Your Teen and Social Media

Here is a great article from the New Your Times (NYT), on the affects of social media on teenage girls.

The NYT article states "For kids, developing a healthier relationship with Instagram and other platforms can be tricky." Further, the NYT notes "The Wall Street Journal revealed last week that researchers at Instagram had studied for years how its photo-sharing app affects young users and found that it can be particularly harmful to teenage girls, news that alarmed parents and lawmakers."

To view Facebook's (which owns Instagram),  statement follow this link.

Instagram noted "The question on many people’s minds is if social media is good or bad for people. The research on this is mixed; it can be both."

The importance of parental supervision when it comes to social media cannot be overstated. #Mikedadson #Langley #counsellor
