Wired, yet Unwell Icy winds stung her cheeks through the tiny gap between her facemask and goggles. Her friend gave her the “thumbs-up” and pointed the phone towards her. She bent her legs and locked her knees, increasing speed as she anticipated the jump. The clattering of her skis on the freshly groomed snow applauded her as she sped towards the lip. Suddenly, she felt her body leave the ground, and almost immediately felt the skis make contact with the snow once more. Racing to her friend, she grabbed her phone, eager to see the surely “post-worthy” photo of herself. However, the image that appeared on the screen greatly understated what was envisioned in her imagination. Although disappointed, there was an easy fix. Within a few …show more content…
Social media gives users the ability to present themselves positively—this in turn raises their spirits. It is not uncommon for a teen to post that picture-perfect image at precisely five o’clock Sunday evening, for he or she knows this is prime time for maximum likes. These mere notifications on a screen significantly enhance the mood state, similarly to a high from a drug. This “high” is the gateway to the egocentric and eventually addictive behaviors caused by social media. It is not only the post-happy extraverts who experience addictions, but introverted users as well. While extraverts use social media to create social enhancement, introverts are drawn to sites for social compensation (Kuss and Griffiths, 2011). With enticements for both socially active and inactive individuals, it is clear social media has the makings for addictions. When terms such as “mood modification,” “fidgeting,” and “withdrawal” are discussed, most individuals associate these symptoms with drug or alcohol addictions. However, perhaps the most common addiction is not readily considered an addiction whatsoever. New research has emerged in regard to individuals with social media addiction; the symptoms they experience are similar to those with other chemical or behavioral addictions. Social media addiction is diagnosed with a number of behaviors, such as neglect of activities due to excessive

The addiction to social media use destroys our mental health just as much as it does to only avoiding the urge to look at it. Social media addiction is a classified mental health issue that can require professional treatment. Researchers at Nottingham Trent University in 2011 concluded that this issue leads to an assortment of problems such as relationship dilemmas, academic decline, and less participation in physical interactions in which our social media will replace our ties in real life (Brown 6). In the article “Smartphones: Uniting the World’s Children for Better, or Worse?”, an addictive behavior is defined as when one compulsively repeats the same behavior that subjects things in his or her life to. The addictive behavior social media can bring upon a person is as detrimental as drug or alcohol addictions (Smartphones: Uniting the World’s 2). Being addicted to this will impair your mental state and your sole desire will be to log back onto your feed. Your mind will become bogged down with social interactions 24/7 and your mental health will deteriorate from social media

Abstract: Online social media services like Facebook witness an exponential increase in user activity when an event takes place in the real world. This activity is a combination of good quality content like information, personal views, opinions, comments, as well as poor quality content like rumours, spam, and other malicious content. Although, the good quality content makes online social media a rich source of information, consumption of poor quality content can degrade user experience, and have inappropriate impact in the real world. In addition, the enormous popularity, promptness, and reach of online social media services across the world makes it essential to monitor this activity, and minimize the production and spread of poor quality content. Multiple studies in the past have analysed the content spread on social networks during real world events. However, little work has explored the Facebook social network. Two of the main reasons for the lack of studies on Facebook are the strict privacy settings, and limited amount of data available from Facebook, as compared to Twitter. With over 1 billion monthly active users, Facebook is about times bigger than its next biggest counterpart Twitter, and is currently, the largest online social network in the world. In this literature survey, we review the existing research

The project aim at teenagers, therefore sample group is between 13 to 19. I will set the sample sizes in 50 participants since it is easy to identity and more precision. If a sample sizes increase, it is very hard to estimate and become not accurate. Also, I’m worry about the extremes data can’t make a balance out, so the project prefers small sample sizes. It can take less effort to gain and maintain people, it is easy to produce significant results and comfortable to find a group of people. I will obtain samples from friends or friends’ sister and brother.
