I tend to be a bit of a bee, buzzing around trying to balance my taekwondo, my artistic dream and doing well in academics!

If you think i buzz too much, I think so too! I really love socialising, but also I hate talking to strangers.I guess I might be a cat in secret!

The picture here is my own artwork, and i hope you like it! Because I will most definitely be making more!

I am always blur and can never think clearly in the early mornings.

The longer I rest the less tired I feel

I like watching anime 😎. My CCA is Outdoor Activity Club (ODAC). I'm like a cat. Cats are solitary creatures, but once they warm up to you, they can be quite friendly. Unlike most cats, however, I like being outdoors. I like drawing and crafts, but I suck at drawing :/. Also, I write stories in my free time(sometimes-).

My friends also call me a sun as I am as bright as the sun, always positive and shining. I bring joy and happiness to my friends too😝

[Perspective 1]

On one hand, students argue that the use of handphones can be educational and are used to communicate with parents or with teachers.

[Perspective 2]

On the other hand, parents and teachers fear that these devices would distract students and may cause addiction over time.

[Stand]

In spite of the many different views on handphones, the negative effects of handphones, distraction, addiction and cyberbullying, outweighs the benefits of handphone use. Hence, I believe that handphones usage should be banned in schools.

[P1] On one hand, some students argue that these devices can support learning and help students stay connected.

[P2] On the other side of the coin, despite these advantages, some parents view handphones as distractions, which leads to a reduced academic performance. In spite of the myriad of opinions, allowing the use of handphones in schools seem to have more pros than cons.

[Stand] Therefore, I feel that handphones should not be banned in schools.

The topic of handphone usage in schools has been debated since its introduction and along the way, there have been many opinions spoken from teachers, teenagers, and parents alike. while some people may argue that the use of handphones in schools is neccessary for communication, others may disagree otherwise, as handphones are a distraction for students. Although the handphone ban brings many pros and cons, the pros outweighs the cons. Therefore, in my opinion, i think it is neccessary for schools to ban the usage of handphones.

[perspective 2]

[perspective 1] Students,especially teenage students, are one of the most affected group.According to many peers, the decision would be one that could cause distress to people. "It makes it hard to communicate as we have no idea how to reach out to people." said one student. Another mentioned that if handphone bans occur, the only way to counter it is if the school provides more convienience on pld's or school amenities.

[perspective 2 ]Parents,on the other hand,thinks that this is an excellent idea.They claim that handphones,while being extremely useful,had also caused their children to forsaken their responsibilities. "My child have not been sleeping well due to always being on her handphone late at night." said one sadistic mother. A father of two claimed that his children had been ignoring their homework,which led to them rapidly dropping in their grades. This raises his and many other parents' concerns.

[stand] Therefore, it proves that handphone bans are a better choice than not,which leads to the handphone ban being a sensible choice.

Due to the paramount amount of opinions about the usage of handphones in school,many students are saddened.It is the form of relief from the overwhelming amount of content that's shoved in their heads.But to parents,the would prefer if their children were safely kept in the compounds of a school with rules that restricts students phone usage.The school believes that phone usage is like a "sin" and a privilege.Hence the ultimate judgement to this dissension is the final verdict of banning handphone usage.

Students subscribe to the belief that handphone usage is necessary in school. During recess they would want to take a break from lessons and use their handphones to relieve themselves from the stress of studying.[P1]

However, parents view the device as detrimental to their childrens' academic learning and believe the usage of handphones should not be permitted on school grounds.[P2]

Schools also have the belief that handphones are a distraction to learning and student improvement. Since handphones are already restricted to being used only during recess or lunch, schools would want to eliminate the rest of time where handphones are allowed, to improve student conducivity.[P3]

Therefore, I believe handphone usage should be banned in school since even though there are benefits to handphone use, the negative impacts imposed onto students outweigh those benefitss.[STAND]

[perspective 1] Many students agree that handphones should be allowed in school, as it helps with stress relieve and enables students to easily reach out to their parents or guardian, incase of any emergencies or just calling to pick them up from school.

