Do you think social media (Facebook in particular) has more of a negative impact on children/young adults?

I may regret posting this but I’m not trying to stir a ruckus, believe me..But.. I personally believe Facebook especially, though I’m not excluding others such as Instagram and the like, are a literal CANCER to today’s society. I honestly believe a lot of these school shootings and random acts of violence is fueled by social media more so than anything else these days. Call me crazy.But not just the violence, I think it also has lead people to criticize others more quickly than usual, and develops tensions and unfulfilled expectations of actual reality. People try to “one up” the last person, no matter what the subject may be. It’s a competition.It seems people are quick to dismiss another’s success because it transpires to jealousy quicker than it can develop appreciation or excitement for another’s success. It’s turned people cold an callous and downright petty.These are just random thoughts. But if I could have it my way, I would take the shit down for a brief period of time, like a 1/4 of a year and see how it pans out. I can honestly say I feel it would do more good than harm.Thoughts/Opinions?? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Jyz2vl
