Social Networking is creating anxiety and depression

By: netzach

Tweet

In a study done by Stony Brook University, of 83 13 year old girls, found that rehashing your problems over and over again via technology such as Instant messengers, blogging services, or other social networking devices such as Facebook, or Twitter is actually causing more harm then good.

The researchers found that when the girls told their problems over and over again, it actually did not help them feel better. It did the opposite and create anxiety and depression within the girls.

This is quiet interesting since, cyber bullying is now the form du jour when it comes to girl bullying. With more and more girls participating in these forms of social networking, the opportunity for this bullying can occur.

So, for all you young angels out there, tell your problems to a single, persons that you can trust. The world wide web, is not the best place.
