"There is something in the way that we are now, with our cell phones and people are not looking at each other and not being in the moment with each other, that kids feel isolated," Gaga explained. "They read all of this extremely hateful language on the Internet. The Internet is a toilet. It is. It used to be a fantastic resource -- but you have to sort through sh*t to find the good stuff."
In 2012, Gaga launched the Born This Way foundation and has since been on a mission to help those who struggle with feelings of depression and anxiety like herself. "I just want these kids to know that that depth that they feel as human beings is normal," she said. "We were born that way. This modern thing, where everyone is feeling shallow and less connected? That‘s not human."
