Social Media
Nowadays, social media influences the lives of mostly young people all over the world. Additionally, the internet has a lot of information and can connect people from many places and welcome new cultures. However, they can have bad experiences associated with mental health.
The young have spent hours on social media and that can create anxiety, depression, and loneliness; following the day-to-day life of influential people can be bad for you. I used to spend hours of the day on the internet and today I try not to use it so much.
Personally, I bet that social media addiction is the evil of the century, as people show a non-real life, nonsense and without perspective.
Furthermore, they can expose violence or inappropriate content such as sex and drugs, because they make you mentally sick. Without a doubt, this is the biggest evil of the century.
