“Hi, everybody! Thanks for tuning into Camp Rock podcast. I’m here with my good friend Matilda. Today we will be talking about the effects that moving will have on teenagers' mental health. Moving from one place to another can cause problems in relationships, and academics, and cause cultural shock. Let’s get into how these events can affect you.”

In this episode of Camp Rock the Podcast we discuss: the negative effects social media has had on people in regards to their mental health, dangers, and how it has been impacted by Covid.

• When the pandemic started, social media was initially intended to be used as a way of communication
• It ended up leading to more isolation and people cutting off from the real world and their families

• Social media has caused anxiety and depression among many teens
• Comparing yourself to others
• Filters- hiding the real you
• Force people to believe there is a definition of a perfect person 
• Hate comments can take a toll on mental health

• Personal information is available to the entire world
• People can easily harass others anonymously online- cyberbullying
• Identity theft
• Promotes negativity and controversy- cancel culture

Welcome to the Camp Rock podcast. As advocates for teenage mental health, being teenagers ourselves, I, Charlie Brooks, and my co-host, Caroline Flannery decided to make a podcast that would reflect the mental health issues faced by teenagers today. Today’s Camp Rock podcast episode will discuss the aspects of teenage mental health and wellbeing during the Social Media age.

Segment 1 (Negatives): 

• Extremist groups - polarization
• Cyberbullying - how it has affected kids and schools
• Addictiveness
• Teens are already vulnerable
• Facebook whistleblower - causes/effects

Segment 2 (Positives):

• Communities - identities and understanding - safe space for minorities
• Censored countries organize protests
• Relieve social anxiety
• Online activism - kids getting interested in important topics

Conclusion

• Teens are most vulnerable
• Teen Line is a hotline made specifically for teens and their mental health struggles - speaking to another teen - You can call them at (800) 852-8336 or contact them via text from 9 pm to 12 am EST by texting “TEEN” to 839863
• Positives reflect more on users
• Ways to avoid letting social media control you:
• Set time limits on these apps/your phone
• Put down your phone - you need a tech break - ground you, and relieve anxiety
• Delete apps altogether - more free time - happier
