How Does Social Media Cause Isolation

Simply Gone
Does social media cause isolation? Such a simple question to answer, or at least you think at first glance and first thought. Sure there are tons of reasons why people use social media such as: sharing family vacation photos with relatives, constantly wanting approval from others, finding friends and things that help you through everything, or just simply distracting themselves.
First off is how it allows people to find friends and things that help them through everything. In our world today some things people enjoy doing are frowned upon. But with social media you can find the people that enjoy those things as well and you can connect with them. That's one of the good things about it. Someone might be picked on or bullied for
It sometimes distracts us from doing the things we should do which isn't exactly a good thing. But, it also distract us from things we don't want to know and don’t want to realize. Terrible things happen every day. We just don't want to see those things. We would rather believe that the world is perfect in every way then do something about the things we know are problems, the things we know shouldn't be happening but we don't have the guts to step up to control them. As I mentioned earlier with the story of the rape victim. She was looking for comfort in a different place which is good and she found it, but there are tons other different things. People are raped, mentally and physically abused, killed, casted away and broken down, or even tortured. But, we use social media to distract ourselves so we don't need to realize that these things happen and our “pretty, perfect, little” world. And the people that these things happen to, where do you think they go? Where do you think they look to get away from the truth? What do you think happens when an extremely homophobic father find out his only son is gay? He calls him a disgrace that he's no longer a part of their family, he brings them shame, and then father removes his belt and lashes the boys back with it. All because he couldn't accept the fact was his son likes boys, and every day when the boy came home he would endure more beating as his father yelled “are you still gay?” and more things I don't wish to mention. He would tell his son “ If you tell anyone I'll kill you, and no one will care because you are just another faggot who people wish to see strung up in a tree and beaten to death anyway. No one likes you and no one will ever love you”. So this boy distracted himself from his terrible life in that house by drawing and writing stories and posting them on social media. Though he received criticism there was more love for his work
