When the pandemic started, social media was initially intended to be used as a way of communication
It ended up leading to more isolation and people cutting off from the real world and their families

Social media has caused anxiety and depression among many teens
Comparing yourself to others
Filters- hiding the real you
Force people to believe there is a definition of a perfect person
Hate comments can take a toll on mental health

Episode Title: Teenage Mental Health in the Social Media Age

By: Charlie Brooks and Caroline Flannery

Welcome to the Camp Rock podcast. As advocates for teenage mental health, being teenagers ourselves, I, Charlie Brooks, and my co-host, Caroline Flannery decided to make a podcast that would reflect the mental health issues faced by teenagers today. Today’s Camp Rock podcast episode will discuss the aspects of teenage mental health and wellbeing during the Social Media age.

Segment 1 (Negatives):

Extremist groups - polarization
Cyberbullying - how it has affected kids and schools
Addictiveness
Teens are already vulnerable
Facebook whistleblower - causes/effects

Segment 2 (Positives):

Communities - identities and understanding - safe space for minorities
Censored countries organize protests
Relieve social anxiety
Online activism - kids getting interested in important topics

Conclusion

Teens are most vulnerable
Teen Line is a hotline made specifically for teens and their mental health struggles - speaking to another teen - You can call them at (800) 852-8336 or contact them via text from 9 pm to 12 am EST by texting “TEEN” to 839863
Positives reflect more on users
Ways to avoid letting social media control you:
Set time limits on these apps/your phone
Put down your phone - you need a tech break - ground you, and relieve anxiety
Delete apps altogether - more free time - happier

I’m Charlie Brooks, and I’m Caroline Flannery, and we’d like to thank you for listening to this episode of the Camp Rock podcast.
