Now, if I were in high school? I'd just as soon deal without it.
See this is my problem with it (it being all social media), teenagers and highschoolers could duly get around perfectly without the distraction of instagram or facebook. But being immature and lacking any drop of wisdom, having 1k followers is "cool," updating the world on your tasty panera bread photo or lit party last night makes your life "better than everyone elses." I see more young people on social media posting this bullshit than anyone else. And it bothers me because there's so many fulfilling and internally developmental experiences out there that are meant to be kept private and held personally, but everyones so caught up in posting about it and making sure everyone else knows before they even get the chance to absorb the experience.
For instance, I find hiking to be an experience I like to absorb and enjoy, and while hiking I also find teen-30 year old people asking everyone to get a picture of them standing on a rock so everyone on instagram can see.
I'm probably off on a tangent but I've got a pretty big peeve when it comes to social media.
And Tachy I'm not saying anything against your use of it, it seems to merely be a form of connection with far away friends, which is awesome. But I see more drama and bs brought up in the social media world than I see good.
