The first step to help your social media wellness would be to unadd people that are always posting in high end places or are popular. these people might make you jealous and not worth as much. Second, I would limit my time talking to people online and to actually go out and see the person (post COVID)

A lot of the people on social media like posting what is called their "highlight reel" whitch is when they are at the best points in their life and it makes people think that there not good enough

# data[].attributes.body
People tend to follow their favourite celebrities or influencers that are doing good in life and swimming in money. They will post themselves traveling and staying at the fanciest places eating gourmet food and people become jelous because they end up thinking that they are worthless.

Heavy social media use is horrible to your mental health because if you feel phantom vibration symptom, it shows that you are highly addicted to your phon and your brain is trying to get you to look at your phone because of its addiction.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that social media makes people less social because when you talk to people online, you tend to talk more about yourself meaning that you won't be really have a proper conversation with the person because you will just be talking about yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
One point made by the group is that they don’t feel comfortable telling people how they feel. I don’t agree with this at all, I think if you really need to tell people what you are feeling, nobody's holding you back. The only person who truly stops you from doing something is yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
The first step to improve social media wellness is to protect yourself. Online, I’ve seen a lot of people try and take others information and possibly steal from people. That’s why online, you should always know how to stop a possible hacker, because if you don’t, it could be a lot more than your mental health that will be ruined.

The second step is to know who you're talking to. Online, people scam and take from others, that’s why it always good to know who you're speaking with. If you don’t know the person you're talking to in real life, limit the conversation in order to protect yourself and possibly others.

1.       2 steps that I would are The IDC (I do not care) and Spend less time. I added those because who cares what other people think, At the end of the day their bad guys because there judging you. Also, you get cyber- bullied because you spend too much time up there and you post too much of your opinion, whatever you say now a days can go against you because we live in such a sensitive world were everything you say can get you in trouble.

# data[].attributes.body
1.       I agree that people post there highlight reels because that is when there looking there best, and they think that there a one up from others.

# data[].attributes.body
The stressor called the “Highlight Reel” was explained very well and I mostly agree with it. Others see the highlights of other people’s lives and wonder why they aren’t doing something like that. This causes the person looking at the post to feel depressed, and wish they were the one in the photo or video. The part I don’t agree with is that the person is left feeling depressed and does nothing about it. I often saw highlights of other people after accomplishing something, and instead of depressingly sitting there and doing nothing, I decided I was going to do something about it so that I could be just as happy as them. I’m talking about school grades though, I’m realistic and know that I can’t become a multimillionaire celebrity just for trying to become one. For the people who look at the celebrity highlights and feel saddened, they need to understand that the celebrities their looking at are few among the billions of people in this world, and if they can’t see that, that’s when the depression turns into a full-blown mental issue.

# data[].attributes.body
1.       This Happens because people are comparing themselves to others so then they try to do better than them and beat them, but they do not so then they get depressed.

1.       Phantom brain syndrome is not good for you because its like your phone is connected to your brain and that is not healthy for the human body.

I think that social media makes people more social because some people are not very talkative face to face but online its easier for those people. As the video said the screen like gives these

Social media side effects such as anxiety, depression, and stress, happen more frequently when social media time increases. This is the same case if you give someone suffering from a drug addiction more drugs, it makes the person even more addicted and makes their addiction even worse. Giving the people more time to spend on what gives them issues just makes the situation worse.

# data[].attributes.body
Issues such as “phantom vibration syndrome” are bad for your mental health because they show that there is an addiction to social media. This is obviously a sign that the person suffering from this needs help.

# data[].attributes.body
Online harassment is a full blown mental health issue for everyone including LGBTQ and Racism. Tyler Clementi who took his life because of his room mate for exposing him through social media. This is a big problem to society for anyone who is very sensitive that they would even take their own life just to end it.

# data[].attributes.body
6.  I agree with what say because most of its true a lot of kids during parties will do out of the ordinary things like drugs and drinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I think social media apps make people less social, this is because people on social media either prefer talking online and choose not to talk in person, or have used social media so much that they have lost most of their abilities to speak to others in person.

