The Socs are the rich kids and the Greasers are the “hoods.” The Socs’ and the Greasers, just like teenagers today, struggled with a lot of problems. Some problems that teenagers struggle with are: their body, their outward appearance (clothing, makeup, etc.), figuring out who they are, their family (parents fight a lot, parents not together, illness, siblings), friends (who they hang out with), social status (i.e. popular not popular) and social media (what people say about your post / how you can improve " the way you look"). Needless to say, teenagers today are under a lot of pressure, they are handling adult issues, and need support and guidance. Sadly, many adults do not understand these issues or know how to respond to these problems. …show more content…
Both of these can have a huge impact on your daily life. By being around a bully too long, you may turn into one. Being selective about friends, and making sure you chose good ones is not easy. Sometimes teenagers think they do but later realize that the person they thought they knew was not the person they now know. Teenagers crave relationships, friendships and otherwise, and similarly they love the attention of social media. Perhaps, a teen girl wants to find out if a boy likes her or simply tries to get more “likes” and posts a slightly inappropriate picture “just this time.” Both of these, you later wish that you might not have done. Teenagers can help adults understand these pressures better. Teens can explain how important social media is to their daily lives; yet, comments on social media may affect who they are or want to be.

Social media influences a teenager's self-esteem because it can lower or boost their self-esteem. It can lower a teenager's self-esteem by having cyberbullies on the internet putting them down with their negative opinions of the teen which can also drive the teens to feel hurt, or discourgaed by letting others opinions get to them. Social media can boost a teenager’s self-esteem by having a lots of friends or followers, because they’ll feel cool and popular.

I’m going to be inventorying, identifying, describing, and looking. I’m going to start of with the author S.E Hinton, I noticed she went right into the story without any backstory or background i've noticed from discussions a lot people don’t like that she went straight into the story, I wanted to mention that because it was very disliked in many discussions. I also wanted to speak on what caused the rivalry between socs and greasers, there was a lot that S.E Hinton left out that many readers were wanting know. There are many examples of S.E Hinton not giving background, explaining, or even just stating something better. Don’t get me wrong all together the book was really good, there was just some things that could have been stated better
In a place where rich and poor, good and bad are fighting with each other.The Greasers had a rougher life than the Socs.The Greasers had a rough life because they were poor and they always get in trouble by the Socs.Greasers are people that can’t afford almost anything and People blame them for doing bad stuff always. The Socs are west side rich kids who basically can own almost everything.People think that Greasers are bad juvenile kids who always do bad things, but in reality they are just poor people that had to do bad stuff because they have to.
Therefore, they have yet another similar problem. Also, It’s an example of what gangs make you do. In addition, in “A Generation struggling” rich kids are more likely to buy and do drugs than others. With this in mind, we see the Socs in “The Outsiders” book mostly always drunk or smoking. Although, we see the Greasers smoking and drinking too, we don’t see it as much as with the Socs. All things considered, the Socs and the Greasers both have bad health choices.

We live in an era ruled by social media, primarily when it comes to teenagers, social media is used for everything. From communicating with family and friends to being used as a news outlet, and even advertisement for business and companies. This article is titled “Social Media: What's Not to Like,” written by Alison Pearce Stevens. The topic of this essay is the effect social media can have on teenagers. Social media, on one hand, can be used as a great way to share with the world and boost teens’ self-esteem. On the other hand, social media can be used as a place for bullying, body shaming and can cause depression or even suicide in teens.
How much damage can a rivalry cause? This book is about two rival groups, the Socs and the greasers. It is also about how fear can push someone into murder, It is about not judging people by their looks. The greasers struggle more than the Socs because they are poorer, their family life is not the best, and the are not safe when they are alone. Being poor is sometimes the reason you always want to prove yourself or do certain things.
Social media has been known to help students develop important knowledge and social skills. “At first glance this may seem like a waste of time; however it also helps students to develop important knowledge and social skills, and be active citizens who create and share content.” (Chen 3). The more time teens spend on social media the more they become aware of their own social side and how to interact with others, especially their peers. “Some types of social media has beneficial effects, like helping adolescents establish some sense of identity and build networking skills” (Riley Davis). Too much time being spent on social media can also exploit teens to some harsh realities that they’ve probably never experienced in their lives before.
Older generations don’t realize how much technology has affected this generation of teenagers, along with the social media that comes along with the technology. As stated in “How Social Media Changed Teens’ Lives Forever”; “Negative posts or comments also can do great damage to a teen’s self-esteem.” (Ashley Black, Thomas Atseff and Colleen Kaveney) While many parents think social media is just a way to connect with others, many teenagers take it for granted. For example, “quitting social media because it made her miserable and obsessed with appearing perfect online”, is what a teenager felt about social media and what it has done to her. Though many think that social media is a great way to connect, teenagers take it to another level.
Every day I wake up knowing I’m going to have to fight the same war within myself that I do everyday. A war that isn’t visible to the eye, nevertheless a war I never feel I will be free from. It is a humiliating feeling to be fearful of your mind as if you are its prisoner. There are days where I will do anything just to survive. Anxiety has become a sickness that I can’t shake. The way I was brought up plays a significant role in developing a personality derived from perfectionism as well as fearing any sort of failure, due to developing an anxiety disorder. Anxiety has clouded my sense of “who I am,” as well as, affected me physically and cognitively.
One reason social media can be harmful to teenagers is that it can distant you away from people around you. The text states, “ It may draw some teenagers away from having relations with themselves and people around them” This implies that social media can take over the lives of many people. Children need to have a good relationship with the people around them and not be glued to their cell phone all the time. They even need to have a relationship with themselves. There are other things in the world that are better and more entertaining than being on facebook.
Studies have shown that the average person now spends more time each day on their phone and computer than they do sleeping according to Nick McGillivray (“What are the Effects of Social Media on Youth?). Social has become part of our social society, especially for the many youths. There are positives to being on social media and also equal amounts of danger that come with using social networking sites, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. These social networking sites also have effects on today’s youth by altering the way they behave, the way they learn, in not only a classroom setting but also in the real world setting, and the way that they socialize with their peers and others.
