Social media isn't all bad...
Social media isn’t evil, but since we often use it to replace real relationships and community, its harms frequently outweigh its positives.

17 of the 105 student’s in my son’s graduating class transferred to a different college after their first semester.
Why?
I believe it was FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). The “grass looked greener” somewhere else. And I’m sure a few weeks after transferring to their new school, they realized that they’d been duped by social media’s highlight reel.
Social media is the biggest instigator of FOMO for a college student (let’s be real…for adults too) and is possibly one of the biggest destroyers of mental health.
Here are some topics to discuss with your kid as they navigate social media in college:
- It’s smart to set social media boundaries. Having a timer on their social media is a great idea. Get in and get out. I had one of my boys get rid of it all together his freshman year because of his mental health.
Covenant Eyes is also a great tool for anyone struggling with pornography boundaries.
- Remember it's a highlight reel. People only portray their best, filtered self on social media.
- What you post sticks with you forever. Your future employer will most likely check out your social media so talk to your child about discretion.
- True bonds are created in person. Connection on social media is not a true connection and doesn’t develop deep friendships. It’s time to build memories, not watch others build theirs!
- Comparison steals joy! Unfollow people who make you feel bad about yourself, or who you compare yourself against, or anyone who causes you to create unhealthy thoughts after viewing their profile.
Social media isn’t all bad. It can be a great connector and teaching tool. We just have to know how to use it in a way to build our mental health, not destroy it!

There was a recent post in my neighborhood Facebook group that read: In search of a unicorn: Remote, work-from-home, part-time job Make my own hours Not MLM Not cold calling I've done Door Dash before but don't want to put any more wear/tear on my car. I'm an efficient typist. I have 13+ years of self-taught graphic design (Photoshop & Illustrator) experience. I'm tech-savvy, creative, and I learn quickly. Any ideas? It made me wonder why Network Marketing/MLM jobs get such a bad rap? I get it, I used to avoid the lady at my church who always wanted me to have a home party for her. And, I said “no” to all the people who introduced me to their opportunities. A few bad apples might have left a bad taste in your mouth too. However, I remember reading a book about Mary Kay Ash when I was in elementary school. The business she created allowed her to be present for her kids while also building a business. That was something I always desired. And the business model she created also made sense. It was a lot of people coming together to do a little which compounded into something big. As a stay at home mom, I was getting tired of being strapped financially and I wanted some play money. I didn’t want to work outside of the home because my kids were my priority and I wanted to be fully available to them. I was approached by my BFF about a business. At first, I said no and began to avoid her like the lady at my church. But, then I started to become curious about the business opportunity. I’d seen how well the products worked for my BFF and her husband. And, I remembered Mary Kay Ash’s network marketing business. This business opportunity wasn’t selling makeup, pills, or a face cream but a lifestyle change that would create a ripple effect for those who used the products. It was what I personally needed for my health and it made sense. I can tell you the truth about network marketing. It is the best business model I have found for women who want to work their own hours, has a small start-up cost, and allows them to leverage their time by working as a team. It takes hard work, diligence, and being coachable. You are the type who isn’t afraid to try something new and wants to create a ripple effect that can make an impact on generations to come. Let’s make a lasting impact together. More information about how you can join me in changing lives can be found here .