# data[].attributes.body
Frustrating and Confusing: I agree with this statement because you experience a lot of new things while going through adolescence. Most of these cases are in which you don’t know what to do or it feels weird and somewhat annoying. It is also frustrating and confusing because of peer pressure. I can understand where they are coming from because I personally have been in scenarios where I feel pressure having to do something that I don’t want to do, mostly because I know it’s not the right thing to do.

# data[].attributes.body
5.  Cyber bulling this is a very big topic with teenagers my age we tend to pick on kids who have disabilities or things that they cant change like there looks. Commenting this is also a big thing kids/ teens like to comment things that can be hurtful or nice.

# data[].attributes.body
Monitor your time on social media: Monitoring your time on social media helps you worry less about your phone and you have time to focus on other things.

Don’t post anything on social media: Having the need and worry to post something is what makes social media affect your everyday life. By not posting anything and just looking, it will not affect you as much.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the guy that said you will like get judged if you say your going to your friends house to sleepover and evryones like what are you gonna do there i agree with because this happened to me before and my buddies like were just going over to chill play some fifa like you know but people think differently.

# data[].attributes.body
My two steps are to take a break from it and the second one is talk to someone about the problem. These two might improve people's wellness because taking a break could make you forget and help you better/focus on yourself. Talking to someone could also help because you could tell them your problem and they will understand and try to help you out which might make you feel better after talking to them

# data[].attributes.body
5th: Spread awareness about this, this will help to people to find step 1 like you did
6th: Try to go outside more, this is going to make sure you stay healthy and you will also have less screen time

Highlight Reel: I agree with her explanation on how it has potential to become a mental health issue because social media apps are designed to show popular and recent posts from other people to keep you interested in looking at posts from others. This can easily become an addiction.

# data[].attributes.body
4.  I think that when she talks about the highlight reels it explains a lot on how people act on social media. I agree with her explanation because its true we care a lot about how many likes or views we get online and if it didn't do good we would remove it.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the points one of the boys said was that people think its weird if boys have a sleepover and I agree with his point.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One of the points made was peer pressure. I think peer pressure exists and it could be a very serious problem especially when it's something bad. People could be forcing you to do something and you might feel like if you don't do it, you’re not accepted in the group. Personally I haven't had an experience like that but it does happen to many people.

# data[].attributes.body
Spend less time on social media and don't post

# data[].attributes.body
I agreed with peer pressure at parties. I think this is true, because, having heard some of my friends who have been to parties tell stories before, I was able to connect some of the things they said, with what the teens in this video were talking about; smoking (examples: vape, weed, or something else), and drinking.

# data[].attributes.body
Highlight Reels: I agree with her highlight reels are when we post our victories in our lives, and we compare ourselves to everyone else highlight reels which is a big problem in our everyday lives

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the highlight reel because i agree with her she says “we struggle with insecurity because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel” this is true people on social media just compare themselves to other people for example i use social media and one time i was scrolling and im like why can't i do that that's so cool. Some people get so attached to stuff on social media that if you dont check on them it could result to really bad things like depressions, anxiety, stress and even suicide.

# data[].attributes.body
One step would be to just shut off your device if you’re receiving hate. The other step would be to try and take breaks from your phone and social media from time to time.

# data[].attributes.body
The point I disagree is when they only talk to their mom about their problems because dads can also understand and help you through it just like their moms. I can relate to it because when I was much younger, I did the same but now I tell both of them and they both help me in different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this happens because people think there is a certain way you have to be and if not they shame themselves which does cause anxiety, stress and depression. People are also addicted to social media which means if you take it away from them or they try to go without it they can get stressed and anxious.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 6:

Response: One point that they mentioned inside the video that I strongly agree with is the fact that boys are pressured in society to be the “toughies.” Us teenage boys have an invisible standard to be the best we can. We also get a lot of questions when we get close with other people. Boys also have to hide their emotions constantly. When we show our emotions we are looked down at or we are looked at as weak. I can see where they are coming from personally from when I was a child especially. When I was a child, I didn’t hang out with other boys as much as I did with girls. This led to people getting mad at me since I was talking to the girls. I didn’t mean to do this, I just wanted to talk to people who were nice but the boys weren’t. Another thing is that when I was in kindergarten, I cried when I got hurt. Some of the people were coming up and asking me if I was okay but I remember that there were this group of boys laughing at me and calling me weak. This didn’t affect me because I don’t care but it goes to show that boys do have standards that you may not see at eye.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this happens because people wonder and worry a lot about their social media to the point where it is affecting their daily lives and it becomes an illness / addiction.