[Perspective 2] However, numerous parents oppose the idea of allowing handphones to be used in school, as they believe that it is a detriment to the students health, as well as take away their focus on homework, and causes the students to drift away from their friends

Despite the many positive feedbacks of students to allow handphone usage in school, the school takes the parents and guardians oppinions as a top priority. As such, handphone usage in school has been banned since the start of 2026.

Mobile phones are widely used by students today. In schools, they can be helpful for learning and accessing online learning material, but they may also cause distractions. Because of this, many people discuss whether mobile phones should be banned in schools.

Many students think that being able to use their phones in school helps them learn better, giving them quick access to the internet for answers and revision practices.

In contrast, many teachers and parents think giving students access to a phone in school makes them easily distracted, students can often be found secretly using phones in lessons, or doing something else when their suppose to be doing online work.

Despite of the various and different views on hand phone usage, I feel that the cons of using phones in school far outweigh the pros, hence I think handphone usage should be banned in school.

[perspective one] Phones can be a conversation starter for everyone, whenever there is a trending video or meme, allowing people to bond and have a common topic to talk about. About 90 percent of students in Chung Cheng High School agree that phones should not be banned as it helps them study. Hence, I think that phones can be a conversation starter for everyone.

Phones can also be useful in studying

Should handphone usage be banned in schools?

Many students believe that handphones are essential in schools, helping them access information quickly and stay connected with friends. They argue that banning handphones would limit their freedom and ability to use technology responsibly. On the other hand, parents worry that handphones distract students from lessons, encourage cheating, and expose them to cyberbullying. While students see convenience and connection, parents see disruption and risk. Considering these points, handphone usage should be banned in schools to ensure a safer and more focused learning environment.

In this day and age, the pocket-sized handphone continues to grow in its influence all around the world, whether it be a busy principal or a hardworking student. However, there has long been a debate on the viabilty of this technology's usage in school.

[perspective 1]

Students in these schools see the handphone both as a digital friend which helps with connecting to friends via the vast internet and as a tool to improve their mental wellness.

[perspective 2]

However, teachers see this device as a plague which affects students' attendance, accomplishments, and attitude negatively.

[perspective 3]

Concerned parents also compare this device to an addictive drug, eating away from their valuable time.

[stand]

Although this topic is very controversial, i shall still stand my ground and say that the usefulness of this little device heavily outweighs the cons of itself if used correctly.

[Perspective 1]Students subscribe to the belief that not being able to use our phones during break time causes school to get extremely boring and dull.

[Perspective]Parents feel like banning phones will let students be less glued to their devices and interact with peers or complete work more efficiently.

[Stand]Therefore, if the schools ban handphones use in schools,the students will not enjoy school as much. I believe that handphones should not be banned in school but restricted only until break time.

Handphones have became an intergral part of modern life, especially for teenagers. However, this technology have stirred up debates whether it provides more pros and cons in school context.

[perspective 1]

On one hand, students argue that phones allow them to easily contact their teachers and parents. Phones can also be used for educational purposes in class.

[perspective 2]

On another hand, many adults think that multple bad habits are developed from the use of handphones. That the excessive use of the devices can cause sleep disruption, eyesight issues and even bad posture.

[stand]

Despite the different views of the outcomes of handphone usage, the cons definitely outweigh the pros, especially with phone addiction leading to many physical and mental health issues. Therefore, I think handphones should be banned in schools.

As a result, adults have wished for a ban on handphone usage in schools.This rises the question of whether they should actually be banned?Students,on the contrary,have a opposite view on the matter,advocating against the ban.They find that they require handphones in school for their various needs.With some finding the idea of a ban simply outlandish.With these incredibly contrasting opinions,I choose to side with the students on this argument.

On one hand, students feel that handphonesn offer a plethora of benefits that help make studying more efficient, as well as a way to de-stress and communicate.

However on the other hand, schools view handphones as a distraction, a hindrance to student's learning.

Despite the many disadvantages to allowing handphone usage in school, I believe students of age 13 and above should bear the self-control essential for teachers to entrust them with the use of handphones in school.

[Perspective 1] From the perspective of students, they would obviously feel that hand phone usage should not be banned in school. As a student myself, I too feel that the use of hand phones should be allowed for the sake of convenience.

[Perspective 2] While students would feel that their mobile devices are not a distraction, their teachers would definitely disagree. Many teachers have pointed out how the use of hand phones are a huge distraction to students' learning.

