When you think of Social Media your mind probably starts
piling up on negative thoughts. Well, if
it’s so bad, why do we have it? Well, I
don’t know but I’m here today to tell you some reasons how Social Media effects
your health.
First off, it can lead to jealousy. Jealousy is when someone thinks that someone else
is better than them in some way, people might do horrible thinks in order to
become better than them. For example,
someone is posting pictures online of their tropical vacations. Now, a lot of people had admit to becoming
jealous over these kind of things. But the person might not have money that the
other person has to go on any vacation. People can get jealous over how someone
looks, how they dress, how wealthy they are, much they have that someone else doesn’t,
etc.
Social Media can also lead to Addiction. Addiction of social
media itself can lead to a lack of sleep, social withdraw and eye strain. When you carry around your cell phone, or any
device… with your phone ringing a bell anytime someone contacts you on social
media. Social Media becomes hard to escape.
Social Media Addiction is actually becoming common Facebook users. People have done research on this, we found
out that at least 63% log on to Facebook on a daily basis, the 40% log on to it
multiple times each day. When people
want to relax most of us will turn right to social media. For people that have
a social media addiction, sitting down and going on social media is what they
call relaxing. . But at the same time
some people that aren’t addicted will struggle to relax because the thought of
social media. That shows a lot, that
shows how much of an impact social media has on us.
Social Media has put people in depression. Depression can be caused by
cyberbullying. 95% of teenagers on
social media have witnessed cyberbullying happen and 33% have been victims
themselves. That is a lot, but people have also said that this will never go
away.
