The depression rate of teens has been recorded at 20%, this is correlated with increased use and duration of social media along with perception of isolation. The lowered rate of face-to-face conversation has caused a social epidemic. The skills needed to understand that the foundation of social media is addictive is not taught to youth now because there is a disliking of teenagers. Many older people believe that the younger generation are no good lazy and inexperienced.
