‘Wild’ singer Jessie J has been talking about the difficulties of growing up in the Digital Age.

The former Voice judge believes that social media has made being young “100% more difficult now than it was ten years ago.”

In an interview with The Observer Jessie J labelled modern social media as “mentally unsafe”.

Jessie explained: “There's no middle ground any more. Children used to get bullied at school. Now they go home and that's where the problem starts – because they sit on their phones all night, thinking about who's 'liked' a photo of them, who hates them, who loves them. They don't know what's real and what's not, editing their lives constantly to fit other people's views."

However the ‘Price Tag’ vocalist defended her own use of Instagram as she uses it to portray the reality of her life as a pop star and not just the glamorous highlights:

“I make a conscious effort to Instagram photos of me with no makeup on, and looking a bit rough, and eating normal food. Not 'look at my amazing dinner at this amazing restaurant but this is my jacket potato, deal with it.'”
