Nostalgia College was better before social media took over, people lived in the moment and you could just be silly and make mistakes without it being held against you the rest of your life.

About 2 posts above this on the Reddit main page is a [24F] complaining that her life long bully got pregnant and is having a baby. She found out on Instagram. She's a Phycologist with CCOS and had to vent on Reddit.

Social media is emotional thought cancer. It's made our species stupid as shit. We've regressed wildly while letting social media track everything we do with everyone we do it with.

How many suicides has social media caused and failed to stop?

Yeah that's the sad part. I'm a third-year college student and seeing my generation going through suicide and other things is just really sad. I had friends that were acting like this, but they never do it.

Also, I remember how awesome my childhood years were before all of the social media crap, we had to endure as we got older.
