I think a big difference is social media causes people to constantly compare their lives to people's Facebook posts, which are usually people just sharing stuff that makes them look like their life is amazing. I know when I was in high school I compared myself to others and felt inadequate even without Facebook in my pocket. Now kids can just mindlessly scroll through a highlight reel of their peers and feel inadequate wherever they are.
