Yes , not just teens. Everyone
👍
Absolutely social media is poison to the mind.
Understand this!....it's not "social media", it's "anti social media"....there is NO socializing going on whatsoever!
so trueee
Yessss I had a whole long conversation about this when I was in my layover at the airport with a woman she was so kind and she told me about sites that can help kids… I feel like kids need to get off there phoned
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.
Wow, typical over-educated bloviation. Lots of fancy words that add up to very little. You should have a bright future in Academia.
Snobs like you are the reason for it though.
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.
Sorry if my post upset you and made you want to insult me. I hope you're having a better day today. @@davemathews7890
I find what you do fascinating and wish you great success. I just read an article abt Utah & their new legislation coming 2024. (…why I’m going down UA-cam rabbit hole 😂…) All the best, Rick
Sounds interesting! Where can we find your research? Do you have anything published?
as a former hardcore user, it's harmful effects last now for at least 5 years after quitting, i have no urge to be social, or find new friends or any kind of love, it's permanent, it will never go away, too late to make a change
News media is no better but we're never gonna have that conversation
Cesar Sayoc tried to have it, but they didn't listen.
Obviously. Just like the last 10 thousand times this question was asked.
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.
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.

This is called "gamification"
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.
Simplest , u spoke out right
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.
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
Is water wet? 🤦♂️
Why is this even a question? There are ongoing lawsuits against Facebook and Instagram because they know their platforms are addicting.
😂 Addicting. It's not addicting for people with higher intelligence. Facebook is joke
Exactly!👍…yet I’m learning there are not many current laws for lawyers to grasp onto when making claims… Utah is coming out in march 2024 with legislation that could change the entire landscape.
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.
The blame always falls on parenting, so it's them
Good analogy. If you have seen…might wanna google Utah Social Media legislation for 2024. Addiction at the forefront and that social media companies know their apps have addictive traits in their computer code…something comics & tv due to platform don’t have. All the best, Rick
@RyanSymons No, they were certain that they were observing an epidemic that was in fact imaginary. Old people love to worry and complain about anything that is new and different.
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.
true observation. in the end we all agree that any shift in practices brings good and bad
Of COURSE it does.
Would anyone expect anything else when nobody having any personal ties socially becomes normal ???????????
I feel sorry for kids these days and for probably the last 30+ years for multiple reasons , and the new normal isn't normal at all ,,,!!!!!!!!!
👍
What a ridiculous question!
social media made me live in complete isolation. Which is a good thing actually 🤗🤗🤗.
I would highly recommend living a lonely life as much as you could.
that kinda isnt a good thing....
@@iveneverreadabookHumans were designed to socialize. Studies show being isolated is bad for overall health. Even introverts need regular socialization. In fact, many countries isolate people as a form of torture.
@@LiqqaRoni-cx3tx facts lol like I been isolated since high school and thats why my life is in a mess:/
@LiqqaRoni-cx3tx hell is other people.
I been in isolation since I left high school. I literally cut down any friendships I had . I have no friends, no girlfriend and I only talk between time and time with my family.
I just wish If people embrace this style of living instead of running away from it.
@@MagicBus-ct7fe honestly I feel u a lot... I still feel lonely like naruto... but yea my life feels so sigh...
My close friend Matt Gaetz says he supports underage girls chatting online. Matt says: "It's a great way to meet more mature people who are willing to share nice & profitable experiences irl." MAGA!
Social media has a negative effect on everyone's mind. People get too caught up with gaslighting and virtue signalling headlines that have no merit or truth. They get told what to think, and how to think. A perfect example is the comment you just made about Matt Gaetz.
@@mr.september2879 Nice words! That girl, Matt Gaetz's friend. Can you get me her phone number?
we shall see who is laughing last , and loudest
matt is innocent because he's rich and his daddy is friends with the people in office and justice system. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@WarRior-rn4kb You say that like Hunter Biden didn't almost get away with a sweetheart deal that he conjured up with the obviously compromised and weaponized DOJ. Thank God the judge put an abrupt stop to that.
Just blame me that seems to solve everybodys problems.
Thats a question that merits investigation. But left wing media certainly does cause pain and mental struggle for many.
Ur probably not gonna like the new Utah laws coming 2024 of which could snowball to all states.
Bro, right wing media is INSANE.
Actually, most media in the US is INSANE, I don't know how you guys live properly down there!
Omg where the hell have you been?? Under a rock??? We knew this years ago.
They're too busy fellating Biden. Let's just say it.

Is it a question at this point?
Since you are a facebook user you have the responsibility to change the way you used socmed .like promoting self love body positivity and mental health awareness.
I respect Mc Arthur.
