But on the contrary side I think that the perception that social media gives young people about their success is very wrong about, is very wrong and can and I think has harmed a lot of young people.

I think social media plays a really important role in young people's perception of success because they are significantly affected by social media's input and output, as that's all they see every day.

Social media presents the idea that success can be easily achieved, as if it's just one, two, three, and you have success by the end of the week, but that's not how it really is. I think social media gives false hopes to young people who genuinely believe that. Personally, I would not believe that I can achieve success in just one week, one month, or even a year.

That's the reality of success, and it's important for young people to understand this.
