This is the question I´m seeing everywhere, Is social media bad? My answer? Ok this might be long but this is what´s been on mi mind lately, everything started with Instagram celebrity as everyone describes her, Essena O´Neill, this girl totally blew everyones minds even mine.
First able I want to say that Essena is such an amazing person for doing this and leaving all the glamour, contracts, etc back for a good reason. Okay so if you haven't heard of this on the news or social media, lets start with her announcement on instagram of her quitting all her social media(instagram, tumblr, snapchat and youtube) and leaving it for good because she couldn't handle being fake and doing something that she was not even enjoying.
This is honestly so sad because I followed her for a while and I always thought on how amazing her life was because of what she was sharing with her 500k followers, but she says it was nothing but fake, after that she made a video on the reason behind her shocking decision, she said social media is not good and we are getting brain washed, we are pursuing perfect lives online and wishing it was ours. Anyways part of me always knew that but I want to say that not everybody is like that and there are lots of people doing great stuff thru social media which I think is fantastic, I´m also in social media and I love it but that doesn't mean what Im doing or saying was real for me, yes sometimes I do pose for a pic or I set everything to get a great pic, but that doesn't mean I´m fake, I just love doing great quality pics. Or like the people that have sponsor stuff on their social media is not bad either, social media is just a tool to get to people from all over the world.
What I learn about social media is that you need to have a balance you need to limit yourself because if not you get addicted and thats when social media is bad for you because you start with not listening when someone is talking to you you are just staring at your phone, you don't get things done because you are to busy checking snapchat or twitter, by the time pass when you look
