Helping Teenagers navigate Social Media safely

Bullying is a massive issue that our teenagers suffer while using social media. In most cases both the bully and the victim are acting in unconscious ways trying to cope with their own internal emotional turmoil. We target to identify these activities on both ends and help both the bully and the victim to manage the situation by raising awarness and confronting the situation, increasing their emotional intelligence and helping them build tools to manage the daily life challenges.

Teenagers express in various papers and polls that they generally feel worse after using Social Media. They spend an average of 7h a day scrolling over content and engaging with friends and influencers. Socrates will be there to raise awarness on what is the reason they are consuming Social Media and also what are they getting from it, so they can self-manage and be aware of how it is affecting their emotions. Social Media can be an extremely useful tool with many positive impact, if used properly. We are here to help improve their use to maximize the value teenagers get from it.

The addrenalin rush of sharing and consuming inappropriate content generates an addiction to it that changes the brain shape and can be the begining of a self-destroying spiral. This can be stopped by understanding how the brain and the hormones work at the moment of consumption to increase the capabilities of the teenager to manage the addictive effects. Socrates will never judge or critizice by the type of content that is being consumed, we understand and support the teenager at the exact point where he is in the personality development and we will provide support, understanding and a tool to raise awareness on why that specific content is being consumed to give the teenager the chance to understand herself better and bring in the possibility of a change, made freely without blame or coercion.
