I'm Dr. Princess Fumi Hancock, a board-certified psychiatric mental health doctor of nurse practice. I wanted to bring your attention to a recent article from The Hill. The Surgeon General has issued an advisory stating that social media contributes to a youth mental health crisis. Today, let's discuss the impact of social media, especially on our youth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cyberbullying, misinformation, and dangerous influences are prevalent, and harmful content impacts our children's well-being. Parents must monitor their children's online activities. Teachers face challenges too, with bullying and misinformation affecting their work. As parents, educators, and influencers, we must take responsibility and create a safe and positive online environment for our youth. Let's take responsibility, be good role models, and prioritize our children's well-being. Join me on this journey of spreading awareness and making a positive change.

you, thank you, thank youfor joining me today. What do I
want to talk about today? Iwanted to talk about the impact of social
media. Let's talk a little bitabout that. The impact of social media
not only on just our youth,right, because we know that it is
ravaging through our youth, particularly inthe situation where during the COVID most of

(02:00):
our teenagers use found themselves but mostmost times by themselves in the house,
right there in the home, andthey're mostly on internet. So what is
the impact of social media? Sowhen you talk to some parents, some
person as well as fine when youtalk to others, they will literally give

(02:20):
you examples of how the Internet hasreally kind of played a bad role on
in the lives of their children.I remember when I was growing up right
and when internet was just failing new. What we did internet for, when
we used internet for what was completelydifferent from what is we used right now
for. Right back then, wehad games and games that are valient games,

(02:46):
just fun games that you allowed youto interact with other people in a
very healthy manner. We had platformsfor kids for children. We watched Bernie
and all kinds of stuff that wedid back then that right now it's a
little bit different social media right now, depending on the platform that you're talking

(03:07):
about, is you have a lotof not just violence, You have a
lot of people that are pulling peopledown. You are cyber bullying, I
mean all sorts of things that youcan imagine that we never went through that
now our children are going through.So it is incumbent upon parents to keep
an eye. I know that thatsome parents they've worked out, so they've

(03:29):
worked out, and they get holdand all they want to do is just
breathe, to be able to side, to be able to just be by
themselves for a minute. And sowhat they do is they leave their kids
on the internet for a long longtime. The average hours of that.
Some of these kids that I eventake care of talk to me about is

(03:50):
of further than book. You havekids that are on that are left allowed
to just stay on the internet fora whole day. You have some that
is like six hours a day,and you're wondering why their brains are being
battered by with information, disinformation,misinformation, things that are not even good.

(04:10):
You have situations where even kidnappers connectwith kids on the Internet and drop
them out of their homes. Theinternet, we used to be a very
very safe place, have now becomevery very unsafe. You have kids that
are being put down because of theway they look, and because of that,
they begin to develop eating disorders.You have kids right now that they're

(04:34):
wanting to be a part of agroup, and because of that, they
end up hooking up with I meanjust you can really imagine the kind of
people that they hook up with thatbecause of that, they beginning to experience
depression, They begin to experience anxiety, they begin to experience the eating disorder.

(04:54):
So many bad things that can happen, But here's the deal, there
are also great things that can happenbecause of the It's just that right now,
We're living a world right now whereif you're not careful and don't keep
an eye on what your kids arewatching, don't keep an eye or what
your kids are doing, you mightend up being one of the parents that

(05:14):
will regret not doing So, youhave kids that are sharing information that are
not even true, that are noteven real, and they're sharing in with
each other. And you have people, you have kids that have developed societal
thoughts that have actually attempted, evenon social media, to let adout everybody
to watch them attempted. This iswhat we have to contend with right now.

(05:39):
These are the things we have tocontend with. Then we have teachers
that are not given their permission tobe able to do and really teach.
So what do we have here?We have teachers that many people that are
dropping like flies, don't no longerwant to teach because they just don't know
what to teach, They don't knowwhat they're supposed to do, so that
they don't get, you know,bullied out of teaching. People are literally

(06:01):
being bullied out of teaching. Andyet at the same time, we have
parents that are keeping an eye ontheir kids at home eithern So what do
we have here. We have kidsthat are that are developing anger. Anger
are busts. We have kids thatare developing something that I call intermittent explosive

(06:23):
disorders. You have kids that aredeveloping eighteen disorders. You have kids that
are developing depression and anxiety. Youhave kids that right now that what they're
thinking about in suicidal thoughts. Andaddition, you even have kids that are
experiencing homocidal Can I say them again, homocidalization where where they go out and

