...a lot. Teenage relationships play a big role in developing the capacity for long-term, committed relationships in their adulthood. The relationships developed during teen years have a big impact on school life with teen’s academics and the way they play in sports. The relationships teens involve themselves with can negatively affect their academic and social life. It may bring out the worst in them and may cause grades to slip and their outlook on school to change. My fellow class mate Gina stated, “Arguing with my partner during the day causes me to have an attitude at school and may cause me to focus less on my school work.” This causes grades to fall and they may get sidetracked of what really matters because they’re worried about an argument that happened with a peer. School sports also have an effect on teen relationships. My other fellow classmate Monica says, “sports put a damper on my relationship at times because volleyball and football season were at the same time and we barely had time to communicate with each other cause of games, practice and also school work. “But they -found a way to work around it by sitting together at lunch since they have the same lunch period, hanging out on the weekend, and before practices they would often do homework together. Also according to an teenage article by Teen Ink they say, “Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some start to fail in school because they are hanging out with their...

...Negative Effects of Social Media on Society and Teens Tyler Clementi, 18 was a regular freshman who was passionate about playing the violin and was still very new to his gay identity. Instead of enjoying college life at Rutgers University, his first semester proved to be a disaster experiencing the tauntment of tweets and statuses from other students behind computer screens and key boards. Cyberbullying is not the only negative effect that social media has on teens and society but she shares the biggest impact. It can be used through so many ways especially through social networking sites. All media sites construct reality that has powerful, yet subtle implications. The media has the ability to influence how teens and society think, shop, dress, behave, judge people and feel about other individuals. Some of these influences cause social and health issues. Social networking is not safe enough to protect anyone that has access to the internet.

...Abstract Internet censorship is a control or suppression of publishing or accessing of information on the Internet. The Internet has become a “member” of almost every single family on our planet. It’s not just an ordinary member, but a very important one, especially too someone who spends a lot of time using the Internet. The Internet is a very useful tool that is used for everything such as advertisement, communication, shopping, researching and also for educational purpose. On the Internet, there’re some websites that needs to be censored in order to protect our children from viewing inappropriate websites that promote drug usage, violence and pornography. Parents and school officials are the first ones who need to begin the process of censoring out those inappropriate websites. The Internet is an easy way to access all sorts of information. Because the Internet has become so popular in such a short period of time, the opportunity to censor it has passed by almost as quickly as the public discovered its usefulness to our everyday lives. The Internet has some bad source of information that’s not helpful to our kids. Parents and schools officials are the ones who should start the process of censoring those websites that our kids view each and every day of their lives. Because they are ones who know what sorts of information on the Internet that is best for our kids. So that’s why, Internet censorship should be enacted to prevent teenagers from viewing inappropriate websites...

...The Effects of Media, Video Games, or Internet- Based Social Media on Teen Behavior Name Institution Introduction Behaviors are influenced by the concepts of learning and conditioning. Learning is a natural process that occurs passively. Everyone gets new ideas that are indicative of the process of learning. The study of the relationship between learning and behavior is significant. This is because we need to understand how behaviors are leaned before changing them. The concepts of behavior and learning are essential for parenting. The three common learning styles include auditory (where learning is achieved through the sense of hearing), visual (where a learner grasps knowledge through seeing the learning materials) and the kinesthetic style where learners learn by interacting with materials of study by hand. Conditioning is the process of pairing a certain stimulus with an existing one. In relation to the concepts of conditioning and learning, I shall discuss the effects of media, video games and internet-based social media on teen behavior (Wade, 2010). Aggression There are various effects of media, video games or internet-based social media on the behavior of teens. One of the behaviors induced by the above named vices is aggression.

...many others also agree social networking is causing negative effects in our society. In the article “ Teenage Social Media Butterflies May Not Be Such a Bad Idea,” it states, “ teens who struggle with depression or aggressive or delinquent behavior are more likely to find… digital land mines. Unsettled teens more likely to harass, bully and even take online risk.” Another way to say this is kids who are not well adjusted and have the freedom to go online will only find trouble online. This is important because kids could get hurt by the troubled kids online. In the article “Antisocial Networking?” it states, “ worry about the social… darker side of online interactions, like cyber-bullying or texting sexually explicit messages.” This shows that the internet gives people so much freedom that they show the monster they really are behind a computer or cell phone screen by cyber-bullying people.