[Leading Statement] The many opinions from different groups of people all have their own truths, but despite all the pros, [Stand] I feel that the usage of hand phones should be banned during school time.

In the modern days, handphones have become vital to our everyday life, stirring up heated debates, such as "Should handphone usage be banned in school?". [perspective 1]
]Many adults believe that the usage of phones is detrimental to students academics. [perspective 2] On the contrary, many students think that phones are irremovable from their lives. [stand] This essay explores how banning phone usage in school brings about more harm than good.

Handphones have been a controversial topic amongst many people of all kind: Parents, Students, the school management and the general public.

[Perspective 1]

While some may argue that handphones are detrimental for a student’s usage such as communication ,

[Perspective 2]

others argue that it could do more harm than good, like how excessive usage can be damaging to their health .

[Stand]

Despite the many differing opinions, I concur that the handphone ban is neccesary.

Due to the paramount amount of opinions about the usage of handphones in school,many students are saddened by the overwhelming amount of opposition.

[Perspective 1] It is the form of relief or break from the overwhelming amount of content that's shoved in their heads.

[Perspective 2]But to parents,the would prefer if their children were safely kept in the compounds of a school with rules that restricts students phone usage.

[Perspective 3]

The school believes that phone usage is like a privilege.Hence the ultimate judgement to this dissension is the final verdict of banning handphone usage.

[Point]Despite all these allegations......I OBJECT!.It is like stripping a significant amount of joy out of going to school,it is monumentally depressing to sit in the canteen with no freedom to use their phones.If the child is not doing well then I would suggest that parents should just restrict the students time limit.It will definitely help reduce a student's eager to use the phone.Why sabotage the smart students because of the less smart students being less smart.This is a absurd and irrational!

[Perspective 1] From the perspective of students, they would obviously feel that hand phone usage should not be banned in school.

Feedback: Remove personal opinion

Many teachers and parents have agreed upon this change, mentioning how much students spend time on their phone. They also expressed their concerns for this generation to having a distracted and chaotic future , not able being to locus and converse in meaningful topics, thus being less aware.

However , students have complained about how the lack of hand phones results in some things being less efficient. A common occurrence is that students find it hard to communicate to their friends about their whereabouts, it is also stated that it is unfair for the rule to only apply to students , it should be also apply to teachers and staff too , it can also be said that teachers will know how to manage themselves better , but can be contradicted due to some students knowing how to manage themselves too

For quite some time, there has been a heated discussion about whether the use of handphones should be banned in schools.

[Perspective 1]

A majority of students strongly oppose to this idea, as they use their mobile devices daily for entertainment and logistics.

[Perspective 2]

However, a sizeable number of parents view that handphones are immensely harmful for their children.

[Perspective 3]

Even most grandparents complain that their grandchildren spend too much time on their handphones, which results to a lack in socialisation.

[Leading statement]

In contrast to many people's beliefs, the usage of handphones actually includes many advantagable factors.

[Stand]

Hence, handphones should not be banned during curriculum time.

[Perspective two]

[Background]With the rise of technology nowadays living without a handphone is really restricting because of the numerous amount of utility a handphone provides and also provides entertainment in the form of social media platform. Handphones should not be banned in school.

[Stand] As it provides not only its countless utility and entertainment platforms, handphones can be used not ony in school with its utilities but also for students' source of entertainment during break time. Thus, I believe that handphones should not be banned in school

Since the invention of the handphone, the change in the way people communicate now compared to then is collosal. However, this change is not neccessarily good. In school, the use of handphones provide extensive amounts of singnificant information and knowledge, be it studies or current world affairs.

[Stand]

Consequently, due to the usefulness that handphones can provide to students, its usage should not be banned in school.

With how advanced the internet is now, handphones are changing the way people study.

[ Transition statement ]

Handphones allows us to access information from many different topics, helping us study more efficiently by reducing the time and effort needed to study.

[ Stand ]

As such, the use of handphones should not be banned in schools due to how efficient they are

[Stand] Thus, due to the distractions that the internet can provide, I feel that the use of hand phones should not be allowed in schools.

[stand]

Hence, since handphones provide many benfits to both students, they should not be banned in schools.

