Our Social Media Polls & Surveys
Embedded Files
We used polls to collect valuable information from our followers and audience on their social media habits, which helps us interact with our community much better even over breaks and vacations. We are also able to use these data to support our posts and strategies, and attract more followers.
Our polls expose what our peers, friends, and followers are experiencing with social media daily.
Observed a lot of hours on social media compared to sleep, signifying unhealthy social media habits leading to possible sleep deprivation.
A lot of them reported being stressed in association with social media as well.

Interviews
We began interviewing students at our school about their experiences with social media in order to get firsthand insight on the problems they face, and their opinion on our initiative.
Posters
We created some posters and will hang them up around school to motivate students and spread our positive strategies! This will get many to combat risk factors like comparison and stress, which many of them reported that they face.
Investigating Australia
We took a vacation to Australia from December 31 - January 10 and observed how social media being recently banned for people under 16 affected some of them.
We spoke with several under-16s and they told us what they thought about the ban.
Most stated that it was frustrating to adjust at first, but started exploring other creative activities that they find interesting.
Others began to feel less stressed and had more fun playing/exploring outdoors, such as with sports like cricket or exploring urban areas with friends and family.
We presented and explained to these under-16s our campaign, and they understood the positive mental health effect this had, seeing they broke their addiction. Under-16s are finding alternative ways to relieve stress and develop skills beyond social media.
