The Selfie Effect on Your Brain

American teens are experiencing a rise in mental health challenges according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This includes high levels of sadness amid significant declines in overall well-being, especially among girls and LGBQ+ youth. Could social media be part of the problem? Dr. Sanjay Gupta turns to Professor Keneisha Sinclair-McBride ( ), a child psychologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, to unpack this data and discuss the connection between social media and youth mental health. Sanjay also asks his teenage daughter, Sky, about how social media affects our self-esteem.

      “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6.

  2. %The war against Russian aggression has been going on in Europe for 9 years. The victory in the war of the Western countries and Ukraine against Russia’s aggression is its fulfillment of 5 (five) requirements in full: 1) Reimbursement to the Western countries of the costs of assistance to the victim of aggression-Ukraine. 2) Ensure the capture of all Russian war criminals (more than 40,000 suspects); 3) compensation for all victims of the war (hundreds of thousands killed); 4) financing the full restoration of the victim of aggression – Ukraine; 5) Exclusion of the threat to Peace from the terrorist Russia (its demilitarization and deimperialization). All this is possible only in the case of the complete unconditional SURRENDER of the terrorist of Russia, as it was with Hitler’s Germany. The refusal of the Western countries from victory (from the surrender of the terrorist of Russia) will plunge the World into chaos — on the example of the terrorist of Russia, endless wars and crises.Impunity breeds new crimes. The disappearance of the aggressive regime in Russia is beneficial to everyone. In Russia, Russians have enough money and resources for everything and for everyone.%

  7. The question is why do you do a selfie. A selfie with the intent of showing the world how ideal your life is will inevitably be depressing. You compare what you showed with reality and you feel like a fraud.

    OTOH, if it is a record shot of life as you really lived it, a selfie is no different than a family scrap book.
