Social media is well known to have an impact on most everyone.
“Social media definitely takes its toll on you,” Alyssa Oakes, freshman, said. “Sometimes it’s good and easy to see; other times it’s bad, and you don’t notice it.”
People on the Internet are mean and can destroy someone’s confidence just because of clothing or other things deemed unacceptable.
“When I am on a social media platform, TikTok for example, I see people in comment sections insulting people saying mean things and destroying their confidence,” Susannah Paris, freshman, said. “It is the saddest thing to see.”
On the other hand, there are people on social media who strive to make people more confident.
“There is a woman on TikTok named Spencer Barbosa, and she tries to make people more comfortable, and confident being themselves,” Faith Waters, sophomore, said.
Social media is a place people communicate and post their lives.
“There are two impacts social media can have on your life,” Barrett Scott, sophomore, said. “It just depends on what side of the internet you are on.”
