Are you feeling unhappy？ Even though you have lots of friends on social media， do you feel alone2？ The problem might be your social media. A study in the United Kingdom learned something you should think about.
你感到不開心吗？即使你在社交媒体上有很多朋友，你是否也会感到孤独？问题可能出在你的社交媒体上。英国的一项研究涉及到了你应该考虑的这件事。
Just one hour a day on your social media can make you feel worse about your life.
每天在社交媒体上只不过一个小时就可能会使你的生活变得更糟。
That wasn’t the only study. The University of Michigan found that the more young people use social media， the worse they felt. The Brown University of Public Health had the same findings. Other studies can be seen all over the Internet.
那不是唯一的研究。密歇根大学发现，年轻人使用社交媒体越多，他们越难过。布朗公共卫生大学有相同的发现，其他研究也充斥着互联网。
Why does time on social media make kids unhappy？ No one knows for sure， but there are a few ideas：
为什么把时间花在社交媒体上会让孩子们难过？没有人可以肯定，但人们有一些看法：
1. Cyberbullying3.
1. 网络欺凌。
Not all kids are bullied online， but when they are the damage4 can be hard.
并非所有孩子在网上都会受到欺凌，但是当他们受到伤害时，这伤害可能会很大。
2. Thinking that everyone else has a better life.
2. 认为其他人过上更好的生活。
Some people believe that when you see friends with exciting pictures and posts， you will think that they have more fun than you do. You’ll then feel bad about yourself. Jealousy5 is making things more complicated6 when you think about online posts.
有些人认为，当你看到朋友发令人激动的照片和帖子的时候，你会认为他们比你过得更开心。然后，你会为自己感到难过，但是当你想到网上的帖子时，嫉妒这种情绪让情况更加复杂了。
Remember， people post to make them look good. They do not post pictures that show them looking bad. You could be jealous of a life that isn’t how it looks online.
请记住，人们发帖是为了让他们看起来不错，不会发布让他们看起来不好的照片。你可能嫉妒的是和网上显示出来的并不一致的那种生活
3. Time spent online gives you less time in the real world.
3. 在线花费的时间减少了你在现实世界中的时间。
The real world makes you move your body， which makes you feel better. That is because your brain makes “happy” chemicals7 when you exercise.
现实世界会让你的身体运动起来，这会让你感觉更好。原因是运动时大脑会产生“快乐”的化学物质。
Also， people feel great satisfaction8 when they reach a goal9 in the real world （like sitting with a friend who needs to talk or seeing a great new view after hiking10 to the top of a hill）.
同样，当人们在现实世界中达到目标时，他们会感到非常满足（例如，与需要聊聊的朋友坐下来畅谈，或者在爬上山顶看到新的风景）。
When you spend time online， you miss out on all the benefits11 of living in the real world. That can make you feel bad.
当你花时间上网时，你会错失生活在现实世界中的所有好处。那会让你感到难过。
Before you say that these studies are just another way adults try to control12 what kids do， think about this： Everything bad that happens to children because they spend time on social media happens to adults， too. When your dad seems really tired after a hard day on the job or your mom has problems with a project13 she’s working on， you should get them to take a break.
在你说这些研究只是成年人尝试控制孩子行为的另一种方式之前，请考虑以下问题：孩子们把时间花在社交媒体上所产生的所有不良后果也会影响成年人。当你的父亲在一天的辛苦工作后看上去很疲惫，或者你的母亲正在从事的项目出了问题时，你应该让他们休息一下。
When you are old and watch over what your grandchildren are doing， there will still be studies about why you are not happy. Some of those studies will blame14 computers and whatever new technology15 is in your hands. One hundred years from now， the best advice will still be the same： Put down your phone and go to tell someone.
当你老了，注视着孙子的所作所为时，仍然会有关于你为何不快乐的研究。其中一些研究将归咎于计算机以及你手中的任何新技术。从现在开始的一百年里，最好的建议仍然是相同的：放下电话，然后告诉别人你的想法。
