Transforming Our Relationship with Social Media: A Youth-Led Initiative
October 21, 2025 - 23:02
A youth-led initiative is seeking to alter how we relate to social media. In an era where endless scrolling has become a commonplace activity, young advocates are stepping up to promote healthier online habits. This movement aims to raise awareness about the negative impacts of excessive social media use, including mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
The initiative encourages individuals to take a step back and evaluate their social media consumption. Through workshops, social media campaigns, and community events, participants are learning to foster a more mindful approach to their online presence. The goal is to empower youth to reclaim their time and attention, encouraging them to engage in real-world activities and connections rather than getting lost in the digital landscape.
By promoting strategies like setting time limits, curating feeds for positivity, and taking regular breaks from screens, this initiative hopes to inspire a cultural shift. Ultimately, the aim is to create a balanced relationship with technology that prioritizes well-being over mindless consumption.
