You know, many teens go on social media to make new friends, have fun, and build community with people who share their likes/dislikes. What happens, though, is that we sometimes have social media experiences that make us feel isolated and bring us down. But using social media more mindfully and intentionally might help in having better experiences on social media.

Our brain sometimes focuses more on the negative than on the positive. Being aware of it is a good first step to start focusing more on the positive experiences you have on social media.
10-08-2025 21:44:34

Don’t forget, most social media apps have settings you can use to reduce the negativity you see on your feed, like:
- Turning off comments
- Unfollowing someone
- Blocking or hiding a specific contact

You know, many teens go on social media to make new friends, have fun, and build community with people who share their likes/dislikes. What happens, though, is that we sometimes have social media experiences that make us feel isolated and bring us down.