# data[].attributes.body
To improve social media wellness we need to: 1. When needed try to manage your time online to help reduce negative effects. 2. Try not to compare yourself with others to try and avoid any sort of negativity (towards yourself).

# data[].attributes.body
Highlight, social currency, fear of missing out and online harassment. Online harassment has the potential of being a full blow mental health issue because when having people attack you online or having people put things up online about you that you don't want up can cause serious stress on you,

# data[].attributes.body
3.  I think this happens because they want to get there mind off bad things and free themselves by looking at memes on Instagram or just scrolling through trying to find something that can get your mind off things.

PEER PRESSURE AT PARTIES :The teens state that they feel like they are getting peer pressured by certain individuals to smoke, drink,and take pills while they are partying. I agree with their statements because although i have never been at a party, I've heard a lot of stories about similar situations from friends and family. I can understand where they are coming from because I've experienced similar situations but not at parties.

Online Harassment - I do agree with her explanation on how online harassment has the potential to become a full blown mental health issue. This is because she states that this could potentially be the worst stressors on social media and later backs her statement with solid facts. For example, 40% offline adults have experienced online harassment, 73% have witnessed online harassment, and 100 % of the time, it is worse if you are female, LGBTQ, and or a person of colour.

Question 5:

Response: Two other steps that I would add to her list that I think would improve other people’s social media wellness are you can’t unsend the message and at the end of the day, the best version of yourself, is the real you. These 2 steps would definitely help in people’s media wellness because some people don’t think before they post something. They don’t know that it will never get deleted no matter what it says. This can help because people will be avoiding causing issues for themselves online. Also, the best version of yourself is the real you helps a lot because there are a lot of backseeted comments that others make towards other people. If you let the bad comments get disregarded, you will be a more confident person, and you will know that you are the best you can be. This will not let anyone else bother you too.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 5 do not ruin other people’s experience. Step 6 have a healthy relationship with anyone using the same media. The steps can improve people’s social media wellness by not having people create any stressors on you and have you enjoyed it with people.

Heavy social media use issues, such as “phantom vibration syndrome”, are bad for your mental health because your brain never gets a chance to rest because it is always thinking about what is happening on your phone.

Online harassment I agree with her explanation as she said it has caused people to kill them selves over it. (I have not experienced that)

# data[].attributes.body
Because it almost like rewiring your nervous system and haves you always focused on you phone

2.  This can be really bad for mental health because its damaging are nervous system and its making us think that your mobile device is buzzing. This has never happened to me so I wouldn't know how this feels.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the kids talked about how people are always peer pressured to do stuff like smoking, drink alcohol, do drugs, etc. I personally agree with how he said that they have to deal with people forcing them to do it because I can relate to them. People have asked me to do things that I didn’t want to do and I related to that.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with the guy’s boys sleeping over part. I understand where there coming from, that people think there something going on, but if they know that your close friends they will understand. When I was going to a huge sleepover with 2 other friends some of the boys wished they could come instead of saying “Oh something else my happen” if you know what I mean. Deep down if someone say that they don’t mean it they know you’re going to have fun with the boys.

# data[].attributes.body
1. My first added step would be to find something else either than social media rather than using it. It can help because maybe if you have a passion for art and you want to show it off to everyone, you don’t have to. Just because you want to get other people’s acceptance for you to feel better about yourself does not make it better. My next step is to reflect on your day after without social media. “Do I feel better without it?” “How much has it changed me?”. By reflecting, you recognized the problem and you are acting on it. It helps with wellness because you are spending less time being less productive, and actually doing something productive and trying to work on the problem.

