Social Media...

       Social media...for kids, it's just something else that seems to put pressure on us. First of all apparently if you don't have social media you aren't considered "cool". But then there's pressure for what kind of pictures you post, how pretty you are, what type of filter you have on your photo, how many likes you get, how many followers you have...etc.

        The worst thing is that kids will judge you for those things, if you only get 70 likes on a picture...you'll go to school next day and your "friend" will be like:

"I noticed you only got 70 likes on your last picture...bummer"

*deletes picture right away*

     The sad part is that most of us actually do delete the picture. I think the whole purpose of social media has totally been defeated. The purpose is to interact with your friends and family. Well were doing that...but I guess were using something like Instagram, as a sort of scale to see how pretty someone is. I bet you guys always pull out your phone to show someone how "ugly" or "pretty" someone is. And we all use the amount of followers almost against people. It's as if the more followers you have the higher your ranked on the popularity scale.

          I honestly am one of those people who really don't get why we need social media. Texting I understand...we need to keep in contact especially incase of emergency. But instagram honestly doesn't make sense...post a picture so that people can tell you how ugly or pretty you are! Who are they to tell you? Now I'm just going to say that if I ever told any of my "friends" my opinions on social media they would hate me forever. The worst part is, when your popular, the only comments your going to get is your so pretty...even if your not (not being rude, everyone is beautiful in their own way). It's like people are terrified to write "your a bitch and are honestly not that pretty". Well first of al that's not very nice, no matter how mean that person is because then your just as bad as them. But people are scared of not commenting "gorgeous" on someones picture who is popular because it's as if they have more power over you, which is ridiculous...because this is high school not the royal kingdom.

I'm gonna end this post with my favourite quote/story:


“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
-John Lennon
