Social media is filled with a lot of fake life, hence people get depressed thinking they have been left behind by others. I think the best thing to do would be to create awareness for people to know how they are being affected negatively.

Due to social media one's mental health will be affected. There are fake news on soc med like Facebook and X. Others take what they read seriously. They should not entertain. The young generations in this digital age are highly exploitation by technology media and among others related to social media.
