Social media taught us all that we have to create versions of our lives and weave narratives and little stories, to really just paint who we are or who we'd like to be.
Picture this: surviving a traumatic high school shooting and then becoming a prominent advocate for gun control. That's Cameron Kasky's story. But now, he's turned his focus to another pressing issue—social media's impact on mental health. In this episode of Recovery Radio, Kasky dives into how social media platforms can create a distorted reality, forcing young people to curate their lives for the sake of likes and followers.
He emphasizes the urgent need for genuine conversations between generations to address these mental health challenges. Reflecting on his advocacy journey, including a memorable encounter with Senator Marco Rubio, Kasky calls for a deeper understanding of how social media affects our mental well-being. Tune in to hear his compelling insights and consider how you can make a difference.
