Q Dear Patrick,
Every time I look through my phone, I see someone having the time of their life. When I miss out on something fun or important that my friends are experiencing, I feel worried and lonely. How can I avoid(避免) this?
— Sarah
A Hi! Sarah,
This is a big reason why so many people worry about the influence(影响) of social media(社交媒体) on teenagers. Feeling worried and lonely as a result of looking through your phone is quite ordinary.
Quite a lot of people post their pictures or videos on social media. Most of them share the best parts of their lives. You must keep in mind that they do so to share good feelings with others. It's hard to find people sharing their bad moments, like feeling stressed(有压力的) about their home life or shame(羞愧) after failing a test.
If seeing these videos and photos still makes you down, stop going online for some time. Do something that makes you happy. You don't need to impress anyone else.
