Deleting social media from my life?

[Jade]

I think you've made a wise decision.

Like you, I'm also a teenager. A few months ago, I deleted my Tumblr, Facebook, Google + accounts as well as all my old emails, most of my apps and half of the contacts in my phone. I also stopped reading online news, since it was too pointless and time consuming to continue. Best choice I ever made!

As far as tips go, I'd recommend finding some new hobbies that are rather time consuming, so that you don't have the opportunity to fall back into old habits. Maybe get outside a little more often, depending on how much you're out there already - and I would suggest that you don't take your phone with you everywhere unless you really need it.

Best of luck to you, and congrats on getting away from the social media - that can be quite hard to do in this day and age, especially with being a teenager. I hope you'll feel a little better now.
