There were over 12,000 counselling sessions with young people who spoke to Child line about online issues last year’ Every single day I go on social media and witness the same quotes, the same opinions and the same stories. The first thing most of us do, [well I personally do anyway] when we wake up is check our phones, phones are life and death for some of us and it definitely shouldn’t be like this. Social media corrupts the mind of us all, it encourages us to think a certain way and act a certain way, it makes us believe that if you’re not doing recognised things you’re not ‘ cool ‘ enough or you’re not living the right lifestyle. Who seriously makes these rules? There is so much pressure especially on young people today to obtain a certain image. Why Is it even a thing for young boys ages 16-21 to be financially stable ? We are made to think that this is the norm however that male posting consistent pictures in designer wear can NOT afford it, don’t be fooled by social media.
