How are you worse off? Also, do we count whatsapp as social media?

Missing invites to parties, social gatherings etc.

Even for not having an iphone I suffer from this, and would miss out on tons more if not for Facebook for event invites, Snapchat/Instagram stories, etc.

Everyone in my middle school used social media to know when to submit assignments, class schedules etc. Without social media you're going to be left out.

Sounds like the kind of info you would get from your teacher. I assume the teachers didn't publish it on social media. So why did you need that info from social media?
