My Opinion of Social Media

I am not trying to make myself look good when I say this but, I am not self centered at all. I have never taken a selfie, I have never posted a picture on social media, I generally do not care what people think of me, and frankly I have never had an Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Myspace or anything of that nature. I am also fairly reserved and I do not care to show off my life to other people. Truthfully, I would say that I do not have more than ten to twelve really good friends (I have more than twelve friends), because I would much rather communicate in person so I don't have to decipher written messages.

The reason I am telling you this is because I think social media is the reason people will say things like, "kids these days", or "what is wrong with today's generation". Social media in its essence is good and even some things like the Ice Bucket Challenge, and keeping up with family and friends are great, but most of it is a pure waste of time. People, especially young teenagers, need to spend time talking to people not typing comments to them on Social Media all the time or else they wont develop proper social skills.