[POINT]Hence banning HandPhones are a stupid and unreasonable.There are many ways to stop a student from overusing that does not require such a perimeter.

With the rapid developement of the internet, the number of people who rely on it has also changed dramatically. As communication is easier with the internet , an immense amount of people, especially students, tend to rely heavily on their mobile devices. Students often use their mobile devices in situations when they need vital information from their teachers, allowing them to stay informed about lessons and other school activities.

[Stand]

Therefore, as mobile devices offers such convienience and support in learning, they should not be banned in schools.

(Link to your stand):
While some argue that handphones distract students from their studies, this view does not fully consider their potential benefits in an educational setting.

(Perspective 1):
Some people believe that handphones should be banned in schools because they can be a major distraction. Students might spend time on social media, games, or messaging friends instead of focusing on lessons. Excessive handphone use can also affect concentration, reduce face to face interactions, and even contribute to stress or poor time management.

(Perspective 2):
On the other hand, handphones can serve as effective learning tools. They allow students to access educational apps, online resources, and e-books instantly. Handphones also enable efficient communication between students and teachers for school related matters, and they teach students to manage responsibilities like time, deadlines, and digital etiquette.

(Stand):
Hence, handphone usage should not be banned in schools, as they can be used as effective learning tools, allow efficient communication, and help students learn to manage their responsibilities responsibly.

[ hook ]

There has been many claims that teens need their phones to go through daily life, while adults say that it isn't needed. they think that phone usage makes the mind go blank and slow.

[ Perspective 1]

yes, phones are a need in daily life. to check their schedule for the day, to relieve stress, socialise with their friends, family and loved ones and for emergencies. phones are also used to be able to clarify their doubts for their work

[link to stand]
While handphones may sometimes be distracting, they also play an important role in communication, safety, and learning when used responsibly.

[stand]
Therefore, handphone usage should not be banned in schools.

In today’s digital age, the role of technology in education has sparked intense debate. [perspective 1] Students argue that handphones are powerful learning companions, enabling instant access to information and facilitating communication for group work. [perspective 2] Parents, on the other hand, regard these devices with growing alarm, lamenting that constant notifications and social media are eroding their children’s concentration and academic discipline. Schools remain caught in the crossfire, attempting to harness the benefits of technology while struggling to curb misuse, cyberbullying and classroom disruptions. Despite these differing perspectives, the disadvantages of handphone usage in schools outweigh the benefits that educators can effectively regulate. [stand] Therefore, handphones should be banned during curriculum time.

Since smartphones were invented, there have been many changes in society, especially in the way students communicate, learn and spend their free time, bringing both benefits and challenges into schools.

Today, mobile phones are widely used by students either in or outside of schools. In schools, students can use their devices to access study materials that their teachers give them through platforms. However, they can also act as distractions to students if they cannot resist the temptation of using their phones for other purposes like playing games, scrolling social media etc. This led to the debate of whether phones should be allowed in school.

[1] Students will argue that mobile phone usage in schools can help them learn and is not harmful to them whatsoever. [2] However, in the parents and teachers point of view, handphones are seem as detrimental to students health since it can distract students from their studies which results in poor grades.

[stand] Yes, I think handphones should be banned since the cons outweight the pros of handphone usage.

[Perspective 1] Teachers feel that when students do not have their handphones during recess or lunch they can have real conversations with their friends instead of just sending each other videos or laughing at something online. [Perspective 2] However, students feel that when they do not have their handphones they feel like a part of them is missing and they cannot connect with their friends or peers without the usage of their phone.

From the parent's standpoint, handphones only disrupt the learning of the students as some students can get distracted by their handphones during lessons, thus preventing effective learning.

However, from a student's standpoint, handphones are vital to them, as it allows them to be able to check their email and get messages from their teachers more easily

In conclusion, handphones should be allowed as they have benefits that can far ouway the negatives

[P1] Teachers have had many incidents where they would have to confiscate and take away students phone as they were using it in class time, not listening in class. There are many teachers who believes that students should take a break from their phones and that they can just it after school. [P2] Students disagree and argue that they should be able to use their phones, especially during break time where they might be bored or want to see their schdules for duties. [Stand] After all that is said, I believe that while teachers should confiscate students phones if they use them in class, I also believe that the students should be able to use their phones during recess and lunch.

