"Facebook does not help you in getting any success at all."

Young people often define 'success' basically in terms of popularity and social acceptance.

And FB/Instagram is the basis for that now, in many ways.

I think there's always been considerable pressure upon young people to 'get along' & 'have friends' i.e. in a time before they 'know who they are' - this is a serious issue for kids I think.

And even into one's 20's these days, it seems everyone is 'building their personal brand' and some may find it hard to simply opt out.

I'm glad I hit 30 by the time this inanity started, I think it's an age wherein we start to take control of our identities.
