Social Media Addiction
(Anti)social Media: The Modern Addiction
Social Media is used everywhere, all the time. From “enjoying” nature to the toilet, people are on their phones. Especially for today’s young adults and teens, social media has become a place to escape from challenges in the outer world and disconnect from your own identity.

Social media is destroying the mental capabilities and potential of future generations.
