What Impact Does Social Media Have on Mental Health?

Social media of all kinds have big impacts on specifically teenagers. Teens struggle with finding confidence within themselves, and as social media begins to get involved, it does not help them find confidence, it only helps them lose it.

"Ill go on social media or Instagram or whatever and ill see these perfect girls with perfect lives and perfect bodies and they have all the friends they could need, and money, you just kind of look at them and think, why cant I have that life? you know what I mean? So it kind of affected me talking to people because I was scared that people wouldn't want to talk to me because I wasn't that pretty, I wasn't that rich, I wasn't that skinny." Said a teen from Windsor High School in an interview about how social media affects her daily life.
