How Using Social Media Affects Teenagers

Many of our parents are worried right now on how social media affects us especially for teenagers. We can confidently say that our technology right now is on a continuous process on upgrading which gives big impact in our lives especially on doing things much easier and making our gadgets gain powerful features which can also helps our work make faster than before like the feature on iPhone which we call “Siri” that is easily accessible for everyone when you have an internet connection you just need to say what you want to do or just say who do you want to call to, what do you want to know or search from the internet. Siri is an artificial intelligence app that can follow orders that can approach your expectations but not all. 

But despite of its amazing features and help in our lives there’s also a bad effects for us especially also in teenagers. We knew many student like us is using social media which result of not doing their homeworks, delay of passing their projects and not focusing in their review fro their exam which also result for gaining low grades in their academic subjects. We also knew that many of us (teenagers) spend more time in social media for hours until on bedtime which can give a high percentage of vulnerability in teenagers to talk to strangers or make friends with others, make some accompany, fling with other teenagers and get some love from their chatmates that can result to go in the wrong path which can be the reason to destroy their lives. Also, they can face cyber bullying in social media which is the most common problem in some part of the world because of spending too much time in the internet and using social media as a common past-time nowadays.

I've never been good with my judgements. I'm indecisive as fuck and I look back and regret almost half of all the decisions I made. Something always makes me feel there must be something, somewhere, or someone, that is better. Whether it's about what shirt to buy, what food to eat, where to go or whom to be with. I'm not sure whether it's the 'what if's' that's holding me back, or the desire for something better. See, I can't even decide on what to blame.

The thing is, I try to find the logic in everything. Which almost always leads to my illogical decisions and regret. A game of push and pull, looking for adventure but being scared of the unknown. But growing up, I realized I won't be able to discover what my heart truly desire unless I look for it. Good thing you found me, trying to let my toes kiss the seemingly harsh waves of the ocean while I'm safely standing at bay. You held my hand and ran with me and I let go of all the worries. I wonder how you did it but it doesn't matter now. I just want you to know, and you deserve to know, that you won the tug of war, by pulling my rope of do's and don'ts from the middle, gaining balance and control over me.
