How social media impacts our mental health
LS202506Personal experience with social media
social media can be an advantage if we use it correctly, it can be destroy a happy family. Just need to manage self-control
A real life example.
My daughter, she is hooked on tiktok, the moment she wake up, 1st thing she will do is look at tiktok,
She is 20 years of age with a 1 year old kid.
The moment, she is on her mobile, she can forget the whole world and just be inside her phone. She forgets about her daughter, she doesnt change diapers until baby cries or when we shout at her to do so, same thing goes for showering and giving milk for her.
We also notice that even when we ask her to help out with a little household chores, she will do it with reluctant and will see tiktok at the same time. But the thing is, we dont shout at her just once, we have to shout at her more than 5 time in order for her to come back to real life and respond to us.
Even during family outings/holidays,
To the extend, we have to keep reminding that it is not 24/7 on phone, you have to bond with us and your daughter, we told her and have to give her curfews for offing her hp and rest time.
In short, social media can be an advantage if we use it correctly, it can be destroy a happy family. Just need to manage self-control
