You can't get away

Everyone knows what they are....
As soon as you set your eyes on it, they never leave...
There is no escape to...
The world of the Social Network.
Facebook, Twitter.. Tumbler are all websites which the majority of the world has heard of, unless you live in a country which has no Internet. The extent to which Facebook, Twitter, and other social platforms have taken over people’s lives, people live life glued to screens. I am one of those victims who spend every waking moment on facebook, looking at pictures, making statuses and liking. I can't actually remember a time when I didn't used to come home and turn on my laptop and go on facebook. Yes does sound bad, but does it also have its advantages?
I mean you get to talk to your friends for free. You can talk to people from all over the world without going through the hassle of skyping or phoning lots of different numbers.  Also helps us reconnect with old friends from childhood. Is that not a good thing?
The use of social networking sites allows us to be updated with the latest news and events going on; breaking news always get sent sites like a house on fire and millions of people can see it within a few minutes.

However, the things we do on these websites, especially teenage girls, just make me think what is our generation doing in life?
I think girls have been the most affected by facebook, especially on the comments of photos. First of all there are the photos, and yes I may be being a bit hypercritical as I do, do the 'selfie'. The picture which takes days to prepare for. You need the perfect background, make-up, hair, clothes.... and don't forget effects. The process to make one picture, which ends up looking nothing like you, it astonishes me.After the photo is taken there are the comments from the other girls. Even if you are an arch enemy of her you are obliged to like the photo and comment 'OMG you're such a stunner xxxxx'. You honestly can't get more two-faced than that. Then there's always those comments such as 'so beautiful <3'..' Go get ugly xx' and your like what do I reply.... The same response is always, 'So do you xx' and inside you're thinking what else am I supposed to say?.
Unlike girls, boys are very upfront with their emotions and comment going 'That's cool' or ' you are so gay' and boys don't take offence. Girls would get really insecure about comments so we need to be complimented.

I have much more to say about the work of social networking sites, some good, some bad. Well best be going of to take a selfie now.
