As time spent on social media increases, self-esteem worsens. And young people especially are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety because of it.
But, surprisingly, 40% of young people actually look to social media for mental health resources.
We explored this tension with our new campaign film for
@maybelline's Brave Together initiative: bringing the two sides of social media to life.
Reassuring young people that, while social media can often add to our lives, it can start to have a negative impact on your mental health.
It’s okay to reach out, and you can seek support from Ditch The Label - the internet’s safe space to go for support when social media stops feeling good.
A big thanks to our production partners at
@spindlefilms or bringing it to life.