(06:44):
stand by people, nobody touched them, and all they think about is how
to whack that person. Kids I'mtalking about kids. I'm talking about kids
that are below eighteen years old.I'm talking about kids that are even One
A particular one that I treated beforetold me that he's been having it since
he was five years old, butbecause his parents were in the middle of

(07:08):
divorce, they didn't pay good attentionto him, and he'd been having it.
And the fact that this kid turnedeighteen and had not even hurt somebody,
that is miracle in itself. Andwhen he turned eighteen, he sacked
the mother down and said, lookit, I'm eighteen years old. Now
I have a right to go seekmental health for myself. You have a

(07:30):
choice. You're either join me inthis journey or you don't if you don't
get out of my way. Becauseat eighteen now I'm no longer killed.
If I end up hurting somebody outthere, I'm no longer killed, I'm
gonna go. I'm gonna go toprison. So let me go get the
help. And thankfully the mother,even though she was scared, followed this

(07:51):
kid, This kid that I'm talkingabout now is over twenty two years old,
thriving because he sucked help and becausethe mother dared to stop. Yeah
a little bit late, but stilldid it, dared to stop her tracks
her business and began to pay attentionto what is going on with the kid.

(08:16):
So in social media harmful at thispoint right now, most times it
is, there are some that hedoesn't. Is all in how you use
it, even as adults, isall in how we use it. After
all, we see a lot ofadults now that are being upset, a
lot of adults that are getting wronginformation and they're making decisions, life decisions,

(08:39):
terrible life decisions on what is wrong, what is not true. Now
we have this little thing now that'scalled AI something artificial intelligence, which is
a little bit scary. I'm goingto talk about that some other time,
because I tell you one thing.The first the first time when I saw
it was on a show where acharacter wanted to make sure that his dad

(09:05):
does not marry this woman. Andso what did what did he do?
He used that artificial intelligence and copiedexactly the tone the voice of this woman.
And this woman was reporting, wasreporting these young men to the hum,
to the authorities for something. Andwhen the dad heard it, instead

(09:28):
of the dad to sit down andtry to find out is this true,
he acted on it and destroyed hisown life, destroy his marriage, destroyed
everything because of this artificial intelligence.So even though this is great, it's
a great it's a great true,but it's also scary because as we move,

(09:48):
as we move into elections in America, as we move into elections all
over the world, can you imaginehow this artificial intelligence can be hues if,
if, if our government, ifour people do not put a cap
on it. Right now, itcan be destructive, just like social media.

(10:13):
It was meant for good, butnow it is becoming destructive. So
my thing to write, my discussionto you today is to you to employ
your parents that you need to takeyou cannot. You cannot put your responsibility

(10:33):
and lay it at the feet ofa teacher. That teacher has is our
our own family too. You cannotlay at the feet of a school,
especially when you have suspected that somethingis going on, especially when you know
that foom, something is not quiteright about your child. You cannot put
it, lay it at the platformat the foot of a school because the

(10:58):
flank of the school was not therewhen you hmm, have that baby.
But I do understand too, therole of a two right. I understand
too, the role of a principle. I understand to the role of a
teacher who find something that is alittle bit not up to part with that
kid. It is their responsibility toreport it so that things can be done.

(11:24):
And after you've reported it, there'snothing else you can do. It
is now left for that parent todo what they need to do. So
parents, to your parents who aresitting up there and allowing your kids to
sit on social media for twenty fourseven, I'm urging you right now it
is time to crack down. Youdo the cracking down. Don't wait on

(11:48):
the politicians, don't wait on thegovernment. Don't wait on the school.
You did the crackdown. You didthe crackdown in your own home. I
had a twelve year old that startedsmoking, and guess what, I said,

(12:09):
how do you find out? Hesaid, well, I said,
where do you get your first one? They said, I got it from
that? I damn, mom,why are you're adults? And I cannot
frankly, I cannot say anything wherethat is because you are idols. It's
also important that we lay examples forour kids. If you know that you
don't want your kid to be smokingweak, then don't be smoking wey in

(12:30):
front of your kid. Yes,you're an adult, but don't be smoking
away. That's the same way evenwith social media. You have to learn,
we have to model go practices ofways that we can use social media
in front of our kids. SoI hope I'm touching somebody's life today.
I hope I'm making an impact insomebody's life today. There is danger on

(12:56):
social media if we choose to ignoreit. Answer next time, be inspired
with mode, be of sentimental value. Understand that you, my friend,
you are the hero in your lifestory. Do not allow anybody to rewrite
your story. Please like, like, Life, comment comment comments here my
