I am not surprised to see that 46% of teenagers report almost constantly being online according to a Pew Research Report. This number has nearly doubled in the past decade and will continue to increase. #psychsocialmedia
I was not surprised when I saw the Teens, Technology, and Friendships report and survey regarding digital technology and teenagers. The surgery was conducted over ten years ago and I believe the numbers have increased. #psychsocialmedia

I believe we put far too much trust and blind faith in the “news” we see on social media. Every social media user has the ability to post content and label it as news. It is our responsibility to do the research before we believe what we see on the internet. #psychsocialmedia
It was interesting to see the stats of people who couldn’t imagine life without their phone. In 2015, nearly 50% of people agreed they couldn’t imagine life without their cell and I believe the number is higher today especially with new social media platforms. #psychsocialmedia
I believe fame influences the general public to share on social media. Whether we want to admit it or not, many of us do post content with the hopes of reaching a larger audience. That being said, most of us have limitations of what we are willing to post. #psychsocialmedia
