Many students are not college-ready. They don't want to read, write, or follow instructions.

I think it can depend on who's using it.

Personally, I live in a city with no natural community. I'm married but have no family here and only a couple acquaintances. I tried to quit Instagram a couple years ago but just ended up more isolated than I already am.

I think this type of situation is common for a lot of people. Social media is the glue that ties us to friends in distant places, which is why it's successful.

If you have actual community available to you quitting is much more doable.

1)Define recent "1 day" "1 week" "1 year" "10 years".

2)Univesity students have 3 main issues broadly speaking imho.

  2a.Future Prospects - What are the trends in the Job Market/economy?

  2b.Present Well-being - Are they studying in a healthy environment?

  2c.Past Experiences - Are they well adjusted/groomed for university life?

My hypothesis is that any missing links might cause a noticable decline in sociological and psychological evaluation of a "indiviual student" .

For the general student population,You can find literature from Experts who are far more competent than me since various other variables might also be linked which I am not aware of.
