I believe social networks have clearly a negative effect on our mental health. People often compare themselves to others on social media, and this can cause feelings of inadequacy and insecurities. Seeing others' reels, filtered and edited photos, and achievements may create unrealistic expectations, and make people feel that their own lives are not enough.

What do you think?

"I think so because we spend so much time on social media that we can't distinguish between reality and virtual life. We see everyone doing things we all want to do, and we start doing the same even if it affects us negatively."

Yes and as you and Victoria said, the networks are made to talk to. family and for important things but now they are being used for the complete opposite, I can tell you that there are people who use them for that but the majority of people use them for very bad things, humiliating people etc. But there are also people who you use them for studies and things

I think that social networks are good but bad at the same time. Since you can benefit from world news, meet new people, etc. But it can also bring you conflicts, bad moments, even self-doubt, which is why I think it has to be allowed but with a certain limit and with great care.
