Even though social isolation may make someone more resilient, I don't think there's any good advantage to it. You can study better if you're not alone, and these relationships give you knowledge that'll be used in the workplace years later, when you need to manage a team. You can get proper resilience from bad relationships, not the lack thereof. And, well, the study also said that it can lead to stuff like alcohol misuse, which is not cool at all.
This is mostly another consequence of social media use by kids and teenagers. Why are 14 year-olds so worried about being attractive anyway?

- sanderjd 3y agoYeah I was 14 way before anyone had heard the word "instagram", and people were pretty obsessed with being attractive as a means to being able to express and experiment with budding sexuality. Social media seems to make this worse, but mostly when this stuff comes up I just think "same as it ever was...".
- poisonborz 3y agoThey shouldn't be worried, but it puts a lot of unwanted attention on them. They start to see it as a measurement and a prime metric to be judged by. I saw a lot of otherwise magnificent personalities bend because of how groups pressed them into roles.
