Rebuilding Self-Esteem After Addiction to Social Media | Sarayu Chityala | TEDxMarkhamPublicLibrary

Have you ever felt sad after checking out your favourite social media site? Sarayu explains why that might happen to us sometimes, and how to overcome false feelings of inadequacy. Sarayu Chityala is a 15 year old teenager in grade 10 at Bur Oak Secondary School in Markham. She has had many negative experiences dealing with social media and society’s actions. But she overcame these experiences to become the confident and positive young woman that she is today. She now speaks about how social media can lead to lower self-esteem, the importance of being true to yourself, and explains why listening to society’s negative words is not the key to a happy life.
