June 03, 2020 17- Do Likes Equal Self Love? | The Pros and Cons of Social Media
We are the first generation where social media is pretty much all we have ever known. We have been on social media as late as 3rd grade. There have been few memorable moments when social media was not creating a virtual world within our lives. And the social pressures did not lessen by entering this new world. Now, with our eyes constantly viewing everyone's lives more than ever before, comparison and judging have never been easier. Today Jennasea and Stephanie discuss the role social media has had in their lives, and more specifically how it can easily overtake someone's life and mental health.
