Problems our Generation faces. Every generation has problems. There are so many problems and situations our generation faces that has made us all shape into the individuals we are today.
Many of the problems and situations such as judgment, depression & social media which is leading our generation and generations to come, down hill. One of the main problems our generation has been facing is the dealings of judgment. It is so rare now if you can find someone who doesn’t care about what other people think.In this generation there are so many ways girls are displayed as how they’re supposed to look, how they’re supposed to act, what they’re supposed to wear, they’re mainly pointed to look like Barbie. Guys are stereotyped as the “jerks” of the sexes. If you don’t have the right clothes, the right hair style, right hair color, the new brand of shoes, clothing, if your nails aren’t done, if you haven’t seen ever movie out, if you don’t have a nice brand of makeup, if your house isn’t big enough, if you don’t have a nice car, if you don’t have nice things or lots of money, you get judged on that too.
Teens of this generation feel like you have to be in the loop or have all the cool things everyone else has just so you can fit in and be accepted into society. A big solution to this would be for people just to not care about what other people do, and for teens to not care what their peers think about them. It all has to do with confidence in themselves, which most teens that are letting judgment effect them, don’t have. On the subject about judgment, depression is the second biggest problem this generation is facing .
There’s a new story everyday about someone self-harming or someone who has committed suicide. This has so much to do with the social media, bullying, bad relationships, family problems, etc. It brings teens to the point where they don’t know where they’re supposed to turn. Teens self-harm because of bullying when people are harassing them to the point when they feel there is no other way. It goes together with social media, because if someone is talking about you on twitter, facebook, everyone joins in because nothing is happening to their face.
It is all behind a computer or a phone screen and when it comes down to things like that, people have no self control, no filter and they’re not afraid to say anything which leaves the one getting bullied hopeless. Also, with bad relationships with friendships, family, or a boyfriend/girlfriend. If a relationship has a bad ending, someone might feel like they have no other place to go, then to their bathroom to cut, or to their medicine cabinet to overdose, or even to the point where they just end their life. There are so many ways we can prevent self-harm and suicide.
Just simply tell an adult about it, talk to them about it, try and get them help. If teens would stop harassment on social media sites and stop being so judgmental. Depression can be stopped with just a simple smile from someone who looks down, positive vibes could mean a lot to someone in need of them. A last thing that is effecting the way our generation is, is the media.
With the shows we watch, the songs we listen to, the things we hear on the news, our generation is all about sex, drug-addicts, alcoholics, smokers, and violence.There are more and more gun shootings every single day, our country is going into debt, the language, the kidnaps, everything is effecting the way teens live today. It is effecting teens by the way they act, the way they talk, and the way they look at life. Teens think by the songs they listen to and the movies they watch that all they’re supposed to do is have sex, smoke, drink and party. The news casts do nothing but put negative thoughts in teens heads because all you ever hear about is deaths, Many generations have had it’s problems, and it’s getting worse and worse as the years go on.
