Social media was meant to bring us closer, but for so many of us, it’s done the opposite. Behind the selfies and filtered stories, there’s a reality that’s hard to ignore: social media often leaves us feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and even unsafe. Let’s take a moment to look at the real numbers that reveal the challenges we face—and why InPower is here to create the change we all deserve.
The Problem in Numbers
59% of teens have been bullied or harassed online. Over half of all teens are dealing with the relentless cruelty of cyberbullying. Social media is supposed to be a place where we express ourselves, but when people fear judgment, it’s impossible to truly be open. These digital spaces have become anything but safe.
70% of young adults (ages 18-24) say social media makes them feel anxious or depressed. It’s hard to live authentically when we’re bombarded with images of “perfect” bodies, relationships, and lifestyles. The pressure to fit into these unrealistic ideals leaves many feeling inadequate. No one should have to measure their worth in likes or feel like they’re never enough.
High social media use is linked to lower empathy and emotional intelligence. We’re constantly online, but the more we scroll, the harder it seems to truly connect. Social media has encouraged superficial interactions rather than meaningful conversations—leaving us feeling lonelier, even in a crowded feed. More likes, more followers, but less real connection.
74% of LGBTQIA+ individuals report experiencing harassment online. For many, social media is a place to find community, but for LGBTQIA+ individuals, it's often a hostile space. Facing discrimination and hate speech, it's hard to express yourself when every post feels like a risk.
Why InPower Is Different
We see these numbers, and we know we can do better. InPower is more than just another social media app—it’s a revolution in how we connect, support, and uplift each other. It’s a space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly seen. Here’s how:
A Safe Space for True Connection: Imagine a community where kindness is the rule, not the exception. InPower makes this possible with features like three-factor verification to keep our community genuine and secure. No fake accounts, no harassment—just real people making real connections. And when mistakes happen, we educate, we don’t alienate. Growth comes from learning, not banning.
Support, Not Just Numbers: Traditional social media often reduces our worth to likes and comments. InPower values your journey—your growth, your strength, and your resilience. With expert-led groups guiding you, live discussions, and a wealth of educational resources, we empower you to be your best self. Instead of scrolling aimlessly, you’re connecting meaningfully.
No More Unrealistic Comparisons: At InPower, there’s no pressure to be perfect. We celebrate authenticity—your real stories, struggles, and victories. Here, you’ll find others who are willing to show up as their true selves too. Imagine a community where people are lifting each other up, not tearing each other down. That’s what real connection looks like.

We embrace inclusivity and support for all, ensuring that every individual is valued, respected, and loved. We’re building a space where your story matters.

Decreased Rates of Cyberbullying: By focusing on empathy and emotional intelligence, we’re not just moderating behaviour—we’re reshaping it from the ground up. When people learn kindness, harassment rates drop. Together, we’re rewriting the rules.
Improved Mental Health: Being part of a supportive community can reduce anxiety and depression by up to 40%. By connecting you with like-minded individuals who care, InPower is changing what it means to belong.
Increased Empathy and Connection: Our courses, workshops, and expert-led groups help foster a community that understands each other deeply. The result? Deeper, more meaningful relationships built on respect and compassion, not superficial likes.

These statistics may paint a difficult picture, but we believe we have the power to change the narrative. InPower isn’t just about sharing photos or updates—it’s about creating a better world, one connection at a time. We’re building a space for healing, growth, and genuine human connection.
If you’re ready to leave behind the toxic cycle, if you’re ready for a platform where empathy leads the way, then InPower is waiting for you.
