I have only recently got instagram after friends suggested I get it, but I don't post on it.  I find it a bit impersonal and I would rather have direct conversations with people.

I think that if I was without social media I would feel a lot less in touch with the people in my life and society.  However, I also think I would be a lot less self-conscious and envious of others if I wasn't exposed to the unrealistic standards she social media sites offer.

Social media is a way of communicating with my friends and family when I can't be with them.  It has also always been a part of my life.

It can be a blessing or a curse depending on the day.

Social media is a place of entertainment and community, yet a place of fake news and insecurity.
