Do you believe social media is bad for the mental health of people?

[Anonymous]

I do because

1. When people see pictures of other people having a better life than them it can make them feel bad

2. When people see pictures of other people who are more physically attractive than them it can make them feel bad

3. Cyberbullying. People often refer to people who cyber bully others as “keyboard warriors.”

4. Scams.

Luckily using social media is a choice though and It’s not mandatory to sign up to any social media website.
To the people who may of already sign up or created an account to the best of my knowledge every social media website gives people the choice to deactivate or delete their account

It is unhealthy, but only in excess. In moderation, and with a deft eye for the advertising/scam community at large, as well as the knowledge to know how to tailor one’s experiences, you’re fine.

Most defiantly sometimes I do, depending on what they're going through at the time. If somebody's being bullied and they're online and seeing everything that's going to make their mental state even worse.

It's been bad for my mental health and social life. But it isn't going away. :(

It makes it worse if you are already mentally vulnerable

Yes, especially young people whose brains are not fully formed.
