So close. She bursted out a breath of horror. When she told me to swipe down and took my phone closer to her, I knew. Her trembling hands shaking so much that I knew something was wrong. I stared into her eyes but she never looked back. Something was kept away from me, something that I must not know. Tears through her eyes ...she ran.

The internet causes so many people to feel loses in their life, affecting their emotions, academics, and physical life. As mentioned, social media brings so many heartbroken things to young adults and people during their daily life. Have you ever seen a ugly post on the internet around you? I understand, it doesn’t feel quite pleasant. This probably happened to about everyone in our surroundings. More to, social media affects so many kids in school, bringing and dropping their grades below average. Maybe it has happened to you, where your parents spend hours at your desk teaching you life lessons on how to be a grown up teenager. Or I can also say that they might yell and spank you. Because of social media and the internet life, it can cause an easy target for social predators on you which is a dangerous way of getting your information stolen or being blackmailed. Think of this, how would you feel if social media and internet had never existed in life? 8xwu467 https://padlet.com/8xwu467/6shtu0vzba2r/wish/210059497 2017-11-25 18:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/8xwu467/6shtu0vzba2r/wish/210059497 Body Paragraph 3 8vchi188 https://padlet.com/8xwu467/6shtu0vzba2r/wish/210074315 Pursuing this further, social media may also be a whole lie itself. From the way you text to strangers or so call “friends” to how all the photos you post are out for anyone to see and stalk. Social predators, unknown people who hide their identity to find an innocent person to sneak their way into their personal information can be a very serious problem that everyone should be cautious about. To stand by this statement, the “Teens and Social Networking” video on 2:00 clarifies, “You are never 100% guaranteed, that the person you’re talking to is the person you’re thinking.” This statement the women proclaimed is a necessary detail in the topic of social predators because it talks about how anyone and everyone can get tricked and fooled. Social media just makes it easier for strangers to get all the information they need from you in from just a small platform, like facebook or instagram. At the same time, hackers can easily hack into one of your social media accounts and find personal information and texts.

Your phone can be used for good and bad things relating to academics. It has its pros and cons. The good items it can be useful for is a school project, essay, research, and etc. But when you are not using your phone for school it can affect you academic life really badly. How? Well your grades will or can go down to below average; you become less active when it comes to do schoolwork or homework. In general you become less focus in your school life and you are more entertained in your phone. In addition, if you are more entertained in your phone than academics then it is possible you won’t really accomplish many things in your life but if you are the complete opposite it is possible that you will accomplish may things in life. Just remember use your phone for academics first then when you are done you can be roaming around social media. 8ncas3701 https://padlet.com/8xwu467/6shtu0vzba2r/wish/210075011 2017-11-25 21:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/8xwu467/6shtu0vzba2r/wish/210075011 Body Paragraph 1 8tvuo3111 https://padlet.com/8xwu467/6shtu0vzba2r/wish/210596898 In the first place, social media has caused young people maybe even adults to have depression. Depression is the inability to be happy. According to the newsela article,”Negative, positive effects of excessive social media use on teens studied” by Andrea K. McDaniels, the author states,”Studies have shown the around-the-clock world of social media takes a mental and emotional toll on some young people. It has been linked to increased anxiety, depression and decreased relationship skills.” This evidence is important because, it shows that social media can cause people to be unhappy. In addition, social media does not only cause depression but other worse feelings.
