Journal two entry one

something that I found surprising about my research would include how many people deal with depression and anxiety at a young age. I knew a lot of people deal with depression but I didn’t realize how the younger generation is affected by it. I found a lot of studies different colleges dis that showed information about how social media is affecting students and how allot of them feel like they are overwhelmed because of social media.
something that was unsettling was how many kids are affected by social media. social media makes us feel connected by can make people feel depressed based on what they see. The more time kids spend on social media the more likely they are to become of higher risk of suicide and depression.
I am still interested in writing about my topic. I want to learn more about mental health and how it effects the younger generation. Mental health has aways interested me and I’ve wanted to know more about it.
people should care about my topic because it effects a lot of people especially kids in school (high school and college). Everyone needs to have good mental health and social media is effecting everyone that uses it.
I want my reader to understand that social media might not be as good as people say. Social media has positives and negatives that make people feel bad about themselves.
