A new study, which was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that heavy use of platforms such as Facebook and Snapchat was associated with feelings of being separated from society among young adults—basically the opposite of what we are led to believe.
Study co-author Brian Primack and his team surveyed 1,787 U. S. adults aged 19 to 32 and asked them about their usage of 11 social media platforms. They also asked participants questions related to social isolation, such as how often they felt left out. The participants who reported spending the most time on social media—over two hours a day—had twice the odds of perceived（感知到的）social isolation than those who said they spent a half-hour per day or less on the same sites.
According to Tom Kersting, psychotherapist and author of Disconnected, the key to understanding these results lies in our understanding of “connections.” “Humans are social —emotional beings, meaning that it is in our DNA to be connected, face-to-face, with other humans,” he told Reader's Digest. “Although people think being on social media all the time makes them 'connected' to others, they are actually 'disconnected,' because the more time one spends behind a screen, the less time one spend face-to-face.”
“Part of the issue of loneliness is that the majority of people who use social media aren't just posting, they are also viewing,” Kersting continued. “They are spending a lot of time looking at everyone else's posts, where they are and what they are doing. The constant exposure to everyone else's 'perfect' life experiences causes feelings of being left out.”
So what's the answer? It's simple, says Kersting. “The solution to this is resisting the temptation to look at everyone else's life. Just focus on your own life, where you're going, what you are grateful for, and what you want to accomplish in this world.”

Subject | Exam | Class work | Comments |
English | 59 | 61 | Simon has reached a satisfactory standard but now needs to apply himself with more determination. |
Mathematics | 77 | 85 | Sound work and progress throughout the year. Well done! |
History | 46 | 53 | A disappointing exam result. He is unable to give attention to this subject for long. |
Chemistry | 78 | 85 | His obvious ability in the subject was not fully reflected in his exam work, but I have high hopes for him nevertheless. |
Physics | 86 | 94 | An excellent term's performance. He goes from strength to strength. A born scientist, I feel. |
Biology | 57 | 60 | This time next year he will be taking the "O" Level exam. He needs to concentrate on（全神贯注于） the work, not on class conversation. |
French | 41 | 46 | Clearly he didn't revise. His general attitude is far too casual. |
Physical Education | / | 31 | Weak. It's time he exercised his body more and his voice less. He should try to work with a team. |
FORM TEACHER'S REMARKS Basically satisfactory work and progress though he will now have realized, I hope, that in certain subject areas he needs to make speedy improvement. HEADMASTER I shall pay attention to his progress in his weaker subjects though his success in the sciences is most pleasing. | |||
