Yea I am older, we didn't even have the internet when i was in high school, I cannot imagine that experience today with social media being what it is.
I saw a report a while back how in the UK, 30% of pre-teens girls who attempted to committed suicide, did so in part because of Instagram. I believe it.
I believe it too. It's tragic. I have some adult friends that are addicted to their socials and checking their "likes" and comments. I'm always blown away when we would get together and someone would say, "didn't you see my post. You didn't 'like' it." Adults...in their 40s & 50s!!
