Yes there is. It leads to narcissism and unwarranted feelings of self-importance.

If you think that modern social media isn't harming society by funneling straight to people's egos, thus causing the "in a world" situation we're in in the first place, then there's no point trying to debate anything else with you.

First thing you need to do for a productive debate is to make sure you're talking about the same thing.

The differences in male and female suicide rates (and methods) is not a product of the social media age; it goes back at least decades.

"wanting attention" does not define narcissism, and a cry for help in the form of a suicide attempt is not a demand to be the center of attention. Yes, it can be, and suicide among people with narcissistic personality disorder is a problem too. But there are also a lot of people who feel isolated, ignored, lost who look for any way to reach out. Dismissing those as "just wanting attention" serves no one.