[Perspective 1] Firstly, Handphones in school offer benefits like instant research, access to educational apps, collaborative tools for group projects, enhanced communication with parents and teachers, and improved safety for emergencies, helping develop digital literacy and personalized learning.

[Perspective 2] Secondly, Classroom disruptions: Cell phones interrupt instruction as students receive notifications, texts, and calls during lessons. Even if they aren’t actively using the phone, the vibration feeds the temptation to check it which diverts attention away from learning

[Stand] Therefore, a controlled approach, rather than a complete ban, seems more pragmatic.

[Perspective 1] The positives of handphones can be extremely useful and help students with school matters, keeping up with deadlines, and a easy way to socialise online with friends and family, using tools from all over the internet to help with work in school.

[Perspective 2] Parents and teachers may be concerned over the use of handphones among students. Students caught using phones during curriculum time or prohibited hours are a quiet sign of overdependence on the dopamine received from the handphone. This raises concerns from both parents and teachers, as it might decay their social and communication skills.

While some parents and schools supports the ban of handphone usage in school, many students disagree.

From parents’ perspective, banning handphones helps students concentrate better in class as they worry that handphones might distract students during lessons and reduce attention during lessons. Parents are also concerned that students may misuse handphones for gaming or social media during school hours while students believe that handphones should not be banned as they can be useful. Handphones allow students to research information quickly and also provide a sense of security as students can contact their parents in case of emergencies or when staying back in school.

In my opinion, handphones should not be banned in schools. Instead, clear rules like phone usage in specific areas or specific times should be enforced to allow students to benefit from handphones without letting them interfere with their studies.

In schools across the world, the smartphone screens often draws more attention than the teacher’s voice. [Perspective 1] Although mobile phones can offer quick access to information, [Perspective 2] their presence in school settings frequently leads to distractions and students not focusing. [Stand] For these reasons, I firmly believe that handphone usage should be banned in schools.

Students believe that the use of technology brings us more pros than cons, with the fast paced economy, many things are changing from the old-fashioned ways to the new use of technology causing a big impact in our everyday lives. With many schools starting to use online apps to assign both homeworks and announcement to students, it creates an easier access for the students and teachers to form conversations and connections between other classmates.

However, parents view the use of technology as a destruction to their child's life and study. 

Headphones offer benefits like improved focus, immersive audio, portability, and privacy, blocking noise for concentration and better sound quality on the go. However, their flaws include potential hearing loss from high volume, social isolation, reduced awareness of surroundings (risking accidents), and hygiene issues, while wireless types add battery dependence and potential latency. As such, due to the utitlty that the handphones can affort, its use should not be banned in schools.

[HOOK] In an era characterised by rapid digitalisation, technological innovations have become deeply embedded in everyday life, reshaping the way information is disseminated and consumed. [LINK] Within educational establishments, mobile devices have increasingly become integral learning instruments, granting students immediate access to a plethora of academic resources across diverse disciplines. [STAND] Consequently, given the significant practical value that handphones offer in facilitating academic development, their usage ought not to be prohibited in schools.

[HOOK]
With the rapid advancement of digital technology, handphones have become an inseparable part of daily life, reshaping how people communicate, access information, and learn.

[TRANSITION STATEMENT / LINK TO YOUR STAND]
In educational institutions, these devices have evolved beyond mere tools for social interaction and now serve as gateways to vast amounts of academic knowledge and resources.

[STAND]
Therefore, despite concerns surrounding misuse and distraction, handphone usage should not be banned in schools, as their educational value and potential to support learning far outweigh their disadvantages when managed appropriately.

(perspective 1)
Some people think handphones should be banned because they distract students, reduce focus in class, and can encourage cheating.

(perspective 2)
Others believe handphones are useful tools for learning, allowing students to access educational apps, research online, and collaborate with classmates.

(stand)
I think handphone usage should be allowed but monitored, so students can use them for learning without getting distracted.