...The effects of the dependence of technology on teens Cindy Marczak American Intercontinental University April 19, 2015 The Effects of the Dependence of Technology on Teens When it comes to technology we live in a world that has technology everywhere. It can be as simple as someone listening to an mp3 player to listen to music to complex as using a machine to help diagnose illness in the medical world. So growing up with all this technology can cause a lot of teens think that it is normal part of everyday life. So because of this a lot of teens take it for granted and in doing so have lost certain social and academic skills. One of the problems that these teens face is that they lose major academic skills such as knowing how to look up information without a phone or computer. One of the main points of using technology is to help make things easier which it does. But while doing so most kids used to go to the library to study by reading and researching in books. Now it’s totally different with technology you can just type in what you want to find in any search engine and bam there is all your information you could ever need. When there is no internet or signal to use this technology most teens don’t have these research skills that they need. It’s great to do be able to find all this information at once. But a lot of the time they want to find the information and expect it that fast. They have to get everything instant gratification...

...to family, friends, coworkers and classmates is via social media. Today, there are numerous sites available and with technology are readily accessible to anyone of any age. For children, becoming a member of these sites can expose them to situations and experiences that can have both a positive or negative effect. It opens the door for them to be cyber bullied or can expose them to a new form of peer pressure. Social media sites allow round the clock access to everyone so that we can all be “connected”.

...20th century cannot imagine their lives without TV, smart phones, computers, tablets, or iPods and many other devices; youth have technology surrounding them. As a result, many of the young people raised in the world of technology do not have the same level of emotional skills of those ten or more years ago. Adolescents and children depend on the Internet more than on themselves. They no longer have the same innovativeness. Obesity and cyber bulling has increased over the years. More suicides have occurred. Those who are exposed to violent video games, movies and TV programs have shown aggression. However, parents do not realize how those devices affect their child’s development. Social media already affects many adults; now think about how strongly modern technology affects toddlers and juveniles. High tech devices are damaging our brains more than benefiting us; children and adolescents do not have control over their phones, computers, and video games any more, as adults we need to recognize the devastating that these devices can be for juveniles. Social media is affecting people mentally and physically, and without a doubt has an effect on adolescents of today’s...

...Ashlyn Oswalt Facebook Me Happy February 28, 2012 1 Ashlyn Oswalt Tweeting and friending used to conjure up images of birds and human contact. Tumbling meant rolling down a sloped hill and “Myspace” referred to the personal area one called his own. Today, all these words revert back to one image: humans spending unlimited amounts of time in front of a computer screen, “socializing.” The generations that precede the current are always looking for an outside force to blame for the corruption of youth, and today social media takes the cake. This corruption has been the increasing cause of clinical illnesses, behavioral changes, and suicide. The invention of the internet brought many exciting avenues to investigate. World Wide Web users quickly realized that they could easily make contact with people outside their immediate area without ever leaving their homes or picking up a phone. Connecting with family overseas or making cyberfriends hailing from exotic hometowns quickly grew to be the norm and letters and phone calls quickly became obsolete. The first major social networking site, Myspace, was geared towards teenagers and emerging musical artists. The site took off running, with over 100 million users in three years. Myspace encouraged users to share photos, feelings, thoughts, and build an arsenal of friends. Although Myspace use has since declined, it has sparked similar versions such as Facebook and Twitter. According to the Facebook website, the site is 800...

...The three main problems that Hymowitz mentions in her essay "Tweens: Ten going on Sixteen" is how young children have now been involved in sexual activities, drugs/alcohol, violence, and most of all the appearances they have come to develop so quickly. The transition of children to teens has been influenced by much of the modern world around them. Currently there has been an increasingly amount of difference between past generations. Children are learning bad behaviors earlier than usual and obtaining bad habits at early ages. This has caused preteens to be categorized as a younger group. They all seem to want to grow up so fast and aren't really concerned about their childhood years. Children these days have rapidly caught on to older peoples...
