Social Media & Selfies
I have a love-hate relationship with social media. I love that you stumbled onto this blog via social media! I love that it keeps me connected to friends who are in different time zones. I love seeing what exciting adventures others are embarking on. I love the way people use social media as a platform for good. I also love that I did not grow up with social media. I hate that social media is addicting. I hate that social media makes you feel inadequate if you do not have enough ‘follower’ ‘likes’ or ‘retweets’. I hate that social media is an avenue for online bullying. I hate social media for sucking me into its web of lies. I came across some interesting statistics… • 55 percent of girls and 34 percent of teen boys say "overall, social media makes me feel more self-conscious about my appearance." • 58 percent of teen girls say "seeing pictures of other people living glamorous-looking lives on social media makes me feel bad about myself.”