# data[].attributes.body
One step would be Appreciate Yourself and Others- when someone post some be happy for them appreciate their sharing things about themselves. Then appreciate yourself as you are also sharing things about yourself. Second would be to live a little- do not spend all day on your phone do some activities while doing that invite friends and family so you can bond together more

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with her explanation of online harassment, and I also believe it has the potential to become a full blown mental health issue because, for example, as said in the video, 40% of adults have experienced online harassment, 73% have witnessed it before, and 100% of the time, it is worse if you are a female, LGBTQ, and or a person of colour.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I chose “Highlight Reel” as my stressor. I agree with her explanation, and how it can become a mental health issue. In her presentation, she says how she’s constantly comparing herself to her friend’s when they post about something. “Why is she at the beach and I’m at home?” As someone who also compares themselves to others, I can say this is true. A lot of people will try and compare themselves to others because we want what they have. That can lead to a mental health issue like depression because you are constantly comparing, and not striving to achieve that goal.

# data[].attributes.body
When the speaker says fear of missing out (F.O.M.O), I agree. This is a mental health care issue because you brain is constantly worrying about where you fit in what I missed and more. This causes you to go back to social media and become addicted. An example is one of my friends had a birthday party and did not invite me, but the people he invited kept posting what they were doing making look at each post coming back each time to see what I missed or do I still fit in that group. She said a “collection of university conducted research that 7/10 students would get rid of their social media counts if it weren’t for the fear of being left Out the loop”

# data[].attributes.body
The statement I agree with is the one that talks about talking to girls and saying or showing how I feel. I have had experiences like that, and I can understand where he is coming from because when you want to do that you become very nervous, shy, and you could feel embarrassed depending on how it ends up. Sometimes you could be pressured to talk to and share your feeling with a girl so that’s why it’s very hard to do and it’s a thing which not everyone can do successfully.

# data[].attributes.body
I think anxiety, depression, and stress all increase in a population as their social media use increases, because of the 4 stressors on social media: Highlight reel: meaning we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel; Social currency: meaning in social media, we are the product; Fear of missing out (F.O.M.O): meaning social anxiety, which is the fear of being judged negatively by other people; Online harassment: harassing someone online because of their appearance, beliefs, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Anxiety, depression, and stress are caused by social media sometimes because they get harassed and bullied,

# data[].attributes.body
1. I feel like anxiety, depression, and stress all increase in population as their social media use increases because when you use social media more, your time management skills become worse. The longer you are on social media for, the more time you could have done things decreases. A lot of students specifically are stressed because of social media. You have less time to do homework because of social media, you study less for the upcoming test because you procrastinate by going on social media. Stress leads to anxiety, which can make you depressed.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 4:

Response: Highlight reels. I personally 100% agree with the explanation of how these stressors have become a full blown mental issue on people daily. Highlight reels show the good part about people's life which either makes you get jealous or try to put your standard of life up. In the ted talk, she talked about how people might think “Wow their life is amazing, my life is so garbage, im so unlucky.” This will have a very negative effect on people. For me it was different, when I used to be overweight, I would go on social media and see a bunch of people that were fit and toned. This led to me working out and getting closer and closer to the body I desired. This also improved my health drastically. This may not be the case for everyone though.

1.      One teen said that being a teen is now confusing and I agree with that. Nowadays, everything can be posted on social media and everything is now a sensitive topic, like saying a joke can be offensive ya, but I’m not being mean on purpose it’s a joke. Everything to do with cancel culture can be very stupid sometimes and I have to be careful with what I say now because I might offend someone by accident. I think it’s very confusing because I can’t completely be myself, because I have to be careful to not offend anyone.

1.      I think keeping your social media feed exclusive to the things you want to see can help social media wellness. By only following you favourite sports teams or friends and staying away from everything else can help avoid negativity or things you might not want to see. Secondly, I think taking scheduled brakes from social media can also help. For example, every 2 days you stay away from all social media so you can reset your mind and well being.

# data[].attributes.body
1.      I agree that the highlight reel stressor can become of full-blown mental issue. I, like many others, compare myself to what others are doing and wish I could do the same or have similar highlights. However I sometimes make myself feel bad or feel less because I compared myself with someone else.

