Social media culture damaging youth's mental health

[WestVirginiaRebel]

UK Express:

Social media has created an obsession with image and wealth while celebrities such as reality TV star Kim Kardashian West create a template few can live up to.

 

Yet Government support for young people is “creaking at the seams and not fit for purpose”.

 

Mr Todd says: “We have lost sight of what is important and need to find space to value each other.

 

“There has been a Facebook-isation of life leading to a ‘look at me’ culture. Society seems to have become very individualistic with people obsessing about Me and I rather than supporting one another.

 

“We seem to have become very selfish and angry. You see it in road rage and the way people scream at their kids in supermarkets. Services for young people are being cut just when they are needed more than ever, which is irresponsible. We are sitting on a powder keg because of the amount of stress young people have to live with.
