alot about people in modern society, such as the prevalence of the variables mentioned above.

    Children are not supposed to see hundreds of photos and videos in a never ending timeline or feed. This causes information overload and a false sense of time. As someone who grew up in the 90s, there were limitations to news information and entertainment. It was rare to see children that contemplated suicide, sex change and severe ADHD.

    Social media definitely plays a huge role in mental health struggles for teens. The constant pressure to compare ourselves to others can lead to anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. We need to focus more on real-life connections and self-acceptance.

    We spend the the highest per capita on education per student but scoring less on reading, math, and science. What does it have to due mental health? Less job opportunities that required higher skill levels in the competitive job market including service sector that requires greater emphany.

      I’m learning that it’s all about addiction and how the social media companies already know this, have data to prove, etc But, computer laws are 15’ish yrs behind the curve therefore these companies have no legal reason to change. Utah has new law coming 2024.

    Considering that my sister stays chronically online and is always on Twitter 24/7 arguing with kpop Stan accounts which is causing her to lash out and cuss out everyone in my house, I would say that social media does have a huge impact on your mental health.
    I found myself more hateful, judgmental, and lonely than ever.

    • @joesama3282

      Kpop and Social Media is a worst combo that you will ever encounter, the moment that the pop industry are so encouraged on competition to the extreme pacing such as only kpop in the world music scene that have weekly music shows and more award shows to capitalize the audience. The nature of the hive mindset of "stan" as a whole and siege mentality "Cyberbullying on rival groups" can cause overtime mental draining. Kpop stan spew tons of toxicity everyday, doesn't matter if it doing it on defend or not, it certainly pulled you down to the bottom level and you will be stuck. All these unhealthy "basement life" interaction will eventually impact alot in real life causing one to be lock up in the room all the time, paranoid to almost any criticism, struggle to talk even in face to face, it's permanent and it will take long years to get out of it by deleting everything and endure those loneliness period like what I did few years back it wasn't easy

    When my grandparents were young, comic books and juvenile delinquency were blamed for destroying America's youth. When I was growing up, the blame shifted to television. Now social media is the villain. Seems like everything new that comes along gets the blame.

      I do think there are enough studies and evidence that social media is actually causing extreme issues in a large group of individuals. Comics are not even comparable to purposely addictive rage baiting algorithms which gives you access to almost the entire world. I still cant believe people even make this comparison.

    I think that social media has both good and bad effects on teens’ mental health. I absolutely agree that it depends on the content that the teen is watching. They can watch educating content and benefit from it, or watch stupid content and deteriorate mentally, isolating from reality. It is also common teenagers watching someone’s perfect life (which in most cases is not that perfect), compare to theirs and get pressured psychologically. They should understand that what is shown on social media is not the whole picture and not compare to others.
