I feel like I scored very well, as I was reading the items in the scale it made me think about how my score is completely different than it would have been when I was still in high school or middle school. When I was on trips away from home with not much to do but just my mom, I would rely on it and social media for entertainment. I remember going camping when I was like a sophomore, and I was dying with no service and not able to go on my phone and scroll through social media and reply to people on Snapchat. I am glad for memories like that because you don\u2019t really realize at the time how sucked in you are. The conclusion was right, I feel like my obsession with social media was because I was bullied at a younger age and was self-conscious about my looks. In a way social media gave me closure at those times. When I look at that scale and the items in it they seem crazy to me now, but a part of me knows at one point I used social media a lot, maybe never posted but was active. I feel like there are different patterns found across the world because everyone grows up differently and I feel like location plays a very big role, where you grow up and the people you are around to grow up with. Loneliness and the loss of family members and friends can play a role too, there are so many factors that we look over until we face them.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
