The impact of social media on mental health is complex and multifaceted. Steffy Moreno's experiences highlight the need for a critical analysis of social media's effects on mental health. While social media can provide social support and self-expression, it can also foster social comparison and unrealistic expectations. To mitigate the negative effects of social media on mental health, individuals, parents, and policymakers must take a proactive approach.

This paper draws on the social comparison theory (Festinger, 1954) and the concept of online identity (Goffman, 1959). Social comparison theory suggests that individuals evaluate themselves by comparing themselves to others. Social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook provide a curated view of others' lives, fostering unrealistic comparisons and promoting feelings of inadequacy (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010). The concept of online identity suggests that individuals present a curated version of themselves online, which can lead to feelings of disconnection and isolation (Goffman, 1959).