# data[].attributes.body
Avoid using social media before bed - How this step can improve people’s social media wellness is because going on social media before you sleep can affect your sleeping  since you would get so addicted at night that you will use it for longer then you should have and you will get less sleep and feel tired the next day. So if you avoid using social media at night it will help you rest better.

Take a break - Taking a break from social media is important because it takes your midn away from all the posts and negative things you have seen on social media.  Since social media can cause like depression, anxiety, etc, it’s really important to focus on yourself and life and what your goal in life is.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the points stated in the video is pressure, I agree with this point because pressure is very prominent among teens. A lot of the time, teens like to pressure each other into doing things. Most of the time it’s just for fun and games, but sometimes they can pressure you into something you really don’t want to do. teens like to test and pressure each other into doing things because they want you to be like them. Since people like to hang out with other people who have the same interests as them, it makes sense that they would pressure someone new into doing those things as well.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I agree with her about social currency. Many people post things hoping it will get tons and views and likes and if it doesn't, they usually question it and get upset. This can be a full blown mental health issue because when you post it, you become stressed out hoping it gets a bunch of views and likes and when it doesn’t, you get upset.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that social media makes people more sociable online but less sociable in person because they rather talk online now.

The anxiety, depression, and stress increases as you use social media because there are a lot of things on the internet that makes people think different and are expected to do stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
I think social media apps make people less social because people who use these apps are not physically interacting with another person face-to-face. By using these apps all the time, people lose their communication skills because they are always using a device to talk to other people.

# data[].attributes.body
I think social media apps make you more social because in the video it said partners tend to like each other more if they meet for the first time online this is because people are more anonymous or more clear on their future goals.

# data[].attributes.body
One point I agree with strongly is what the guy said at 1:33 in the video “yeah you're pressured”. I understand where he is coming from as it’s always there from other people and there is really no way to fully avoid it. I’ve been at many parties throughout my life and there was regularly  pressure to do something that wasn't right. You have to learn to deal with it well or you will fall into a “trap”. Each situation is different but that's why having a strong mindset is so important.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 3:

Response: I think it is because social media has such a high amount of time consuming efforts that you can use on other things. Something like that will definitely impact your social life. I think it mainly affects people because the standards on social media are so high and also people have to do a lot on social media to keep it. It can be stressing on a person which can lead to anxiety problems or depression.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this happens because when people start posting more and more, they get sad and stressed out when they don't get enough likes, or when someone makes fun of them.

# data[].attributes.body
a.) Support Others: When you support others who also have problems with social media, you not only help them, but you also help yourself. By helping someone to have a better experience in social media, you feel good about yourself for doing a good thing.

b.) Stop The Hate: There will always be one or two haters on social media, but at least trying to make the experience better is worth it. When you encounter a hater or bad post, try to correct them, and if they don’t stop, report them. Reporting them for bad behavior online will get their accounts banned, improving everyone's experience, even by just a bit.

# data[].attributes.body
Two more steps that I would add are don’t get too drawn in and limit what you show. My first step would improve people’s social media wellness as they would not be addicted to social media apps as they have control. The second step would also be very beneficial to improve people’s social media wellness as people can tend to expose themselves to much about what they do during the day and in general which can lead to them getting judged. If they limit what they post this can easily be avoided.

Phantom vibration syndrome is bad for your mental health because it kind of shows that you always have your phone with you at all times and you can’t leave it alone. People may think they aren’t addicted to their phone but then actually have phantom vibration syndrome. Having this is bad for your mental health because being attached to your phone can cause depression and loneliness.

I believe that social media apps make people more social because while 30-40 percent of face-to-face conversations involve communicating our own experiences, around 80 percent of social media communication is self-involved. This means that people are more comfortable to express their thoughts and feelings behind their screen rather than in real life, this makes certain individuals more social. An example of this can be seen through our COVID-19 situation that is going on all over the world. Since we are unable to see others in person in relation to the hard core restrictions put out by our governments, social media is the only way we can communicate with one another without breaking these rules.

