Social media is a good thing and has a good side but, it also causes other problems like bulling and fighting. Kids our age don't know that whatever you say or put on the internet is there forever. it will never go away. There are shows of kids saying that the internet ruined their lives. It didn't ruin there lives, they ruined their own lives.

Our culture is obsessed with many things including our phones and social media. The world is so distracted with what others are doing that they do not have enough time to enjoy their own lives and live the way they want to or how God wants us to. We are always on our phones and distracted from the outside world. We are to busy focusing on what others think about us that we do not have fun within our own lives. Also we are obsessed with money and believe that it will bring us happiness when it truly does not. We spend so much time trying to make money that we do not spend enough time with friends and family. Also we think that just because you have money you are better than others who do not make as much money as you do.

Our culture is obsessed with money. Everyone I hear talk always starts their sentence with something like "when i'm rich i'm gonna buy" or "one day i gonna be super rich." In our society today to have a lot of money means to be cool. You buy the newest Nikes, you only have the best clothes, you have a big house, you have nice car. Money can be a good thing but it can also be very bad. Money could take over your life till the only thing you aspire toward is money. It is a sick obsession called greed and it takes hold of your life with an unbreakable grip until it has squeezed every ounce of character out of you and replaced it with money. With greed all you can think about is money and you cannot think of anything else. It is good to have money but do not let it control your life

Our culture is mostly obsessed with phones. You can tell because there are countless ads about new phones, phone cases, headphones, etc. Did you know that a single person checks their phone 46 times a day? This shows that we are constantly connected to our phones as if our lives depend on them. Many people might disagree with my statement but it is true. Ask yourself "How many times do I check my phone and does it really matter?" And be honest with yourself.

Our culture is obsessed with social media. They will believe anything they here and then tell people about it because they heard it from the phone. young teens like us don't know what can happen now a days to you and how people can find whatever you do even if you delete it. Kids are not that social in person and don't know what to say to people when they try and talk, they also don't know how to start a conversation.

Our culture is obsessed with popularity.  People in our culture think popularity is the cure to all their hardships.  When they are young they always look up to big celebrities and want to be like them.  The truth is they do not know what goes on behind their facade.  They may always have a smile for the cameras, but at home they may struggle with family issues, mental illnesses, or they are just not happy.  Just because people are popular does not mean they are happy, that is what people need to realize.

Our culture is obsessed with power and we all get power by money. The major corporations in the world control most of it aside from the government. The more money they make the more power they gain. The world has many people in poverty yet they use their money to buy things such as new cars, expensive houses, and use their money to grow their businesses for even more money that they don't even need. Managers of these corporations pay those who work for them as little as they do while they just sit there earning more money than the workers who actually deserve most of the profit. The corporations are just an example of us all, we all want money, we all want power,  whether we admit it or not. We will all start realizing what we really need when our obsession ends. The world will evolve into a united place when we stop scattering our power and start uniting the power that we have for the betterment of society and the world we live in.

Our culture today is obsessed with phones. More than 28% of car accidents are because of texting or phone calls. Phones can also caused ocular damage if used too much. Even though they are useful in everyday life we use them too much. Sometimes its better to put down your phone and enjoy nature. If you walked outside and visited a public place, there would be almost everyone on their phones. When we use our phones too much we forget about the outside world and our friends. Just by putting your phone down you can enjoy life without obsessing over technology.

Our culture today is obsessed with their appearance. From shirts to shorts to socks to shoes everything we wear is a statement to a public audience. People can also judge other people by the way they dress, Including me. I think everything would be easier if we just let people make their own choices on what to wear and not let society decide for them. Boys and girls are different when it comes what is socially acceptable to wear. For girls it is much more complicated because they can be judged from their hairstyle and makeup all the way down to their shoes. On the other hand boys only care about the shirts and shoes they wear.

