According to the questions from the social media disorder scale I would score a 0. I don’t participate in social media at all, so scoring a 0 makes complete sense.

The items on the scale are interesting because it shows what symptoms can be when people are using social media at an unhealthy rate. For example, the question “Have you regularly felt dissatisfied because you wanted to spend more time on social media?” is illuminating because it shows how some people may feel when not using it.

The world data is eye-opening because there are some pre conceived notions about who is using the social media the most, and who is being affected. The data about who is at risk for cyberbullying around the world is interesting to be mostly european countries. Then also the statistic that for the most part, girls are at a higher risk than boys. Through a social science lens, different cultures may interact in particular ways to each other.