One of the stressors which I agree could become a full blown mental health  issue is F.O.M.O. Why I think that is because F.O.M.O is when you get a social anxiety and are missing the fear of connection, event, or opportunity. A collection of Canadian Universities found that 7/10 students said they would get rid of their social networking accounts if it were not for fear of being left out of the loop. My own experience is that whenever I would be on social media and I see my friends talking about something I always want to include myself because I want to know what they are  talking about, and what they are going to do or what we could talk about and make plans to go out or get on a game to play together. Another experience of mine is when all my friends are on a game and I’m not on probably because I can’t play at the moment but I never want to miss what they are going to play or when they ask me to play I feel like I have to get on so that we could all have a fun time and play something. That’s something I have struggled with a little bit but I feel like I am now controlling that well.

1. I think social media apps make people more social. In the video he mentions that social media creates white matter that produce attrition. On social media many people want to be known or gain more followers, so they share a lot of things about themselves. This was me when I got Instagram. I did not really talk to people at first in school but wanted  to be known on social media I shred things about myself such as thigs I wear and eat to gain attention, which gave me pleasure.

1.      I believe that social media apps make people less social. Because of social media, we lose the need to make face to face confrontations as much as we used to.

Why I think that anxiety, depression, and stress all increase in a population as their social media use increases is because basically it is basically saying that almost every person that would use any type of social media and, also people that are new to it or joining the social media community what all that is basically doing or saying is that every time someone uses social media that’s either giving someone anxiety, depression, or stress, or if you already have it it will increase and which ever one you have could get worse everytime you use social media. And also for new people getting added to the population it;s basically like they join the population and they get either anxiety, depression, or stress.

Question 2:

Response: The reason that “phantom vibration syndrome” is bad for our mental health is because it triggers our brain in a way it does not before so it interferes with a lot of things and makes us get distracted a lot which can lead to other issues.

1. It can be bad for your mental health because it can cause unwanted stress and makes you think you got a notification or someone texted you but you didn't.

The stressor I am choosing is the “Highlight Reel”. In my opinion I one hundred percent agree with her explanation and the statements she said. One of the things she said was “We are constantly comparing ourselves to others'', this is what I think has the biggest potential to become a full blown mental health issue. People do it everyday and it has a lot of impacts. I remember when me and my friends used to follow this one influencer and we bought a lot of things that we now realize were useless purchases but we bought the things anyway just because they had it. Additionally, another reason why it’s a major problem is because people go as far as changing what they do everyday as a result of viewing other people’s highlight reels.

Highlight Reels: In the video, the speaker states that, “social media is our personal highlight reel, it’s where we put up our wins.” But when we look at others' highlight reels, we start to compare ourselves to them. And as we see only the best parts about themselves, we notice only our flaws and bad parts. We see only the negative parts of ourselves and we start to feel insecure and feel as if we aren’t good enough. This kind of negative thinking can ruin someone's self-esteem and make them feel insecure, leading to anxiety and possibly depression.

As a person who was once on social media several hours each day I could see how attached everyone was including me. If a person’s mindset is not strong enough these effects can develop easily. People start to really worry about what others think about them and try to “belong” which causes high levels of anxiety and stress. In addition, people see influencers who live in “perfect” lives and have a lot of nice things. This can make people feel increased levels of depression thinking their lives are not good enough.

It causes you to hallucinate or feel things that you should not feel because you are depended on the vibration to be a message of notification from your phone.

I think it’s bad for you because its like a drug and  phantom vibration syndrome could effect you by making you check you phone every single second and making it so you sit on your phone for even longer

1. I would say that social media makes people more social. In the video, the narrator talks about how when people talk about themselves, they release dopamine, making them want to talk about themselves more. As someone who posts videos about themselves on social media, I can say that this is true. I tend to post videos about myself and when I see that people enjoy the stuff I post, I feel better.

This is bad for your mental health because now people's brains are getting triggered in a way they never have before. As stated in the video "phantom vibration syndrome" can even cause people to perceive an itch as an actual vibration. In addition, this can really become a major distraction in people’s daily lives which can cause other problems.
