a surprise. instagram tick, tock and snap chat are especially popular with younger age groups. they share content and present themselves online. social media is a way to keep up with friends, find out the latest trends in fashion and music, and get tips on health, beauty, and hobbies. but facebook, twitter, snap, chad and instagram are also platforms for intimidation, humiliation, bullying, and sexism. the consequences are isolation, lack of sleep, loss of self confidence, and suicidal thoughts. girls are especially affected because they use social media more than boys. for best, and eliza your elusive, this he wants to be your friend,

classmates didn't stop. on the contrary, it got worse, and finally, ended up in the classroom. all ethanol management began to sometimes the whole class laughed at me and then they also came up with inside jokes that were all at my expense. was he handled by law, they laughed at me and kept excluding me. and that made the feelings of loneliness even worse on, and some called her back order some iron. firstly, i was deeply ashamed of myself. hour and secondly, i felt ashamed in front of others because i simply had the feeling that i was so bad that no one wanted me around missions and i getting that harm. her museum halls is a youth psychologist. she says around $1.10 young people experience online bullying . that number is alarmingly high, given the devastating psychological impact fiber cleanse, and that facade sequences can include feelings of depression, social anxiety,

sleep disorders, concentration disorders, loss of appetite, and also a wide range that they pursue on climate. as the because young people haven't had much life experience, wonderful feeling of an event like this, an insult or public humiliation is much harder on them because they can't put it into perspective and think o as they don't yet know that to day it might be bad but in 6 months time everyone will have forgotten it. yeah, nobody will talk about it any more. but for them it's terrible. they think my life's over. i can't show my face any more. that's it does last yet. i gudgusten bird. his daughter could have been, i was little cut off for weeks, alina tried to cope with the humiliation alone. at some point, however, she could no longer handle it. she sought help, assembled company name or men which miss miss may. there came a point when i didn't dare to go to school any more of her because the moment i got up i was so afraid. i didn't know how i would get through the day liar. she told

her mother about the online attacks together. they demanded that a lena's classmate stop. that was exactly the right thing to do as of last night. now the main thing is to take action. don't sweep everything under the carpet farmer, bring it into the light. confronted publicly. oh, absolutely. confront him. it's always better to say something than to say nothing. alida knows that now 2 friends rallied to her side online and stood up for her. her bullies became rattled and stopped me for a 3rd. it was, i guess it's not like i just forgot all that and now i get up every day and feel happy clipless and love myself. when you're growing up and something messes with your sense of identity, caught up in such a fundamental way. it just does something to you. yeah, i am off of this whole world of social media that's there all the time or wish to get a couple of not her, but i know that i can love myself me and that i am fine the way i am over and that

others do not defy me, miss miss tiffany, am to day, alina encourages other victims of bullying to fight back. we can generate feelings of happiness through our body's reward system. when we carry out certain actions, our brain releases happy hormones that make us feel good. that also happens when we get likes or when we read comments on our post to keep getting those nice feelings, we keep repeating the actions that produce them. so if we look at our phones, say 88 times a day, each time we see we have a like, or a message, we get a little positive boost of happy hormones that we create ourselves. and it really is addictive. australian celeste bother makes fun of

tick tock, post, and spice. successful female influences not everyone's a farm for many young people. social media platforms are hugely important, but they also have the potential to become addictive. brain researchers have proven that likes and comments on facebook, instagram and tick tock, stimulate the brain rewards center in a similar way that food, sex, and drugs, day. addictions counselor, lydia grammar knows many young people who are so into social media, but they put their own health at risk. as costa islas is my last everything i, i always have to be up to date, and i have to be informed about rethink elaborate. i subscribe to a whole bunch of channel and not less or maybe neglect my real friends on top of that. i live on fed, on the finish. and so i feel permanently stressed wattsey on what the warning signs . young people constantly glued to their smart phones. no time to eat with the

family. schoolwork has neglected hobbies and interests are forgotten. and even in bed, the cellphone is ever present or back now shawn, phenomena, we're also seeing phenomena where for example, young people won't leave home without an extra battery because they're worried that their phone will run out of power and all can accommodate. ha, ah, it's all driven by fomo fair if missing out. run it as an anti and if i is a parent, find bottles of yellow liquid in the children's or teenagers room that isn't apple juice and on august and if they really start to p in bottles, so as not to waste time using the toilet, that should really set off all the alarm bells done. lloyd. another problem is the tendency for young people to constantly compare themselves with others. influences

