Social media is a problem that every teenager and adult struggles with. This topic is very broad and can be talked about easily. The different types of social media sites affect people in different ways. Almost everyone has had facebook, twitter, or instagram in their life. Instagram makes people feel bad about themselves when they see others on a beach, their love life, or anyting else going well in their life. The person viewing this may feel down about their life on how it does not live up to other's. Twitter and Facebook can cause many arguments. Lately, many people have gotten into silly arguments over things like sports games, relationships, or other things. This is a type of bullying that is growing in our world. To raise awareness, students could stop using social media sites for a few days and see how their lives change. I would guess that their would be less drama and less stress on lives.
Education has changed throughout the years. In our lives today, it doesn't matter if you understand the topic you are learning. The only thing students care about in school is passing; whether or not they understand the topic or not. Our schooling system focuses on grades rather than understandment. This problem causes students to cheat rather than do their own work. I feel that the school needs to take a stand in changing their grading system. Many schools have made the change in quizing students on the topic they are learning without a grade rather than having the grade matter. Grades, in my opinion, should not matter. Getting into college should not be based on your grades throughout school. If a person understand the subject, why should the grade matter?
My last topic is eating disorders. Eating disorders are not disorders that cause people to starve themselves, they are also disorders that cause over-eating. These disorders have grown in the past years in the United States in throughout the world. Many things that cause eating disorders are the media, self image, and personal relationships. The media has caused many people to view themselves as fat, or not up to the societies standards. When watching tv shows, the actors are ALWAYS perfect. This causes many females and sometimes males to feel down about themselves. There are ways to prevent this disorder. Just changing how you view yourself can help, but there are eating disorder clincs in any town.