Our culture is obsessive over countless things. Some stand out more than others and can even affect the way we live life, or even act. In today's society the more popular you are on social media, the more popular you are at school. It is harder for some kids that don't  have social media, because they do not get the same amount of attention as the more "Popular" kids. The need to have the most followers or get the most likes on a photo, is causing most people to constantly be on their phones. Being on your phone for the majority day can cause you to miss exciting things around you that are going on as you are staring at a screen. We need to get off our phones and enjoy what happening right here and now.

Although they are useful, we are so addicted to them that we spend more times on our phones than we do with each other. We use our phones for everything such as texting a friend or checking our social media. Doing these things have become a big habit in our life that some of us can't even go a day without our phones. We need to learn to stay off our phones a little bit and go outside or hangout with friends.

Our culture is obsessed with popularity. Popularity plays one of the biggest roles in most people lives. At a young age people can get obsessed about celebrities. How they talk, what they do, and how they act becomes a distinctive part in peoples lives. They begin to act how the celebrities they idolize act. This has its good and bad reasons. Some people idolize great leaders and role models like Nelson Mandela and Abraham Lincoln, and other people who lived a positive and memorable life. Other people worship bad role models. People like Miley Cyrus, Chris Brown. and Justin Bieber are celebrities who are quite often idolized by young adults. All three of those people have not been making good decisions and being positive role models for today's youth. Their loyal fans often change their image and lifestyle to mimic there favorite celebrity. The problem is that they begin to lose their true self. They forget life is not all about fame and money, its about how good of a person and how much you contribute to making society better.

To be connected as one makes everyone feel more alike and some people don't like feeling different.  Most parents expect their children to know and hang out with all their neighbors but this generation is known for liking seclusion and I like it too. Many people from this generation earn their fame from a recent video that has been watched by millions of people.  And without YouTube or other Social Media cites many of America's favorite singers, dancers and even comedians.

Our culture is very obsessive. We have so many things to obsess about that we cant choose just one. We don't understand how lucky we really are. The top few things that we do obsess about are phones, television, and popularity. Our phones are a huge distraction to school unless you are using school speak or another educational application. Television, is alos a big distraction because if you sit down on the couch and turn on the TV before you know it, it is ten o'clock and you haven't studied or done any homework. Last but certainly not least is popularity. This is the biggest thing that deteriorates us and how we see ourselves and each other. Our prospective should be the same on everyone weather or not they are popular or not.

In this day and age, our culture is obsessed with self-image and how others view them. They worry too much about trying to impress the person they like, or being popular. Truthfully, popularity is when you are selfless and caring towards all, and can be relied on in any circumstance. Many people today, which include both boys and girls, make too much of an effort to become friends with someone and act "cool." The people that are "cool" are those who accept you for everything you are. You shouldn't have to act or dress a certain way to impress someone. The only person you should try to impress is God. He will be impressed when you act like your true self. A majority of young girls have a vision in their heads of perfection: a flawless, slim body, beautiful face, and effortless, gorgeous hair. They are often led to eating disorders from starving themselves. God created everyone in different shapes with different features. This is what makes our world unique; variety. Be comfortable in your own skin because God makes no mistakes. If you are truly unhappy with your body, exercise regularly and find healthy food alternatives. If you are unhappy with your character, use Jesus as a role model on how to treat others. There is a solution to everything. Our generation has to know that they are beautiful. Not because they look like a supermodel, but because they are different than their neighbor.

All kids care about is showing that they did something on their snap chat and Instagram. It drives my mother crazy when she sees kids cross the street while staring at their phones. We are so careless with the use of phones and don't think about what we could do to others. If we are driving we could die or kill another person if we are using our pones. Teachers should talk about how we shouldn't always be on our phones.

Our world is a very selfish world, so many people are so focused on themselves and only themselves. Our culture is so focused on what other people think and not about  the true person that they are. Many people need to stay strong and know who they are and not care what other people think. God created us in a way that he knew was perfect and we are supposed to cherish it and love it. We need to be more giving  and think about others more than ourselves and we will be happier.God intended us to help others and not be so self absorbed. Gods only son Jesus was sent on this earth to explain to us how not be selfish and to think about others. We may not seem happy when we are doing things for other people, but we will be happy on the inside.

