A HEARTBROKEN sister has told how her social media obsessed teen sibling who took her own life thought she "wasn't good enough unless she was getting likes".

Chloe's mum, Clair, 44, said she blamed social media "a lot for what has happened."
She told the Newcastle Chronicle: "The impact it has, especially on younger people, can be devastating. Social media took over Chloe's life - whether that be Snapchat or Facebook.
"She struggled socially from being at school so she didn't work. Social media was her way of getting through the day. She didn't go out a lot.

Chloe was beautiful, but she didn't see that. She cared so much about how people saw her. She would post a picture on social media and want all her family to like it. If it wasn't good enough she'd remove it."

This is so fucked up tbh, she looks like such a qt that just looking at some of her pictures you would have never thought that she was a hikikimori NEET. I never realized how much validation people got from likes and social media or how it mattered so much to some.

What is with 'Likes' to begin with and who the heck thought it would have been a good idea? Since it was introduced I never felt the need to like peoples shit besides for Youtube which i just use as a way to favorite/bookmark videos for viewing next time (instead of actually favoriting videos).
