The Deterioration of Humanity!

            Social media has damaged our mentalities more then we actually think. The 21^st century formed social media and the use of it in ways that humans could have never imagined. Being intrusive is defined as causing disruption or annoyance through being unwelcome or uninvited which is indeed what the social media world is for many reasons. Most of us don’t realize it but social media is a constant annoyance because we actually compare our lives to everyone else’s, we’re always looking at who’s making the most money, has the best clothes, cars, love life etc. When in all reality social media is what people WANT you to see and not what REAL life is. Social media never wants to show the hardships and the downfalls and the real steps of the journey of life…. The mistakes, the messing up, the stress, the sadness the actual raw moments. Social media and the people on it are a facade *doesn’t mean that everyone isn’t genuine* but most people aren’t. Comparing our everyday lives to all these lies on the internet of money, fame and clothes being more important than being happy has caused us to lose our humanity. I myself check social media before I ever brush my teeth, I know it’s toxic but I honestly just can’t stop and it’s sad that this is how our generation is and it’s only going to get worse from here. There is no saving us from the toxicity of social media because it is legit EVERYWHERE. In my everyday life I probably check Instagram and twitter about one hundred times a day, I drag the time of doing my homework because I’m always taking “breaks” to check Instagram and to be honest NOTHING is going on on there. Social media has also been ruining people’s lives by ruining their mental health by everyone being so negative… people feel like they can say such hurtful things all the time in people’s comments because they are behind a phone or computer, people comment on other people’s kids, dead relatives, and just have no type of respect at all. Social media isn’t all negative though because social media is the reason why a lot of people have jobs and are millionaires, it has made a lot of small businesses grow. For example, Amour Jayda is a public figure on social media and an influencer. Amour Jayda grew her business by selling hair, clothes, accessories, hair products etc. She is only twenty and Is already a self made millionaire and that’s amazing to think about because years ago it was very rare to be a millionaire and I do not think this could have happened without the help of social media and with the help of her fans/supporters. Social media has helped our generation be the generation of opportunities, hope, entrepreneurship etc. Social media has many negative aspects that does out weight the good in my opinion but it has also opened up many opportunities for our generation.