Our Culture is obsessed with ourselves. People are only observant of who people are on the outside and don't want to look on the inside.

Our culture is obsessed with beauty. Instead of focusing on attitude and personality, kids today only focus on the looks of someone. The prettier you are, the more likely you are to date someone or have people like you. Makeup is being introduced to young girls every day, and those girls learn to feel incomplete or "naked" without their makeup. They are afraid of anyone seeing them without their makeup on. They are reliant on their looks, because that is the only aspect of a relationship that our generation cares about. Children are becoming pompous, and that should stop. Who wants to date someone that's "ugly?" Your opinion of yourself should be the only opinion that matters. Your peers will one day respect you for who you are on the inside, not the outside. You do not need makeup to be beautiful, and you do not need to be vain to attract attention. Just be yourself and people with learn to love you for who you are, not what you look like. Our culture is obsessed with looks and makeup, and self-confidence is lowering throughout the United States. Girls should be confident in who they are without caking on makeup. Makeup acts as a shield that hides your true self, so girls should learn to feel loved without makeup. Then everyone around the world will be happier.

Our culture is obsessed with technology, mainly our phones and social media. We are unable to go a day without our phones and technology, which is a problem and obsession. When you go outside you probably won't see a person walking around without their phone either texting, or on social media such as Instagram and snap chat. We need to focus more on each other and socialize, which will help make stronger friendships. Instead of going on our phones we can do something more productive with our time and or help others who are less fortunate. Another thing our society is obsessed with is our looks. We have this idea in our head that we have to look our best at all times just to be accepted. We shouldn't have to dress up just to impress others the only opinion we need to care about is ours and what we think of ourselves. As long as we are happy with ourselves that is all we need. If we care too much it will just bring us down.

Our culture is obsessed with technology.  Some call it an addiction.  Others call it an obsession.  In this generation, millennials cannot seem to  branch away from their laptops, smartphones, tablets, and more for two minutes.  They take out their phone during any possible moment, even if it means they can loose their life.  We draw away from our real relationships for something on a screen.  First off, there is a difference between an addiction and an obsession.  An addiction means that you are trying to release neurotransmitters from your brain that signal a pleasurable experience.  Obsession involves neurotransmitters that are associated with stress and anxiety.  When we are addicted to something we strive for the pleasure it brings, no matter how far we go to do so.  When we are obsessed with something, we are aiming to reduce the anxiety signals in our brain.  We seem to create an obsession with our smartphones, not gaining pleasure but striving to reduce anxiety instead.  For example, have you ever been having a conversation with someone when they suddenly take out their phone and immediately finish what they were talking about?  They do this to bridge the gap in the conversation when they were feeling uncomfortable.  Bringing out their phone in such a situation does not give them pleasure, it reduces the anxiety they were experiencing.  A survey was taken of individuals of every age on where they keep their phone during the day and why.  The majority said that they kept their phone in their hand at all times to know when they are notified, texted, emailed, or called.  It brings us anxiety to be without our phones for fear of missing out-or FOMO.  Having our phones present with us at all times creates a comfort that can't be described or examined. Why? Why can't we look up from our phones to engage in conversation with the person we're with?  Why can't we break away and admire our surroundings and those around us?  I guess taking a second or two to take our phones out of our pockets is too much for us to handle.  Another obsession with our phones is how we turn them on at bedtime.  Even though it leads to suppression of melatonin and difficulty sleeping, we power on our phones the moment before we fall asleep to make sure we aren't missing something.  We jeopardize our health for the sake of checking our email or scrolling through Instagram.

Technology is not a necessity.  It is not required for our  health.  It in fact, it causes more deaths and major injuries in a year than shark attacks.  When we text and drive, walk while looking at Facebook, or stand on the edge of a pier for a picture, we are at risk of killing ourselves.  One moment is all we need to look up from our phones to prevent a fatal injury.  So ask yourself this, are you obsessed with technology?

