I felt like I was negatively impacted just because I would be self conscious about likes I would receive and how many friends/followers I had.

There was no form of social media literacy taught to me in school before college. I think the next generation should be educated on this as soon as possible because many young people start using technology at a very young age.

Because in school there wasn't much of social media literacy, schools need to address the pros and cons of social media to kids in all school levels - Christina

In middle school I used facebook, In high school I used twitter and snapchat. I think that there were some negatives to social media back then but for the most part it was positive.

# data[].attributes.body
Some positive behaviors using social media was maybe an outlet to be involved and to see what everyone was doing, and if you related, it was nice to make new friendships through them. Some negatives that come with social media is that it could be too overwhelming at times, a lot time things can be misinterpreted and can cause a lot chaos, especially in high school.

# data[].attributes.body
The social media platforms I utilized was mostly instagram & snapchat. I think there were some negative influences from social media such as feeling insecure from beauty standards on social media or seeing other peers posting negative influences (i.e.: smoking). On the more positive side, others promoted encouraging messages.

Chris B: I believe there was hardly any form of social media literacy taught to me before college. This can be addressed to the next generation by educating on safety on social media and educate them on how social media may possibly effect them

In high school we had specialists, but we weren’t publicly given the opportunity to talk to them. Other than that, I can’t recall there being any emotional wellness programs from elementary to highschool. In college, I learned that there are many emotional wellness programs and I think if we can provide the same opportunities to elementary to high school students, that would be great. - Kalei Y.

Previous to college years I was never really taught any sort of 'social media literacy'. I think one way to incorporate this type of knowledge to future generations is actually being open to discuss during class time in high school. Cyberbullying was the closest topic discusses in regards to social media so expanding on that message and providing a deeper understanding of how social media works both in professional and social contexts.

I used Instagram and Snapchat heavily in middle school and high school. Personally I don't think it really affected me as much as it does now. If anything it positively affected me because it connected me more with my friends.

# data[].attributes.body
In high school I utilized snapchat I would say I had a positive influence because it was one way to communicate with my friends and stay in the loop with everything. And as I got older I got Instagram and it was positive for the most part, but at the time it could be negative because seeing other people's lives can cause you to start comparing yourself to other, which is hard.

The next generation should be educated and taught more in school about social media literacy. So they could be aware of what they are going through and I think parents could start educating them as everything could start at home. Also, peers would be a big impact in learning from each other. - Dana

I used Kik, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.  I would often times compare myself to my peers and seeing who is more popular at the time. This was negative at the time because my peers and I would often compete for the most internet presence.

It can greatly effect one's mental health as social media is prone to show a perfect view of life rather than a realistic one.

slightly in high school but it was not a big thing that everyone knew about. We can improve current resources by making it known and accessible to everyone.

I was not taught "social media literacy" in school before college. I think a way we can address this to the next generation of young people is having a discussion about cyberbullying and how to responsibly use social media to protect personal information. Another thing to address is how to balance usage of social media and time outside of social media like getting exercise.

People who use social media too frequently compare their life to others. Comparison can cause low self esteem leading to mental health issues.

Addressing emotional wellness was something I only observed from HS onwards, and this was really only through conversations or teachers reaching out individually. I do believe there may have been programs provided by the school via the student centers for success, but it wasn't heavily advertised. I think normalizing conversation about these issues would definitely would make a difference in making these resources more accesible.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think there was any form of "social media literacy" taught to me in school before college. A possible way of addressing this for the next generation of young people is to educate them on how social media can affect their health (physically, psychologically, socially, etc.), how they can reduce time on social media, how they sometimes must be skeptical of the things they see on social media, how they can fact check the information they find, etc. I think that we can teach about determining trustworthy sources of information as soon as an individual starts using technology and social media because it is never too early to be safe/cautious online. It also depends on how old the individual is to decide what ways we should teach them about determining trustworthy sources of information because different methods can appeal to different age groups.

Throughout my four years in high school, there was a club founded on campus known as The Bulldog Project. This club advocated for anti-bullying and for the overall wellness of the student population on campus. As a sophomore in high school, I decided to join the club and soon became the president during my senior year. This experience taught me how to deal with my own emotional situations, while also helping my peers with their emotional wellness. I believe that social media is a great platform to utilize when trying to spread awareness or make resources more well-known/accessible. In addition, establishing a good following and spreading the right message can help in many beneficial ways.

I know in my school districts, we placed a great importance on emotional wellness for students  throughout K-12. They all provided programs and training for teachers in order to address student wellness. By talking to any teacher or supervisor, they would all have the resources to find help and get assistance. Some ways we can improve the resources is allowing students to be checked up on as a follow up in order to help in bettering their emotional wellness consistently.

Yes in college I became aware of programs and counseling to address students who needed help. I did/do know how to access the resources. I think the ability to seek counseling through tele-health has given people more comfort in seeking help with less embarrassment or hesitation. I did not know of any programs before college, but I think there should be more mental health resources for high school and even younger kids.

You have these unrealistic standards of what your life should be like when in reality it is not like what you see in the pictures. That can negatively affect ones mental health because you are constantly comparing yourself to others.

I was not aware of any programs to help address emotional wellness up until college. At SJSU, I know of CAPS and I know how to schedule an appointment with them. The ways to improve resources that currently exist is to continually talk about them/promote them because I think a lot of students may be unaware that they exist

I personally wasn't really aware of any programs at school that address emotional wellness until I came to college. I learned how to get connected through different professors, checking my email, as well as walking down 7th street. I think that it is important to bring more awareness to emotional wellness programs to elementary and middle schools since they are also at an age where emotional health can be fragile.

I utilized Snapchat a lot during middle school and high school. There was a lot of negative impact from social media because people would compare themselves to others a lot in social media as well as bully. Many people would also post bad behaviors such as smoking and drinking which would influence their audience to want to do the same.
