What is the correlation between social media and depression?

Hello everyone! I'm Nadya and I’m a first-year student at University of New York in Prague. Please, do not judge strictly, as it is my first blog :) I will be focusing on the correlation between depression and social media. Although these two subjects are completely different, they both go hand in hand. New studies show how teenagers are now more likely to get depressed the more they use social media such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. 

Why is it important? I believe that by focusing my blog post on this subject matter I will be able to educate and inform everyone about how social media can be both serious and dangerous.