Since the advancements in technology, there has been an increase of technology usage in schools meant to help students to study. For students, it is useful as they no longer need to carry heavy backpacks like they used to and it helps them learn through platforms like SLS. As such, due to the many advantages that handphones can help students with, its use should not be banned in schools.

question: learning from your mistakes is the best way to learn. do you agree?

learning from your mistakes is one of the most effective ways to learn. when people make mistakes, the experiences are usually memorable, hence, the lesson stays with them for a long time. Making mistakes also helps people become more confident and better at solving problems. In many areas of life, such as learning a language, playing sports, or building relationships, mistakes are a natural and necessary part of improvement.

[p1]From the school’s point of view, handphones may distract students during lessons. Schools are concerned that students might misuse their phones for gaming, social media, or cheating, which could affect discipline and academic performance.

[p2]However, students support usage of handphones in school as they are a valuable learning tool. Handphones allow students to research stuff quickly and stay updated with school anno/uncements. They also provide a sense of safety, as students can contact their parents in emergencies. Therefore, instead of banning handphones, schools should allow handphone usage during recess and lunch time to encourage responsible behaviour.

[link to stand]
While some adults argue that handphones are a source of distraction that kills discipline and academic focus in schools, others see that these devices have evolved into powerful tools that help with learning and responsibility when used appropriately.

[stand]
Therefore, rather than imposing a complete ban, handphone usage should not be banned in schools, usage should just be regulated as it could help with students' learning.

recent discussions as it rises in popularity.

[perspective 1]Most students believe that the usage of hand phones are important for their well being since they think that it can help them to bond with their friends, as well as providing a means of relaxation through games or social media like Tik Tok or Instagram.

[perspective 2] However, parents and adults disagree as they feel that the phones draw their attention away from the important things like their studies. They feel that entertainment and bonding can be achieved outside the screens, by going out with friends, or finding a new hobby.

[Hook]

Global issues are rapidly escalating day by day , as problems such as political conflicts, climate change and social inequality are no longer distant or unfamiliar topics but urgent challenges that affect countries and communities across the world.

[Transition statement]

Despite being constantly exposed to news reports and social media discussions about these worldwide concerns, many people continue to question whether the youth truly understand the seriousness of such problems or simply view them as background noise in their daily lives.

[Stand]

I firmly believe that young people today do not care enough about global issues, as many remain indifferent to international affairs and prioritise personal interests over taking meaningful action to address the problems facing the world.

WHAT TO DO

1. Craft a parargraph using Background info. on the theme of whether teenagers should pay attention to their diet / any technology related topic.

2. Highlight or bold vocab & fig.

In today’s fast-paced society, many teenagers are often busy with schoolwork and activities, causing them to neglect their diet. With easy access to fast food and sugary drinks, unhealthy eating habits have become increasingly common. As Gordon Ramsay, a world-famous chef, once said, “Food should make you feel good, not guilty.” This raises an important question: should teenagers pay attention to their diet?

Should teenagers pay attention to their diet?

[HOOK]
With demanding school schedules, long hours of screen time, and easy access to fast food, many teenagers choose convenience over nutrition when it comes to their meals. Sugary snacks and processed foods have become a daily habit rather than an occasional treat.

[TRANSITION / LINK]
Although these food choices may provide quick satisfaction, they often lack the nutrients needed for proper growth, focus, and sustained energy during adolescence, a critical stage of physical and mental development.

[STAND]
For this reason, teenagers should pay close attention to their diet, as healthy eating habits not only improve concentration and mood but also help prevent future health problems and build a strong foundation for lifelong well-being.

digital devices such as the handphones are slowly ruining our brains. its an easy 70%-80% of teenagers using their phones immediately after waking up. you could say that they're "just checking messages" or "just turning off the alarm" they set the day before, but it eventually leads to them using their phone and forgetting to get out of bed.

yes, it doesn't happen to everyone, but it happens to most teenagers, especially adults. an unknown said, "social media creates communities, not markets." this quote is about

Teenage years are a start to independence, growth and learning. It is also a pivotal period for health at its peak as our metabolism etc is good.

A healthy diet is crucial to bon health, muscle development, and mental health. It is also recorded that 1 in 5 youths have obesity or near obesity, which is malignal. Junk food should be avoided if possible as it usually has a hefty amount of unhealthy ingredients. Antonius Nikolas, a TedX talker, once said, "Don't just eat to stop your hunger. Eat to fuel your future. Think of your plate as a rainbow, the more colors you include, the more power you give your body and brain.", meaning nutrition is not just a meal, but also an investment to a healthier body.

