My results from the Am I Addicted to Social Media Quiz did not surprise me. I am aware that my social media use is more than I would like it to be. My results stated:

"You're fairly reliant on social media, but there are far worse culprits! Still, it's good to be reminded that UK adults spend an average of 8 hrs. 41 mins on screens every day, and 4 hours of that on smartphone apps alone (mainly social media). That's about a third of each day checking apps. Do you need to rethink your social media habits and the amount of time you spend scrolling?"

I have recently started to, and will continue to, check my daily/weekly screen time as I would like to decrease it especially for apps.

In my opinion, social media has had a negative impact on our society. One of the largest issues that impacts me as well is mental health decline with use of social media. Comparing to other's lives, bullying, and the loss of individuality is common. Social media has become addicting, some spending hours online given false portrayals of how they should be living their life- leading to depression.