look perfectly styled and beautiful. the pictures are often photoshop. those who tried themselves find the results less than satisfactory. at some ashby, a canal bore example, we can observe that the age at which people's not having cosmetic surgery is getting ever younger wise because they don't find themselves beautiful. stevens are more because they're dissatisfied with their bodies, copa, or, and on. awfully, that's often saying that girls and young women are more affected, but you can observe the same behavior in boys and young men and they might go to the gym more or use anabolic steroids and anabolic car. so how do you deal with such problems? first, parents should take a close look at their own behavior. maybe they themselves are spending the whole day in front of the computer. oh, glued to that fire. that's. that's a bad example. children need to have clara roles are unfurnished now

by in the beginning. make sure you're included. find out what your child is watching on their tablet tv, your streaming service. watch things together, discuss the content with them, or have them show you a chat now and then i'll tell them they can only use instagram or whatever. once they reach a certain age and then when they're older, trust them to deal with it. but if something goes wrong, reach out for help freshman team 16 times without a phone and help prevent addiction. the user is then forced to occupy themselves with other things. there are also apps which regulate use. you could try switching off the y fi for a time and use an old fashioned alarm clock so that your child doesn't need to take that phone to bad. and what, how minded your house one and i told me they have a phone hotel at home. that's a box where all the smartphones get stored me

a guns courses offered if you're really worried, make sure you get professional, help understood. so no one can. so be wary if the lives of you and your child revolve entirely around the phone or social media, treat yourself there's that to a much needed break. and one study reports that in germany, almost one in 20 people between the ages of 10 and 17 is at risk of becoming addicted to social media. that's 800000 young people. the university of london says girls and young women are especially at risk. 90 percent added their pictures before posting them. 70 percent feel under pressure to the impression of a perfect life and 60 percent sometimes feel depressed that they don't live up to beauty ideals. researchers believe this pressure can lead to eating disorders, anxiety and depression. another danger is cyber grooming,

anyone about it. in a counseling center for those affected alena math sees lots of children who are ashamed to report these chats. swords medina, guilt plays a big role. however, i sent the photo i got involved in the chat, said, i'm good gang. these are all reasons why children and young people just say die. oh, i am embarrassed. i better not say anything that is or try to get help as accurately by nixon woodmere kind of protection dolls are patchy in many countries expert. they online platforms don't protect miners enough that makes them easy game for perpetrators. that's why alina mess says that parents should stay alert and ask questions that i can, does mccallski, when a kid leads the house, parents say, where are you going to? who are you meeting when are you back? no, just because a kid is at home, sitting safely in my room, doesn't mean mass safe in this online world gone. it's petune celine deleted the

b t q. social movements are for young people. i mean, even though i don't really have dizzy, i am in thick young people who rediscover themselves and identify as a different gender often have to deal with feelings of shame, of being inferior and are often confronted with a lack of understanding in their immediate circle and live thing online, they find people who understand them, o accept them that to tell them you are okay, the way you are, there's nothing wrong with you. yeah, we're just like you towards that as a 3rd of the ally. stanford is a, it's a relief for these young people to realize that they're no different and i'm for huh. and that they're welcomed by like minded people in a group and a community off lama affair. i acceptance instead of ignorance. that's with fiona,

is committed to. she supports minorities online shoots videos and writes online petitions with. i will get i finished with his counselor, take that one life. and in general, i think it's very important to simply listen to and help people who are treated bad or worse than others. if or not, and that's why social media is very good at bringing attention to such situations, is with its own for life and whether it's black people or people who are jewish in between blog, let's just listen to them and make people aware of it. so i thought it's the only way they can be helped, and more people can become aware of the problem with me. say g, everything's bed and i guess we as of it when i bought them and up. so i just think that every person should be treated absolutely equal or new take on. it's absolutely unnecessary today in the 21st century to treat people differently because of their parents, origin, faith, gender, sexuality, or religion. and that's why i think it's very important that we start now to