Hence, i think teenagers should pay attention to their diet

With the rates of obesity slowly rising over the years, the topic of whether teenagers should pay attention to their diet is becoming a trending question. Inadequate nutrition during this time can lead to problems such as stunted growth, delayed development, and disrupted energy levels that affect mood and school performance

[Stand] I believe that teenagers should pay attention to their diet.

(Stand) Therefore, I think that teenagers should pay attention to their diets, but in a healthy and moderate way, not obsessively or for appearance-based reasons.

DONALD J TRUMP,the current president of USA,once remarked,"Today, a new frontier of scientific discovery lies before us,

defined by transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence."The significance of technology is unquestionable. It is imperative to develop technology for a country to win over other countries and improve people's lives.

In conclusion, handphones should be banned for children under the age of 16 as excessive use can negatively affect their mental health, academic performance and social skills. Without constant access to handphones, children can better focus on their studies and build healthier real life relationships. Christian Lous Lange, a prominent Norwegian historian, teacher, and political scientist, once said, “Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.” Technology should support and assist us, not control our lives. When we use technology wisely and remain in control, it brings many benefits. However, when we become overly dependent on it, technology can cause more harm than good. Therefore, banning handphones for children under 16 helps ensure their overall well-being and development.

Even if technology is efficient and is very advanced, it can affect us more negatively than positively. We will get addicted, that leading to mental health problems and physical problems. Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, once said, "Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master." Therefore, I agree that technology does more harm than good.

Conclusion:

To answer the question on whether technology can truly be detrimental to people's well-being, I would like to refer to a quote relating to such. Christian Lous Lange, the political scientist who won the 1921 Nobel Peace Prize for his work as Secretary-General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, once said, “Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master." If technology is really is just used to assist us in our daily tasks, than it would be just a tool, however, if we let ourself rely purely on technology and have no mind of our own, we would be more of a tool to them than they are to us.

Arthur C. Clarke, a British Science fiction writer and inventor, once said," "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indiguishable from magic." This means that technology can achieve results that may seem magical to ordinary people, such advancements allow humans to solve problems, improve communication, and increase efficiency in daily life. In a nutshell, technology is a very useful tool that allows people to progress.

Jay Baer, renowned Hall of Fame keynote speaker,7th-generation entrepreneur, and author of 7 business books specializing in customer experience, marketing, and AI said "Content is fire and social media is gasoline." This means that content is what starts interest, like a fire, while social media makes it spread much faster and wider, like gasoline fueling the flame. This shows that social media is a salient part of a teenagers everyday lives

Conclusion: In conclusion, I agree that technology is continuously improving. However, how beneficial it becomes depends on how people use it. As Tim Berners-Lee said, “You affect the world by what you browse,” which shows that our choices online can shape technology and society. If users are responsible and thoughtful, technology can continue to improve our lives in positive ways.

In conclusion, technology is not harmful to society if it is used responsibly and in moderation. While it can lead to problems such as overdependence and reduced face-to-face interaction, technology has also greatly improved communication, education and daily life. As Albert Einstein , a renowned scientist once said, “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” This means that people may rely too much on technology and forget the importance of human values such as kindness, empathy and real-life connections, showing why technology should be used carefully.

Conclusion:To answer, Ai has been more useful in this time of day. However, it will get more advanced in the future.AI will replace some routine or repetitive jobs, but it will also create new opportunities in tech, creative, and strategic roles. Most work will evolve into a human and AI partnership rather than disappear completely.However, BF skinner, an american physciologist and behaviourist, once said "The real problem is not whether machines think or whether men do." People who adapt and learn to work with AI will benefit the most.Therefore Ai will create more opportunities rather than taking jobs.

AI can be extremely useful with day-to-day tasks, managing housework, plans and even activites, possibilites are near limitless. From controlling household appliances, to assisting with multi-million dollar corporations, AI has a vast range of abilities. Although, Christian Lous Lange, a well-known Norwegian Historian once said, "Technology is a great service, but a dangerous master." Therefore, under the right circumstances, AI should be considered in today's society.

