Social media really helps us connect with our family and friends. We're living in a digital world now, with the help of social media we can connect or communicate with anyone around the globe, what an impact it has. While social media can be very effective and positive, it also has negative impact on our mental health. Most people hardly create a good time for themselves and family, why? Because of social media chatting and engagements, it's not bad to do all these things, but if we're not careful, it may affect our mental health, and when that happens it'll surely affect our lifespan as well.
What is "social media" in your life, and how many hours do you spend on it?
Social media plays a crucial role in my life. With social media, i can chat with my friends and family that are not in the state or country, i'll be entertained by numerous content creators and comedians and also get updated on news, especially sports. Without social media, how will i know that Ronaldo jnr just signed for the team his father (Ronaldo) is playing (Al-nassr), so social media really helps and keeps me updated in all trending news.
Though social media plays a crucial role in my life, i dont devote all my time trolling on it. I can't really tell how many hours i do spend on social media because i do work everyday for my boss, so that time to spend on social media is what i don't have, except I'm done with work. Time is money, instead of spending my precious time on social media watching comedies and the likes of them, i do spend most of my time here on STEEMIT.
Name five ways social media can have a negative impact on your life and that of your loved ones.
- Mental health issues
When i'm frequently exposed to news that are not relevant or negative news on social media, this can affect my mental health status because news like this comes with anxiety and depression.
- Relationship strain
Spending most of my time on social media will have a negative impact in my relationship, because the more time i spend on social media interacting with others, the more my partner will get jealous, and it may happen the relationship can't work anymore.
- Physical health issues
Staying on social media all day long will affect my physical health. When i'm online on social media doing stuffs, my eyes and neck are also working with me, so overusing them all because of social media won't guarantee me a good night rest.
- Laziness
Social media is very addicted, when i choose to spend more of my time on social media, i'll surely be a lazy guy, and when I'm lazy i'll starve.
- Peer pressure
This is the worst part of it, teenagers nowadays do upload pictures and videos of their wealth, so if i'm not careful, the pressure can push me to do silly things.
If you had to implement 5 rules to make sure that social media became HEALTHIER in your environment, what would they be?
- Promoting digital literacy
- Implementing consequences for irrelevant post/contents
- Implementing age restrictions
- Implementing real identity
- Enforcing community standards against harassment
Trust me, if we apply these rules on social media platform, it'll contribute to a healthier online environment.

¡Saludos amigo!🤗
Las redes sociales tienen la facultad de ser nuestras amigas siempre y cuando las utilicemos de manera correcta. Sin embargo, si lo hacemos de manera errada, la experiencia puede llegar a ser desagradable y partuendo de esto es que, desde el momento que tomamos la decisión de usarlas, hay que determinar reglas que garanticen nuestra salud a nivel físico y mental.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚
Sumado a esos problema el descontrol de lo compartes puedo crear situaciones donde el contenido sea abusivo y sus fines quizás no sea el adecuado, asumo que los padres en gran parte somos causante de tantos antivalores puesto en la actualidad antes de obsequiar un libro le damos al niño una table o un celular sin crear limites y educar que el uso debería ser exclusivamente educativo

Hi @allison001, you have made several points that are important regarding how social media affects our health.
While I was writing I weighed on the social and emotional part, but it is very relevant to write the physical health, such as pain in the neck, eye damage, among others.
Excellent publication, I wish you luck in the challenge, greetings.

Hi @allison001, your write up is really impressive especially your rules, am sure if you've given the opportunity to implement your unique rules on social media, it will have become a great environment to chill, keep up 🫂🫂.
Thank you bro for adding value to my post, i really appreciate 🤗
Social media plays a crucial role in my life. With social media, i can chat with my friends and family that are not in the state or country, i can also find my long lost friend.
Even though social media has both negative and positive sides, we need to make it more healthier for everyone to access.
The change we want starts from you and I. We should Stop the cyber bully, stop posting nudes and stop posting people'sprivage info because we have them.
You're right there, social media is very crucial in one's life, because it really helps in terms of communication. Without social media, it'll be difficult to communicate with friends amd family across the country.
Thanks for adding value to my post.
Hello @allison001. First of all thanks for the invite to participate in the amazing challenge here on healthy steem community.
You really navigated your points well and that can make someone understand the concept and it effects to our mental health well.
Social media has been part of human lives since the early invention of it. I've always seen the social media as a good innovation. I know the impact can be based on the usage, how you use it when and why.
Mental issue which is the basic negative effect of social media solely capture the concept of this challenge. When there is excessive use of the social media without valid reasons his results to mental health issues like depression anxiety and the rest of them....
Implementations of rules to guide one's health from social media dangers are all correct...
Thanks for sharing and good luck with the challenge..
Thank you so much for carefully reading my post. Social media impact is based on the usage as you said. Though social media is very effective in one's life, we should approach it with caution. Thanks for the goodluck wishes.
Greetings dear Steemit friend
As i read this post, I became interested and fascinated to read more. I was moved when I read a powerful point you made where you talked about relationship strain as a factor that can affect our lives and that of our family when addicted.
Human interaction is very important in our every day life and this is one of that disadvantages of social media as it decreases our relationship and interaction with our friends and families. When we have strained relationship, we deprive ourselves certain things that makes us human.
It is good to know that you spend some of your time working for your boss and not spending or wasting all your time on the social media which will benefit you nothing, Time is money indeed my brother.
Thanks for sharing
Excelente como describes en tu post los efectos negativos que hay por usar las redes.
Que impactante a sido en nuestras vidas su uso desmedido de toda esta nueva manera de comunicarnos.
Pero no podemos perder la esperanza en la humanidad. Ojalá que tomemos conciencia en el asunto.
Saludos y bendiciones ✨
