Teen Teenagers

With social media growing and growing into a mass of accounts and profiles and different groups of people and clubs and websites and other things, what adolescents do on social media is something that many parents worry about. Not every parent is at ease with the fact that their child/teenager is out in open water; one young human being surrounded by millions of other human beings who are younger, the same age, or older than them.

Cell phones and technology are wonderful tools for us to communicate and to grow as society but even though there are many benefits of using cell phones in the various social environments, there is also the greater disadvantage of the usage of the devices. The effects of being rude to one another, “light” unimportant conversations, and weak relationships between peers or family members. In today's world people are way too connected electronically and disconnected emotionally. As there is a lot of controversy to if cell phones are running society's social lives or not, research has shown that they are in fact hurting and affecting how people are interacting and communicating with one another. Between the lack of empathy and the lack of face to face conversations, cellular devices “smart phones” are the major reasons society is seeing a negative effect in people’s social life

Over 94% of American teenagers claim to access social media daily, today teenagers and social media tend to be the butt in everybody’s joke, but what are the effects of social media? Bethany Mota is a 21-year-old women who has been able to start her own fashion line at the age of 17 because of social media. Amanda Todd was just 16 when she decided to end her life, due to the fact that she was persecuted relentlessly on social media sites. Many young people get bullied or harassed through social media daily, while others are given amazing opportunities to express themselves and connect with others with the same passions as them. So, what is the impact of teenage participation in social media?

?In today’s society, social media and websites with no professional expertise behind them have become an information source for the new adolescent generations.

In this present generation, everywhere you look someone is either talking, texting, or surfing the web on their cell phone. Even children can undertake the features and tools of a cell phone. According to statistics, “Ninety-one percent of American adults and sixty percent of teens own a cell phone” (Borreli). A clear majority of induvial can say that they are part of one of those stated percentages. Likewise, many people depend on the handy device and pay less attention to the effects that cell phones have on the significance of social interactions. All things considered, cell phones have contributed positive impacts through keeping in touch with others to emergency use, as well as eroded social skills to fatal accidents resulting in negative impacts.

The usage of cellular phones has become ubiquitous in our American society, illustrating the growing effects of technology on our advancing society. It is nearly impossible to imagine entering any public setting without encountering at least one person using a cell phone because this has become a part of normal, everyday life. The benefits to mobile communication are numerous; however, many would argue that the detriments are abundant as well. An impartial view of the effects of cell phone use would still reveal that an evolution in society has been caused by and is still occurring because of cell phones. New methods of communication inevitably will lead to a change in social behavior. This paper will explore the changes that have occurred

Is social media actually a disaster for teenagers? Hilary stout’s article “Antisocial Networking?” from New York Times, April 30, 2010 discusses that social media is not a good thing because kids are less interested in face to face communication with their friends. It is my believe that social media is not harmful at all for young people.

Should teenagers be drafted into doing community service for a whole year? Community service certainly looks good on college and job applications according to high school teachers and counselors. Teenagers should take the time to find a way to incorporate an occasional good deed that benefits the local community into their busy schedules. A whole year of community service hours after high school sounds like it could benefit the young adult generations as they make their way into the adult world. However, teenagers in today’s society are already going through many life changes after high school, such as moving on to get a higher education, or moving on to find work. The added baggage of completing a whole year of community service just seems too much when taking into account the other events that go on in teenagers lives.

Teens do not pay attention to the world and the most important things around them. Teens need to pay attention to important things in the world because teens are our feature and we will need them they can be our next president or our next doctors. “People of all ages are adjusting to a world where ‘facts’ are immediately discoverable, and judgment between competing facts becomes a primary skill” (Anderson and Rainie). Not only are teens adjusting to the world, but people of all ages are having to make an adjustment. It's a good thing that every around us are adjusting to the world around us and learning new things as we go and that judgment is apart of the world we live in today. In conclusion teens are learning how to use their assets in their favor and are adjusting to the world around them and using social media as a way to help them in the world in order to find a great

Increased popularity of cell phone use has lead to unforeseen social consequences. We aim to inform the reader of these consequences. Cell phones are extremely useful, but according to the research the problems outweigh the benefits. These problems need to be addressed because they are prevalent in our time now, and can be addressed by personal responsibility in the use of cell phones when others are present. This study focuses on young adult between the ages of 18-29. Cell phones were originally created for connectivity; they have now evolved into a means which destroys social interaction. Research illustrates that cell phones are no longer making communication more effective; cell phones are part of everyday life, and as such adolescents need to limit usage because excessive time utilizing cell phones has negatively impacted social skills: impaired communication and promoted loneliness.

I’m not going to hang out with these girls, they aren't popular, and they don't get invited to anything. To begin, they only want to hang out with all the popular kids; because they are “cool”, and only wear the new popular style of clothes because everyone else is. In fact, some girls wonder everyday if they are good enough to fit in, or if they can talk or hang out with certain groups. Girls are always wondering if their peers accept them. Talking with boys is also another thing teen girls do that cause them to stress, it's hard especially if you can't even talk to any other people, not knowing if you're good enough. Although teen girls are supposed to always be happy, there are many problems girls now face, that I think can easily be resolved, like being self conscious, being a follower, and wanting to only hang out with “popular” kids.

Teens should not be limited to time on the internet as they use it to work, study, or have fun. Consequently, this world has come to the point where everything is mostly done through the internet. This generation and the ones to come are going to be based on the growth of the internet.
