“The pros and Cons of Social Media”

The technology of Social Media can also result in problems, fights and get bully. Using social media you can meet other new people. Meeting new people you have no idea who they are. They can actually lie about their age and that’s what’s been happening daily. News sources have reported that teenagers meet new people through Social Media and the people they meet tell them they’re around the age of 15 when they’re actually like a 40 year old pedophiles. I personally believe that once you start to get the hang of Facebook, Twitter, Etc. you start to get “addicted “to it. Starting fights on Social Media with people you don’t even know telling them “I hate you” etc. and easily get away with it.

Once you start using Social Media it’s hard to stop using Social Media, you at a point get addicted to it. Not just Social media but using Technology, it’s like everywhere you go there won’t be a decent time that you won’t see teenagers using their phone. Technology distracts you from a lot of your own leisure activities like physical involvement, nutrition and dieting, enjoying the outdoors, and more.

Social Media can be good when you have your friends, family that you can are distance that can’t actually talk or socialize, you can always chat with them online.

A Sting of A Scorpion

A little young boy were camping out in the Desert, when he decides to take a little walk around the sand. He wants to go look around the desert, his parents tell him to put his shoes on, but he disagrees and puts his sandals on which he think are shoes too. As he was walking around the desert he feel strong sharp pain on his leg, as he looks down to see what it was he sees a big black scorpion. The pain got worst as he yelled out to his parents for help , parents soon find him and take him to the nearest hospital that was 2 hours away , as the arrive at the hospital the little boy gets a shot that will numb his leg and will let the pain go away.

The lesson this story gave me is when somebody tells you something, they give you advice they do it for your own good. If parents or maybe even friends give you advise you should take it, instead of you learning the hard way. This little young boy had then regretted not listening to his parents and thinking sandals were perfectly find for him to walk around the hot desert. Times were you don’t take the advice people give you might just lead you to the wrong road , and you’ll end up learning from your mistakes your own way. You choose the wrong decision you get bad consequences ,  in the other side you listen to what other people tell you , you'll get rewarded with good consequences.
