There was a study done on 83 girls who were around the age of 13, and they found that the girls who spend more time on this social media site had higher levels of depression. The theory goes that all of this social media interaction, like texting and instant messaging, makes it easy for teens to have high anxiety and depression. I guess the moral of the story is to use Facebook in moderation, and don’t substitute it for real people in your life. Social media is a wonderful thing, and it provides the opportunity to connect with people all over the world. On the flipside, it also poses the risk of not truly connecting with the people that you see every day if you are using it too often.
