Hello there! Here you will find the research & statistics. Services, social media companies, interviews and many other helpful & useful information. I personally believe its important to raise awareness of this problem as people such as young people have lost their lives because of social media. Social media can have a negative effect on the mental health as it can create cyberbullying, spreading of misinformation, being addicted to the apps. The decline of face to face communication, being exposed to harmful & inappropriate content. It can create self esteem issues, social isolation, cyber stalking and harassment. A decrease in privacy, and comparison and envy. These are the main reasons why social media can have a negative impact on the mental health on young people. Here on this website I talk about mainly about the Molly Rose Story. This is about a young girl named Molly Russell who was 14 years old took her own life because she was exposed to harmful content on instagram. Her father Ian Russell made a campaign to win against the social media companies in court and to bring justice for his daughter Molly Russell. He wanted to raise awareness to the public about the hidden dangers of social media. He believes his daughter will still be here today if it wasn’t for social media.
