The article mentioned it’s mostly young people dealing with this. As a young person myself I see everyone from teenagers to people in their 30s glued to their phones any time I’m outside.

Constantly engrossing yourself in that misery mill doesn’t help. We already know social media is harmful. The article also mentions illicit drugs and other things. Idk much about those but that is also not good but probably less prevalent than social media use.

Most people I know around my age 20s and 30s that do not engage much with social media are happier than my friends who live mostly online and are always depressed. I get it they want to get away from life but life is all we have.

Sorry just rambling now. I’m pretty sure I’m not wrong when I say that putting down social media and going outside would do wonders for other young people.
