Sister Tires of Half-Sister's Online Snooping, Silences Her with a Single Remark
In a recent article for Mental Health Center Kids, Michael Vallejo sheds light on the negative effects of social media on teenagers. His piece comes at a time when concerns about the mental health implications of social media usage among young people are at the forefront.
The US Surgeon General has released a social media advisory, suggesting that social media can have a detrimental impact on the mental health of kids and teens. According to the advisory, frequent use of social media could be associated with changes in parts of the brain related to emotions, learning, and social behavior.
A poll conducted by Bored Panda, a popular online platform, supports this claim. The poll shows that around 48% of teenagers admit that social media has a negative impact on people their age. This finding aligns with a report by the Pew Research Center, where independent researcher and macroeconomist Karlheinz Ruckriegel claims that 48 percent of teenagers say social media has a negative impact on them.
However, the impact of social media isn't just a statistical figure. A disturbing case involving a woman and her estranged half-sister demonstrates the potential harm that can come from excessive social media use. The woman's half-sister, a 17-year-old, has developed an obsessive interest in the woman's life, filling the comments section with false accusations and hate.
The woman's half-sister has also hijacked a heartfelt Mother's Day tribute to the woman's late mother, uploading old family photos and shaming the woman for editing her father out. Despite the woman's efforts to block her, her half-sister keeps creating new accounts to continue the harassment.
The woman's family was shattered by the betrayal, and neither the woman nor her older siblings have ever let it go. The woman's half-sister's existence is a result of her father's affair with one of the woman's mother's friends. The woman's half-sister has a delusional narrative that portrays the woman's father as a victim and the woman's older siblings as villains.
This case underscores the potential for social media to exacerbate existing issues and create new ones. It's a reminder that while social media can provide a platform for connection and expression, it can also lead to dependence due to its design to activate the brain's reward centers.
