As a Gen Zer, love how you highlighted creativity and friendship stats. So much of my career and personal life have been improved by sharing my work online with cool people 🙂‍↕️

The nonprofit I work for actually just released a study about Gen Z, mental health, and social media (see here: madeofmillions.com/remapping-recovery) so I also would like to point out how social media can help fill in educational gaps (especially for marginalized communities!!!) And how Gen Zs who self diagnose often pair it with a professional diagnosis down the line.

All that being said, I’m always weary of people who paint social media as all good or all bad. Realistically, it’s going to stick around, so it’s important to see it as a tool to be used responsibly.
