Really fascinating report on the impact of social media on young peoples' mental health. Instagram is the worst, followed by Snapchat. YouTube is the best. The overwhelming reason for the negative impacts is comparison. Looking at pictures of others and what they're wearing, their body shapes, their glamorous holidays or weekends etc. Adults do this just as much on social media, often innocently, thinking they're just sharing what they're up to. But the culture eventually becomes one of constant comparison.