Thus, technology which is ever changing and developing should not be prohibited from youths as it is useful but in moderation. A famous American rapper and dancer, MC Hammer, once said that "Technology is important because it creates the future. We're able to be a part of the 'next' and create things that don't exist." Therefore, youths who often have creative minds and ideas could use technology to create something new into the world, they could be the next inventor like Thomas Edison. Technology can be useful, it is just how you use it that is the issue.

In conclusion, I agree that technology should be apart if daily life. It is the backbone of our lives.

Technology reshapes society, offering immense productivity benefits from personal use to helping others. Matt Mullenweg, a web developer, once said,"Technology is better when it brings people together." If technology is used properly and with reason, it would be helpful for the society. Therefore, technology should be normalised when used properly.

In conclusion, social media is a platform that can be very fun to use when used appropriately. However, if used irresponsibly, social media can be a very dangerous place that could cause issues in mental health and what not. As Jay Baer, a famous book writer, once said, "Content is fire, social media is gasoline." Therefore, i believe that social media should not be normalised in teenagers' lives as the negative consequences outweighs the benefits and thrill teenagers' may get when using it.

Technology and robots may be able to replicate the physical aspect of a job,but they will never be able to replicate the passion or environment of the job.Gary kasparov.chess player."Ai wont replace humans,but humans using ai will."If you dont work hard for your job ai will.

Some people argue that students should not use technology for studying because it can be distracting and reduce critical thinking. However, when used responsibly, technology actually enhances learning by providing quick access to information and interactive tools that support understanding. Albert Einstein, best known for developing the theory of relativity, once attributed, “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” This reminds us that the issue is not technology itself, but how it is used. Therefore, technology should be embraced as a helpful study tool rather than avoided.

Christian Lous Lange, who was one of the world's foremost exponents of the theory and practice of internationalism, once said, "Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master." Today, this is of colossal relevance as the evolution of AI has been exponential in the past decade, with the threat of AI being a evergrowing, prevalent worry, and the line between master and servant blurring every so slightly every year, becoming a larger and larger threat to the job market of today.

In conclusion, society has become too accustomed to the use of technology. Ever since apps that were developed to allow society to do everything online, such as grocery shopping or banking, society has now developed into a place where not using these apps and technology, life becomes more inconvienient. Christian Lous Lange, a Nobel Peace Prize awardee, once said,"Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.” This quote means that while the advancing technology makes life more convienient, we should not rely on it. Therefore, I feel like society has become to dependant on technology.

In conclusion, I agree that technology is harmful to teenagers when it is used incorrectly. It causes many detrimental effects on us, addiction, reduced face to face communication and many other things. Albert Einstein, a famous Theoretical physicist, once said,"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity." It means that as technology improves, people's humanity becomes worse and worse, showing that techology can be more harmful than helpful as technology improves.

Technology does not make society lazy , but it changes how people use their energy. While it can be used for convenience and reduce physical effort, it also increases efficiency, productivity, and access to knowledge in ways that were impossible difficult to accomplish before. Before hand, it took hours for people to complete some things and now, it can be completed within minutes, allowing people to focus on their creativity.Tim O'Rilley, the tech publisher and think behind O'Rilley Media , once said , ''Technology shapes what we can do , and not what we want to do.'' This showws that technology also helps society work smarter instead of harder, improves communication, and supports progress in education, healthcare, and everyday life. Therefore, technology is more effective than harmful. It becomes a tool for advancement rather than laziness, depending on how individuals and society choose to use it.

In conclusion technology itself is not dangerous, but the way people rely on it can make it harmful. Christian Lous Lange, was a prominent Norwegian historian, teacher and political scientist, once said ''technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master” suggests, technology should support human needs rather than control them. When used responsibly and in moderation. It helps make daily lives easier as it helps communication, learning and more.

Conclusion : I n conclusion, AI should be involved in students education despite the harm it may cause as it is a useful tool that helps students during this fast paced world. Christian Lous Lange, a Norwegian historian, teacher, once said, "Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master." Thus, it allows students to have a interactive help tool however students should not rely entirely on the use of AI when studying or learning.

General of the us army,Omar Bradley once said,'If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.'Many people these days use technology unresponsibly not knowing.But technology actually is dangerous!
