Catch Da Flava - Effects Social Media has on Mental
Health
On January 22nd,
2019, Catch Da Flava had another radio show regarding social media and the
effects it has on one’s mental health. We had our special guest Mike Stroh from
Starts With Me come in and talk about
this topic with us. Our hosts were Iman, Kylie, Kayla, Jessica and Meredith.
Our hosts had some
interesting questions for Mike, some including does social media impact youth
differently than adults? And how does an addiction to social media affect
someone mentally and physically? They talked about the positives and negatives
of social media has on youth and adults and how in the long run impacts an
individuals’ well being.
Mike informed us
about the good and bad aspects of social media, some of which includes
networking with others or social media taking up too much time throughout our
day. Also, with this generation teenagers are generally
using their phones and on social media minimally 2 hours a day. With phones
being more advanced both teenagers and adults are known to be using their
phones more often than face to face contact. Social media has several affects
on teenagers and adults some including social isolation or addiction.

information on this topic, you can listen to our radio show.
