    1. More exposure to fked up world events (like Gaza, Ukraine, lack of climate action and so on) leads to one being depressed of course.

    What should I do if I live somewhere where fucked up event happens now? Or what kid in Belgorod/Odessa should do?

    1. In my experience, faceless trolls are much worse than in person bullies.

    People have different experiences. Mine is opposite. It happens.

      Suffer. Studies like these are American/European centric in the first place. Their sample size never includes other countries (not because the researchers are evil lmao, but because they want to isolate this “phone factor”). A kid in Odessa is most likely suffering from the war today rather than suffering from the effects of Instagram.
