Sharing – The impact of Facebook and Instagram on teens isn’t so clear
In the end, here’s the thing. You, and your kids, are not a study. You are all individuals, who may be negatively impacted by social media, or not.

It might even be helping you and having a positive impact on your lives.
Only you can truly judge that. If it’s harming you, I hope you’ll consider making changes. Follow the social media accounts for this blog if you want to start getting more information like this, or just stop using it altogether. If it’s helping you feel supported and less alone in the world, then enjoy that and I hope you’ll continue to share that within your social media circles.
As I have said many times – do what works for you.
