Social media use is more prevalent amongst teens than ever before. In 2016, it was estimated that 90% of all teen girls use social media every single day; simultaneously, these girls are seeing their friends in person less and less. The more screen time young women have every day, the more likely they are to struggle with mood disorders such as depression or anxiety. It's no surprise that Alexis Spence struggled so much from using Instagram at a young age. Her family is now suing Meta because of everything she went through.
