Demi Lovato Says Distance From Social Media Sites Is Key to Better Mental Health: Is It Good to Take Breaks From Social Media?

In my opinion taking a break from the social media is better for celebrities. Look at Demi Lovato, she took a break from her acting and singing career and now she is healthy again! It is good for her to be healthy again and I think another teen star who needs to take a break is Justin Bieber!

They have enough time to make a well thought about what the media will write.

Heck yes those people that are on the internet 24/7 need to get a life..

You can really get hooked and it becomes an unhealthy obsession.

everybody needs "A LIFE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have already taken that step. FaceBook is a BITCH!!!

This is not real.

Lay off facebook. And get some actual face time with real people.

because i know i definitely do.

It's not only good, but neccessary. Everyone should set aside time to recharge or rest.

I just avoid Facebook for the most part because it annoys me, and honestly, it does add stress to my life... I don't need it.

I don't think that a person can take 10,000 steps a day and text safely at the same time. Yay or nay?

that's why i deleted my facebook :D

Yes before Facebook, everyone was deranged. Who's Demi Lovato, and why does she not have a real name?

Though I'm not sure why Demi Lovato is making such a broad and general statement.

Yes specially with all the trolls that abound in such groups specially YouTube

Unplug people... it's ok.

tbh no, because usually themedia doesn;t really care about the celebeities. They care about how famous they are and the latest gossip they can dish up on them, and it's pathetic. Imagine your face plastered on the face of McDonald's. I mean you find youself catering to big name brands. they don't realize that they are just people w have their own problems- but with that said, they can b disowned, or deemed as evil. Demi Levato...I never really cared for her, but I found out that she cut herself, and it was sad. The stress of trying to kepp your name n bright lights, while also thinking that you're fat is horrible. a star can't confide with someone as easliy. For them it's (don't ask don't tell) helter skelter because they are aware of what it can do to their career

Social Media are like a brain washing machine. The more you use them the stupider you get.

Facebook, Twitter, anywhere your life can be over-exposed.

Of course. It's good to take breaks from anything when it gets too hectic and stressful.

I say yes despite the fact that I've been on the computer for three days straight.

hopefully people have at least one person they can confide in in "the real world"

Good for her. Better to be outside and away from social media than to be on your phone or tablet updating statuses or tweeting about every little detail. Save it for after.

I take the occasional month long break from social networking

Actually it is common sense to take breaks from the internet. Duh

Of course it is.

Have you ever run into this awesome site to use when you seem to be feeling much too eager to check your social media?

Of course! I mean I believe it's good to be able to connect easier with your friends, family, other people, etc. on social networking sites. However it's also healthy to get a break from them every once in a while.

If you're a celebrity most defiantly. Because keep reading and hearing what people have to say about you and critiquing you can drive you crazy, so its better to stay away for awhile.

Demi Lovato have got the right idea!!

I don't care much for too many social networking sites. SH is the only one I'm on.

Because then it encourages you to go outside!

One of the smartest things ANY Disney Tween has ever said. Go Demi! I wish her luck on The X-Factor this Fall!
