For many students\kids depend on social to take away boredom chat with friends share cool stuff online and a number of other things but are our brains snatching our youth?
Smartphones can sometimes be just like a drug and when taken people will often depend on more.Just like drugs our smartphones and the things that we are exposed to on these devices interact with the limbic system,The limbic system is responsible for feel good emotions and our brain rewards us when these endorphins are released leaving us wanting more and creating a cycle which can really explain why we are so addicted to our phones.Phones and other devices such as computers can make teens and kids self conscious if they are exposed to the wrong things on social media this can sometimes are unhealthy relationships with social media and create unhealthy standards that we think we have to live up to.If young children are exposed to the wrong things they may grow up to believe they that have to live up to society's standards