Our culture is obsessed with Social Media. Everyone is always on their phone on Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. An average person spends an average 9 hours a day on their phone. Most of those hours are probably spent texting or on Social Media. Many people wouldn't know how to live if their phones or Social Media was taken from them.  I think that Social Media can be used to connect to people but it can also be used for bad. Cyber Bullying is bad but can be avoided super easily, so I think it isn't that bad because all you have to do is click block. Anyways I think todays culture would be lost without technology

Our culture is obsessed with being skinny. Thigh gaps, flat stomachs, and many more ways girls and sometimes guys measure how skinny or good looking they are. People do tests on themselves to prove how skinny they are such as the iPhone 6 test, where you put it on your kneecaps to see if your legs are skinny enough, the dollar wrapped around your wrist test, and putting paper on your back to see if skin comes through the side. While it is important to be healthy and fit, you don't have to measure your waist to prove how healthy you are. An iPhone 6 can't determine if you're good enough. Doing these things can be very harmful towards people. People deprive themselves from full meals, worry about how many grams of fat and carbs are in everything they eat, and look in the mirror everyday wishing they were skinnier. Luckily, there are big name celebrities and businesses on the internet that also tell us to be proud of our bodies.

Our culture is obsessed with technology, especially our phones. Many people would be lost without their phones. Our phones are very easy to rely on since they have various uses. For instance, I am using my phone right now to type this. Of course, I could do this on my laptop, but phones are much more portable and easier to use. If you bought a phone, you could save  lots of money because you would have many devices included in one, including a flashlight, calendar, phone, camera, recorder, music player, navigation system, clock, and much more. You can also read newspapers, books, and the weather on your phone. Although the phone seems like a great tool, many people have taken it too far, relying too much on their phones. Many teenagers don't know how to change a tire, and if a teen did not have their phone and got a flat tire, then they would most likely be stranded until someone could come along to help. Despite problems with not knowing how to take care of themselves without a phone, there are people are just obsessed and addicted to their phones. For example, one girl on my volleyball team always checks her phone and social media at water breaks and cannot stop herself from checking it each time. The problem with this is that you can tell that she is constantly glued to her phone, and obviously cannot be away from it for more than 30 minutes. Some people might ask, "Why are phones so harmful?" Being too obsessed with our phones harms us mentally and physically. Some people are so addicted to their phones that they become lax on things like personal hygiene and grooming. We also see things on social media and in the news through technology that convince us that we have to be something that we're not in order to  "fit in" in society. Ideas similar to the  iPhone knee challenge, the flat stomach challenge, and the tiny wrist challenge make us believe that we have to construct ourselves differently than how we are made. It also affects us mentally because we are drawn away from the real world. I have to admit, sometimes it feels good to take a break from reality, but it is simple to get lost for hours in the many applications included with technology. A better way to "take a break" is to read a book or watch a movie. Both of these, especially reading a book, help you to imagine a different universe where anything can be possible. When people are too absorbed with their phones, they miss huge happenings in the real world. Someone could be so absorbed in the world of technology that they could put themselves in danger. Many cases have occurred of people trying to take daring selfies by going to the tip-top of buildings and other things because they want to receive praise, and they actually end up dying or being severely injured because they want to stand out in the world of social media. With the 21st century came a wave of new technology, with ages ranging from four to one hundred being obsessed with technology. Even toddlers are obsessed. Have you ever seen a toddler begging their parent for their phone so that they could play a game? In the beginning, phones were just a useful tool, but now people are using them as a way to pass time, which could easily get them addicted. In conclusion, our generation is too reliant on technology and we need to open our eyes before our technology becomes the cause of our demise.

