Being in the youth in this generation.

Intro

 Being a Young person in today’s generation is an experience unlike any other. The newly advanced technology and social media have forced young people to navigate new opportunities and challenges with day to day life. There are a lot of pros and cons to being a young person   these days.

There are negative sides to being a teenager that I will be talking about today.as i spoke to a few students who relate to this topic they have agreed that a negative factor about being a teenager today is having to worry about adulthood. During Priscelles interview she stated that “I would say one of the struggles would be social media and trying to fit in”. 

This also ties to my next point: social media has influenced the youth in a negative way. Young people are known to follow the “new trend” that has been popularized . you see them going out and buying  whatever is trending at the moment to fit in. This can also cause young people to feel anxiety at times because they’re so worried about fitting in or looking good for social media.

Social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat have redefined how young people communicate, express themselves, and form relationships. On the one hand, these platforms have allowed youth to build communities, connect with like-minded individuals across the globe, and amplify their voices in ways that were never possible before.

Another con being a teenager in this generation is feeling like there is a lot of pressure on them. your in that stage close to adulthood, most adults will pressure teenagers to get a job or do well in classes and keep their grades up. Being a teenager in this generation is difficult because of social media and lots of pressure.
