Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image”

Social media is probably the worst thing ever invented. All I know is that im glad im not 14 and in this time of Facebook fame and twitter etc. Even myself, I find it daunting, the photos, the self portrayal. Social media offers a certain amount of notoriety to the self, offering an opening for people to witness your paramount of 2 am, and your most confrontational photos. I can only imagine how young girls feel pressured to make themselves up on such a social media platform. Compulsively binding to trends and offering as much provocativeness as a young person can to keep up with what we all know to have followed, the stuff in the magazines, the things we see on tv. The damage that can be done is unsurpassed from the whispers behind ones back which could be left to the school hallways and muted out of homes. There is a certain amount of manipulation that can happen with only a few hits of keys and electronic actions disseminated on a personal page. I don’t know what we did before, or what maybe I would be doing instead as ive never lived without it.
