Hi everyone! As an introduction, our names are Christine, Amy and Charlene. We are third year students reading for a Bachelor Degree of Arts in Communication Studies and Psychology at the University of Malta. This blog is part of a group project for the study unit Social Media and 21st Century Communications.

Our aim for this blog is to explore the relationship between social media and mental health by blogging about different topics. We would like to dive into topics such as online hate speech, trolling, stickiness, and their effects.

We also created an Instagram account which we are going to use as a platform to raise awareness about the effects of social media on mental health, along with motivational posts directed to individuals who are going through anything similar. Click here to access Byte of Emotion‘s Instagram account.
