Danny Bowman, 19, posed for 200 selfies in just one day and nearly overdosed on pills because none of them was perfect.
The teen, from Newcastle, is now warning others about the dangers of mobiles.
‘I was constantly in search of taking the perfect selfie and when I realised I couldn’t I wanted to die,’ he told the Daily Mirror.
‘I lost my friends, my education, my health and almost my life.’
Addiction to taking selfies is apparently increasingly recognised as a ‘serious problem’ by psychiatrists.
‘It’s not a vanity issue,’ said Dr David Veal, whose clinic helped coax Danny away from his iPhone.
NA WA! imagine this guy actually dying from the attempted suicide and getting to heaven’s gate and an angel asks him ‘how you take reach here?’ he answers, ‘I couldn’t do it anymore, I took my life’ then the angel lands him a dirty slap that leaves a dent in his left chic and is like ‘commot for here now before another one land you for where you stand so’. There are people on earth who haven’t eaten for days and those who are paralysed yet they still find the will to live. Yet you give up because according to you tour face ‘worwor’! Smh!!! @ least he’s now doing something positive with his life!
Hahaha, all these type of addictions all they need is a solid dirty slap to restore them back to default settings.
This kind of addiction is rapidly increasing espcially amongst youths, though I didn’t think it has gotten to this level. I think all this is sourced from a feeling of low self esteem. If children are taught that their utmost values are virtues on the inside and not just physical looks, I think it will help. May God salvage our generation ooo
