Fairies today are the stuff of children's stories, little magical people with wings, often shining with
light. Typically pretty and female, like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, they usually use their magic to do small
things and are mostly friendly to humans.
We owe many of our modern ideas about fairies to Shakespeare and stories from the 18th and
19th centuries. Although we can see the origins of fairies as far back as the Ancient Greeks, we can see
similar creatures in many cultures. The earliest fairy-like creatures can be found in the Greek idea that
trees and rivers had spirits called dryads and nymphs. Some people think these creatures were originally
the gods of earlier, pagan religions that worshipped nature. They were replaced by the Greek and Roman
gods, and then later by the Christian God, and became smaller, less powerful figures as they lost importance.
Another explanation suggests the origin of fairies is a memory of real people, not spirits. So, for
example, when tribes with metal weapons invaded land where people only used stone weapons, some of
the people escaped and hid in forests and caves. Further support for this idea is that fairies were thought
to be afraid of iron and could not touch it. Living outside of society, the hiding people probably stole 1
food and attacked villages. This might explain why fairies were often described as playing tricks on
humans. Hundreds of years ago, people actually believed that fairies stole new babies and replaced them
with a 'changeling' – a fairy baby – or that they took new mothers and made them feed fairy babies with their milk.
While most people no longer believe in fairies, only a hundred years ago some people were very
willing to think they might exist. In 1917, 16-year-old Elsie Wright took two photos of her cousin, nine-
year-old Frances Griffiths, sitting with fairies. Some photography experts thought they were fake, while
others weren't sure. But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories,
believed they were real. He published the original pictures, and three more the girls took for him, in a
magazine called The Strand, in 1920. The girls only admitted the photos were fake years later in 1983,
created using pictures of dancers that Elsie copied from a book.

Since it’s a relatively new technology, there’s little research to establish the long-term consequences,
good or bad, of social media use. However, multiple studies have found a strong link between heavy
social media and an increased risk for depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm, and even suicidal
thoughts. The following are negative experiences that social media may promote.
Even if you know that images you’re viewing on social media are manipulated, they can still make
you feel insecure about how you look or what’s going on in your own life. Similarly, we’re all aware that
other people tend to share just the highlights of their lives, rarely the low points that everyone
experiences. But that doesn’t lessen those feelings of envy and dissatisfaction when you’re scrolling
through a friend’s airbrushed photos of their tropical beach holiday or reading about their exciting new promotion at work.
While fear of missing out (FOMO) has been around far longer than social media, sites such as
Facebook and Instagram seem to exacerbate feelings that others are having more fun or living better lives
than you are. The idea that you’re missing out on certain things can impact your self-esteem, trigger
anxiety, and fuel even greater social media use, much like an addiction. FOMO can compel you to pick
up your phone every few minutes to check for updates, or compulsively respond to each and every alert
—even if that means taking risks while you’re driving, missing out on sleep at night, or prioritizing social
media interaction over real world relationships.
A study at the University of Pennsylvania found that high usage of Facebook, Snapchat, and
Instagram increases rather decreases feelings of loneliness. Conversely, the study found that reducing
social media usage can actually make you feel less lonely and isolated and improve your overall wellbeing.
Human beings need face-to-face contact to be mentally healthy. Nothing reduces stress and boosts
your mood faster or more effectively than eye-to-eye contact with someone who cares about you. The
more you prioritize social media interaction over in-person relationships, the more you’re at risk for
developing or exacerbating mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.
About 10 percent of teens report being bullied on social media and many other users are subjected
to offensive comments. Social media platforms such as Twitter can be hotspots for spreading hurtful
rumors, lies, and abuse that can leave lasting emotional scars.
Sharing endless selfies and all your innermost thoughts on social media can create an unhealthy self
centeredness and distance you from real-life connections.
