As we come in contact and are exposed to the consumerism of AI and any social media outlet I propose that with fewer negative impacts, young people might develop healthier self-esteem and emotional regulation skills as well as people could experience fewer feelings of Anxiety, jealousy, or loneliness which is just a base line to the steps of suicide. The impact that follows this proposition will lead to a healthier lifestyle for American teenagers and in return the vast rates of suicide will decrease. The Impact of helping the situation at hand would likely lead to a more compassionate, supportive, and healthier society, both online and offline. Lastly with the power to a healthier online culture it gives an opportunity to have a ripple effect on future generations, leading to more responsible social media use and better mental health habits.
