Different Types of Social Media

The affects on your Health

Brain

Social media expects you to have a certain image you have to keep up. That image might not be good for you or that image might not be the real you. The public wants to see something interesting and if you don't live up to it you will be harassed. Also, you have to have a certain body shape to look "good" on social media. You have to have the desired body type to get attention and if you don't you might get bullied or ignored by all. This will make your self-esteem go down enormously and you will lose your identity. This fits into my idea that celebrities or famous social media people have to keep a certain image to keep being famous. They have to be relevant to the public because if you are not interested then you are irrelevant. There is also a lot of body shaming on social media because of the many different types of bodies. However, that is decreasing because people now don't want a more skinny body but want a more curvy body. People should be proud of their body type and every woman should build up each other not tear each other down by body shaming. l

Body

Social Media affects your body by making you gain or lose weight sometimes because of the addiction to using social media all the time. People are less active and are not worried about their health but instead worried about how many likes they got on an Instagram picture. You also might get body conscience which might make you do stuff to your body that you don't want to do. Some people get disorders because they want to be skinny such as bulimia.

Children are affected by social media as much as everyone else. Children these days have social media and that is not good. Little kids are expected to keep up an image at such a young age and that will affect them when they mature. It is not good for their health and mind. Some parents make social media for their kids. Kids should not be having social media because they are not mature enough and there are many dangerous people on the internet that would take advantage of them

Teenagers

Teenagers

Teenagers are the most affected by social media. teenagers used social media for good things such as connecting to old friends. Also, a lot of teens use it to find new friends and update their friends of their daily life. Social media affects teenagers and their educations by making them not focus on their education and their future. Teenagers get bullied online all the time and that causes teen depression. There are good and bad effects on teenagers by social media, people just need to be careful because there are dangerous people out there.

Adults use social media as much as teenagers. Adults use it to reconnect with family members and old friends. Some adults turn into teens because of social media. They post inappropriate thing and that affects their future. Adults may get depressed because of all the young social media influencers and they realize they are getting old. It also affects adults health because if they are not active and are using social media 24/7, then that would be bad for their health.
