Notes

Bailey Parnell spoke at TEDxRyersonU in February 2017. She was talking on the subject of “Is Social Media Hurting Your Mental Health?” she was able to understand the impact of social media when doing research about it. She opens with an inner dialogue of scrolling through social media to show the toxic thought process, bailey parnell says, our growing and unchecked obsession with social media has unintended long term consequences on our mental health, because we spend more than 2 hours on social media without eating anything. abstinence is becoming less of an option. She closes by saying that social media is not good or bad. It is just “the most recent tool to do what we have always done”. That in fact, social media isn’t bad but that it only brings out “the dark side of people”.

A lot of people using social media, but there are many users of social media that they don't think about the effect it has on their mental health, because they don't know the effects it has on them. Others think that when you post on social media and get a lot of likes, they think that they are an influence, and this is the truth. many people are posting of your old pics ,they are posting them your old picture without your permission, why are they posting them, because they say your face is funny,many people do this because they know it's fine with you, because you're friends. but what they don't know is that this is one of the things that causes trauma, depression and anxiety. Social media social media helps us to communicate or interact with family or friends but it also causes us bad effects,like harassment and bullying, many people experience it especially the youth about their physical appearance. most of them are black women or men, they always experience racism,and the gays, or LGBTQ they always experience discrimination. Many people use social media to harm people, to post profanities, and as insults,THAT'S WHY WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE SPREAD.

CONCLUSION
Overall, This Social Media is not only helpful, but also harmful to our health, that's why it's better to use social media in a good way, not to defame people, use it so that young people can have a good and healthy life usage, and also reduce the use of social media, it's better if you only use it in your academic performance as soon as you are full of learning knowledge. don't use it to post things that should be private, Because using social media not only one or two people will see the things you post but many people will see them so be careful with everything you post or share.
