“Everyone at school posts perfect photos, and I feel like I can’t keep up. Sometimes I delete my posts if they don’t get enough likes. How do I stop caring so much about that stuff?”
Kia Ora Tahlia,
I have read your email very carefully about your social media situation. I know you are a stranger but I was also like this, I would envy my friends for their followers or likes, even if it was their family that was liking my friends post. I know a couple ways to overcome this. Firstly, sometimes being popular isn’t important as long as YOU know you are perfect then that’s fine. Secondly, everyone is beautiful in their own way so just be yourself and just know likes and followers ain’t everything. If you are still feeling worried and need some additional support around this I suggest you contact your school counsellor who will have some great strategies to help you.
Kind Regards Khadyn.
