Back to you singer further admitted that social media platforms would make her depressed and make her feel not so good about herself looking at her body differently and along those lines.
She feels that social media was a threat to specifically to her generation. She further adds that the young boys and girls now lack their voice, thus making them prone to bullying.
Gomez, we could not agree more on this seeing how spending time for your self instead of being on social media makes you reflect more on yourself.
