Social media—a place with its ups and down, a place where people are allowed to share, to create, and to express themselves—impacts many lives around the world including Anika’s. She stated, “It impacts me and several others like me by providing an escape from reality but it also keeps all of us from doing the things that matter more and keeps us from being productive in our day. Also, the things we see on social media can sometimes make us question ourselves and certain life decisions we make.”
