ZUCKERBERG is aware that Instagram is dangerous to the mental health of teenage girls. The social media of photos with filters, bought by Facebook for a billion dollars in 2010, seems to have devastating effects on the psyche of many teen-agers. According to research, commissioned by Mark Zuckerberg's own company, one in three girls with an Instagram account develops perception disorders of their own body. And even all the groups analyzed spontaneously accused social media of causing them anxiety and an increase in depressive tendencies. A disaster. Especially if placed in a potential context: some time ago, in fact, Facebook has long toyed with the idea of proposing a version of Instagram for children under 13. ZUCKERBERG was fully aware of the damage Instagram created to teenagers, while pushing for an app dedicated to under 13s.
This research on the effects of Instagram was done by the Menlo Park company, revealed by the WSJ, and shows that Zuckerberg's company is aware that photo social can lead to eating disorders and depression. But it does nothing to fix it.
Not just eating disorders. Social media can be a source of depression in general (if a post doesn’t get enough “likes”), bullying, and suicide. And adults need to get their noses out of their own devices and be aware of what their kids are going through. What started out as a fun way to keep in touch has become a monster that has taken over the lives of too many, especially teens.
Many children feel ignored by their own parents who are monopolized by their phone. This brings out intellectual and emotional disorders, especially when they are very young, in the first 3 years of a child’s life, affective presence and dialogue are important for his linguistic development. Phone addiction therefore has a negative impact on the child’s development.
Some parents will even show anger at their offspring if disturbed, much to the astonishment of the child who does not understand the reason for this attitude. Hence the importance of interaction with the child so that the child can improve his language and his behavioral problems. Author and educator Charles Swindoll said it well “Every day of our lives, we make deposits in our children’s memory banks.”
