Mental health awareness week

Social media effecting children in a good way or a bad way.  

Social Media may cause huge problems such as bullying. Well that can be prevented by simply blocking unfriendly people. People using social media usually show off their achievements and when children see amazing achievements...they feel low for themselves and their self esteem drops as they feel that they are worthless when comparing what they have achieved with what others have achieved.  Although there is very good part of social media which we should all understand. Well, we all know that there are people out there who try their best to prevent Mental Illness Stigma. Lots of people in the social networking world can help make you feel better and increase your self esteem by a lot. The problem it you need to be able to contact certain people for that . For example people with mental illness could possibly go on Twitter and chat with groups like @mentalillnesspolicypeople who can help people with mental illness in many ways. I think that the most severe problem with mental illness is people not being able to communicate and that they are extents silent. Many people with mental illness are silent, and don't seem to express their feelings, sadness, emotions and thoughts. Using social media it may be easier for them to express their inner thoughts as they don't actually have  to explain an describe their  thoughts vocally, and instead they could type it out, which can be much easier, and less gut taking, as you don't  see the person and you are just chatting with an unknown person. Through social media it becomes easier to communicate with others and and this way distress can easily be seen and cured.
