If I have the power, through social

media, to positively impact

someones life and to genuinely
make a difference, I dont see how
that can be a bad thing.

Suddenly, I was no longer having fun:

Why was I on this stupid paddleboat on
this lackluster lake wearing this
unflattering life jacket from hell?

A survey among 231 emerging

adults (age 1825) showed that
Facebook use was related to a
greater degree of negative social
comparison, which was in turn
related negatively to self-perceived
social competence and physical
attractiveness.
