Social media is everywhere and it can be accessed by anyone even a child as young as 2 years old who knows how to use a gadget, like mobile phones or tablets or even a laptop. The influence of social media especially to younger generation is very important. Social media has a great impact to the society now, it can greatly affect a person and it can even KILL. We know that there's alot of stories about cyberbullying and depression. These are very common issues that teens and the millennials are expeiencing. And the sad part is there's an increasing number of deaths caused by suicide. What is the role of social media in suicide-related behavior?

We all have our different social media accounts, aside from Steemit we may have facebook, twitter and instagram and other social media platforms. Majority of social media users are spending more than half of their day(12hrs or more) interacting in different platforms. The things we see and read on social medial can great affect how we feel. It can create different emotions, it can make us happy, sad, angry, hopeful or even depressed.

Depression can lead to suicide! And this is a very alarming issue! For those who are concern with this WE MUST START POSITIVITY IN OUR OWN SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS! Creating awareness of this issue is one thing but starting positivity in our own accounts is very beneficial for everyon!

We can start creating a positive atmosphere in social media. We can start this in our post, by posting or twitting encouragements or positivities daily. I can share a positive and encouraging post, you can also do it, he can also do it and she can also do it until it becomes contagious! If there will be many of us who will do this I hope and pray that the negativity in social media will soon be eliminated. Hopefully. It is very sad to think that social media platforms now are full of hate, mocking and negativity and this must be addressed accordingly.
