Hi! Sarah,
This is a big reason why so many people worry about the influence (影响) of social media (社交媒体) on teenagers. Feeling worried and lonely as a result of looking through your phone is quite ordinary.
Quite a lot of people post their pictures or videos on social media. Most of them share the best parts of their lives. You must keep in mind that they do so to share good feelings with others. It's hard to find people sharing their bad moments,like feeling stressed (有压力的) about their home life or shame (羞愧) after failing a test.
If seeing these videos and photos still makes you down,stop going online for some time. Do something that makes you happy. You don't need to impress anyone else.

亲爱的帕特,
每次我浏览手机时,都会看到有人正享受着他们的快乐时光。当我错过朋友们正在经历的有趣或重要的事情时,我会感到焦虑和孤独。我该如何避免这种情况呢?

#### 答
嗨!萨拉,
这就是很多人担心社交媒体对青少年产生影响的一个重要原因。因为浏览手机而感到焦虑和孤独是很常见的。
很多人会在社交媒体上发布他们的照片或视频。他们中的大多数人都会分享自己生活中最美好的部分。你必须记住,他们这样做是为了和别人分享美好的感受。很难找到有人会分享他们的糟糕时刻,比如对家庭生活感到压力,或者考试不及格后的羞愧。
如果看这些视频和照片仍然让你心情低落,那就暂时停止上网。做一些让你开心的事情。你不需要给任何人留下深刻印象。
