New Study Shows That Social Media Can Hurt Relationships

Most of us would probably find this a no-brainer, but there is a new study that shows that while social media can help connect us, it can also cause some relationships to grow apart.  Psychologists are saying that when social lives and social media intertwine it can create jealousy.

This new study ranks the ways that stress can be caused.  The biggest reason is sharing too much information on your profile page and coming in second is tagging an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend in a picture.  In the past, it was a whole lot easier for couples to keep secrets from one another, but now we all must get used to the idea of less privacy.

In my opinion, I think that this study is kind of pointless because we should all know this by now anyways.  This just shows us that we all need to be careful about what we are posting online because we never know who will see it and what kind of trouble it will get you into with your friends or significant other.

  1. I agree with your opinion because I too believe people should be careful as to what they post. If something is a secret, it shouldn't be on Facebook. Just because something happens it doesn't automatically appear on Facebook. If you post something to Facebook by accident, it should be deleted right away.
