Social Media

Social media often gets a bad wrap, but it’s a pretty amazing platform.

It gives people a chance to connect with literally anyone, anywhere around the world. You can find like-minded people, make new friends, share music or art you’ve created organise events, share photos, play games – the list is endless.

But at the same time, it’s pretty damaging.

Jordan, Sam and Tabitha chat about how easy it is for people to hide behind social media and bully others. And how certain aspects of social media can cause severe body image issues and in some instances, eating disorders.
