Young girl are are more anxious and depressed

Science shows that young girls 11-18 is the group of individuals where the mental health is decreasing the most. This is also the group that spends most time on the mobile. Boys do that also but they play games while girls spend their time on social media. One study show that 62% of the girls are showing conical symptoms of stress such as stomachache, sleeping disorder and anxiety. This is more than doubled since 1980. On social media we are comparing our self with others perfect lives and there is a strong link between how we perceive our position in the hierarchy and the the level of serotonin (how we feel). So from a serotonin perspective comparing ourselves with perfect influencers on social media makes us depressed.

One wy to help girls to fell better is actually to reduce time on social media. Even Facebook has made researches on the negative effect on girls for instance on the body image and the results where not positive.

Spending time with friends in real life ,and even better physical active makes would make girls feel so much better.
