You may ask “How does social media use affect your daily life”?

Usually when teenagers wake up the first thing they do is go on their phone and check all their socials. This is a really bad way to start off your day because if you see a mean comment or something that makes you upset it ruins the day for you because you’ll be thinking about that specific thing all day.

One day I woke up and checked my phone to see one of my posts got a lot of views and likes. It was a post about how i got assaulted at school and got my hijab ripped off by one of the students. I went through the comments and saw a girl making up lies and twisting the story so it really upset me and made me feel horrible throughout the day, especially since it was a sensitive topic.

On Tiktok there’s usually these pretty girls that pop up on people’s for you pages and they have these “perfect” bodies and the comments are always flooded with things like this

Learning to take time out of your day to go outside and get some fresh air or do some of your hobbies is a great way to refresh your mind and better your mental health

Social media use can be very effective towards a person in a very negative way which is why if you have social media you should have limited time with it. I have a specific amount of screentime for myself everyday so i’m not using social media too much throughout the day.
