About a year ago, teenager Anastasia Vlasova started seeing a therapist. She had developed an eating disorder, and had a clear idea of what led to it: her time on Instagram.
She joined the platform at 13, and eventually was spending three hours a day entranced by the seemingly perfect lives and bodies of the fitness influencers who posted on the app.
Not only toxic but extra toxic
EminenceOfRapture The Present Day Church is Mixing her Christian Life With Sin. 현대 교회는 자신의 크리스천 삶과 죄를 혼합시키고 있습니다.
This isn't a gender-based issue. There's always someone who has to be looking for the mental health problem to exist on a platform such as Instagram. Before it was bulimia/anorexia in a mirror.
Facebook knows that Facebook is toxic
it is toxic for the insecure and ugly. It did not bother me. If it makes you feel bad, seek help or don’t go on it. But stop bothering the rest of us.
No one seems concerned with my internet driven self-esteem issues. I always feel inadequate after watching numerous BBC porn videos.
Facebook is out of control. They should be regulated like a media company.
That's very strange. Social media doesn't make me feel bad about myself, usually. It sometimes dims my view of others, or the world in general, because I read the news. The beauty on Instagram brightens my day. It doesn't make me feel ugly, by comparison.
good
Can we somehow fine FB like cigarette companies? Both know their product is toxic, both target children
Really
We've been researching this for year and unfortunately the toxicity is just getting worse for girls
As a certified International playboy, this Data makes sense to me. Fewer than One in 3 teen girls are attractive. These days, most are obese or Homosexual.
but THIS chart is ok....
what about boys 🤔
Why? The world wants to bang them and they want to be famous.
good luck
They sell their bodies?
With more light being shed on this issue and with the commendable effort of teens like Destineefutp60 and yoblonskii who are studying the adverse effects that social media has on teens' physical health, let's hope there are some positive changes on the way 🤞.
Novel idea. Maybe parents should tell their kids to lay off the french fries and soda
Novel idea, what if the parents didn’t allow teens on social media?
