Based on a 1-week experiment with 1,095 participants in late 2015 in Denmark, this study provides causal evidence that Facebook use affects our well-being negatively.
- This article disagree's with the statement that Social Media helps personal Well-Being, it seems to be a reliable article with lots keywords and a reliable study with a large research group.

In a poll by the charity Girlguiding, 35% of girls aged 11-21 
said their biggest worry online was comparing themselves to others.
We asked a group of young people to share their views on this.

Now, of course, those are all things we do alone while plugged in to a computer. Beyond the punchline, is there some truth in the assumption that despite our hyper-connectedness, we are potentially more isolated than ever? ]]> 2017-10-26 13:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mikeprince/WELLBEING_GP04/wish/200809419 Moderate use of social media 'builds resilience and wellbeing in young people', report suggests mjt_taylor18 https://padlet.com/mikeprince/WELLBEING_GP04/wish/200811012 Engagement in social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook can build up children’s resilience and have a beneficial impact on mental wellbeing, an extensive new study suggests, despite previous warnings to the contrary.]]> 2017-10-26 13:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mikeprince/WELLBEING_GP04/wish/200811012 Facebook and Twitter 'harm young people's mental health' sylwiapozniak https://padlet.com/mikeprince/WELLBEING_GP04/wish/200813099 "The findings follow growing concern among politicians, health bodies, doctors, charities and parents about young people suffering harm as a result of sexting, cyberbullying and social media reinforcing feelings of self-loathing and even the risk of them committing suicide. 
“It’s interesting to see Instagram and Snapchat ranking as the worst for mental health and wellbeing. Both platforms are very image-focused and it appears that they may be driving feelings of inadequacy and anxiety in young people,” said Shirley Cramer, chief executive of the Royal Society for Public Health, which undertook the survey with the Young Health Movement." This article seems reliable as it explains what harms the social media can do to young people.

Dr Heather Cleland Woods said her study had found that children as young as 11 were on Facebook and Twitter and using them considerably. Some pupils at the Glasgow school were using multiple devices -- a phone and a tablet for example -- to view multiple sites simultaneously and were on them "into the early hours of the morning". 
She continued: "While overall social media use impacts on sleep quality, those who log on at night appear to be particularly affected. This may be mostly true of individuals who are highly emotionally invested. This means we have to think about how our kids use social media, in relation to time for switching off."
