i hate social media

do it! i've got no socials except spacehey and tumblr (and i maybe wanna make a neocities ahaha) and it feels so much better. fuck all of 'em

Why 18?  Why wait?  Just curious.

Bro Tumblr sucks now lol.

Most social media is ass.

Reject modernity, return to monke

Now thats cool beans

Why wait until you turn 18?  The sooner you delete them,  the better,  especially if you still have more than a year to go until your 18th. Modern social media is quite harmful to young minds, with its effects worsening the younger you are.

I agree the only issue is I feel I need it for college which sucks if there is anyway or anyone who can advice me please help me I have been trying to break these shakles for to long.

Wingle - For college, I used either Teams (which my college required) or Slack. You can always use Telegram. Let's keep things in their place. College stuff will be in the college area, while personal stuff will be in the personal area.

About the OP, don't wait! Just do it! It's better if you don't put it off or it will be harder to do it in the future.

I have very few social media and I mostly use spacehey or telegram to keep in touch with a few people.

I mostly use my laptop for more serious things (I can't use my phone for certain things because it gets on my nerves). 
.

For entertainment, I recommend Tumblr (it's going well these days. Much quieter.) and Pinterest. And just that. Sometimes I read some blogs, sometimes I try to see what's going on on BitView or just have a random chat on c.ai. 

Here's a freebie:

What does your age have to do with being able to get out of social media? Do your parents force you to have social media? haha

I don't blame you, it's too greedy and toxic. I'm gonna try and leave Reddit, Discord, and Youtube, at least for a while. I've managed to quit Roblox (Which ik is a game not social media but its still an MMO with social aspects), so I'm hoping I can do the same for other sites (Ik for a fact Youtube is gonna be the hardest, but I got music radios and Bitview/Odysee to hold me off.)

I only have Discord, a small YouTube channel and WhatsApp (cuz my family obligates me, but I wish I was using none of the Meta apps). Deleted my Facebook and Instagram, I knew I never needed them. I wasted so much time on Instagram during the pandemic. TikTok and Twitter are equal to fentanyl

Maybe I'm younger than you, but I've already deleted all my social media and now I'm on a journey to try and get off YouTube once and for all, and yes, I feel better about getting rid of all social media as well as videos shorts and other trendy stuff and toxic content.