Patience is an important skill that technology  has taken away from the children of today. if everyone put their phones don't for at least an hour we would get to know each other. The world doesn't happen on a screen. Yes you can see anything you want from your phone but that is not as exciting as seeing anything in real life. The world is hooked on these little screens. What will happen in twenty years will technology have competently taken over?  Is a world controlled by digital screens our future? No one has social skills anymore. we don't know how to talk to each other with out a screen between us.  If we gave up our technology for one hour a day we would learn   important things like having real life conversations or, patience. These two things have sadly been destroyed by media. We even  turn in homework electronically.  People are obsessed with social media as well. Yes it is fun to share things every once in a while if something exciting happens but, we don't need to share every second of every day.  I don't care if your photo got one million likes, no one cares what you ate for breakfast. sorry :( Technology is a great thing being greatly overused.  Many of us rely on our phones to get out of awkward situations. If we are uncomfortable we just look at our phone or pretend we are getting a call. We don't know how to handle our problems. If we don't know how to face our troubles we will get nowhere is life. As Albert Einstein said  "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots." Sadly that has happened to this generation. Our addiction to technology has grown over the last few years just as much as the iPhone has grown in size. whenever their is a new phone out we make it our top priority. The world needs to stop getting are phones and get people skills. The world shouldn't  revolve around phones it should revolve around the people we love. Yes we can use technology to communicate with the ones we love but most of us don't even you it for that.  When was the last time you were snap chating your grandma a selfie or checking the photo your mom DM you on Instagram. It's important to use social media for the right reasons. Use it to send a cute birthday wish to a friend who lives far away instead of seeing what color  Kylie Jenner's hair is. People have even started using technology to bully. Don't ruin someone day by posting an embarrassing pic of them or calling them a fat loser. Use it to just say hi or tell them their hair looked nice today. Chose what you use technology for and think if you really want that on the internet for the world to see. Most likely you will not.

Our culture is obsessed with over using technology. Today technology is way overused, people are on there devices 24/7. It seems as if they can't last 5 minutes without being in front of a screen. People are checking there phones all the time checking to see if they received a text, a tweet, a picture on snapchat, or something on Instagram. Due to these things many people are lacking social skills, and that is very sad. 😢 I think it is our job to try and stop being on technology all the time because our addiction to technology will just keep getting worse, and eventually it will be impossible to depart from our devices.

Our culture is obsessed with our phones. They never can go somewhere with out having the feeling of there phone in there pocket. Having a life with out phones is crazy to think of to people. When you are somewhere there is at least  someone on there phone. Being on the phone is enjoyable to our culture. Phones can axess the Internet and social media. Unfortunately we are as a community is lacking social skills and social interaction with the rest of our community. Car crashes, people in danger, and other incidents because we are distracted by our phones. People can get in car crashes by being on there phone because they are distracted. A car accident has happened many times because the lack of social awareness by being on there phone.  We as a community should still have our phones, but not be addicted and have social skills and social interaction.

Our culture is obsessed with social media.  We always have to post a new picture or check someone's snapchat.  These days people seem to care more about social media than socializing with their friends.  People don't realize that they can also be so obsessed that it becomes rude.  For example, if you are trying to tell your friend a story and they just keeping checking their Instagram, it isn't very enjoyable.  It gives you the impression that they don't care about what you have to say.  People are unable to go even an hour without their phones.  This is not good for many reasons; people come to a realization that they don't really have friends, internet ones do not count, they are also not getting as much exercise.  People go on their phones so much that they do not have social skills.  We are all beginning high school and how are we going to make new friends at a new school.  When people realize that you are so phone obsessed they won't want to be friends with you if you will never want to hang out.  Social media can sometimes be a distraction that you think is great, but can change the way you act towards others and make you a whole different person.  I am not saying that all social media is bad and that you shouldn't post on it, because it's not.  Although, it is bad to be on it 24/7 and sometimes put it above your friends or family.  One of the biggest obsessions in the world today is one with social media.

People around the world have made technology part of their everyday culture. Though this type of stuff can we exciting to have we must not let these little pieces of metal take over our lives.
