WELCOME

The concept behind our blog focuses on the effects that social media has on young adults’ mental health and more specifically, the impact it has had during this pandemic. Additionally, it would focus on the benefits of social media and how helpful (or not helpful) it has been when informing society about COVID and how it has helped the mental health of young adults. This topic has piqued our interest because of the pandemic. Due to COVID, a lot of restrictions had to be put in place (like lockdowns) and this much of a drastic change can impact our mental health. We are targeting the effect that this event had on the young adults and observing the change of social media over this month. The audience we are focusing on is young adults and adolescents because they are the most active and the largest group that uses social media.
