8.Social media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today's world.A study conducted (实施) by the US think tank (智囊团) Pew Research Center showed that 92percent of teenagers go online daily.The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers'lives.
Changing relationships
High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face-to-face communication.
"It makes in-person relationships harder because people give attention to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends,"Cooper said.
There's also a greater possibility of things getting lost in translation over social media.
"If half of your relationship is over social media,you don't really know how the other person is reacting,"Sienna Schulte,a junior student from Illinois,said.
Yet,some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere.Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media.He currently lives in Scotland,but they're still able to frequently communicate with one another.
"I can feel close to someone that I'm talking to via (通过) FaceTime,"Kaplan said.
Wanting to be"liked"
The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves.
The 19-year-old Essena O'Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her obsessed (痴迷) with appearing perfect online.
Negative comments also can do great damage to a teenager's self-esteem (自尊).
In particular,anonymous (匿名的) social media apps such as Yik Yak may provide opportunities for cyber bullying (网络欺凌).
The app allows users within 5miles (8km) to create and add comments to everything.Teenagers who get negative comments on these sites can't help but feel hurt.
Opening new doors
However,Armin Korsos,a student from Illinois,takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site Youtube.
"Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that was never possible before,"Korsos said.
But Korsos recognizes that social media has become a distraction (让人分心的事).
"Social media,though it helps people connect with their friends and stay updated (信息更新的),is not all necessary."

Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab.One day I was in a taxi and we headed(37)Dthe airport.We were driving in the(38)Blane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver slammed on his(39)A.slide sideways.and at the very last moment our car stopped and(40)Cthe other car by just inches!The driver of the ther car,the guy who almost caused a big accident,looked around and started(41)Dat us.
My taxi driver just(42)Band waved at the guy.And I mean,he was(43)Aso I said,"Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"This is when my taxi driver aught me what I now call"The Law of the Garbage Truck".
He said,"Many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of(44)C,fall of frustration,full of anger,and fall of disappointment.As their garbage (45)Dup,they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on(46)C.Don't take it personally; Just smile,wave,wish them well,and move on.Believe me.You'll be(47)B."
So I started thinking,how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me?And how often do I take their garbage and(48)Ait to other people at work,at home,or on the street?It was then that I said,"I don't want their garbage and I'm not going to spread it anymore."
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with(49)D.The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what's (50)Bin your life.See,Roy Baumeister,a psychology researcher from Florida State University,found in his extensive research that you(51)Abad things more often than good things in your life.You store the bad memories more easily,and you(52)Cthem more frequently.So love the people who treat you right.Ignore the ones who don't.Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you(53)Bit!The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way,but when you follow"The Law of the Garbage Truck",you take back control of your life.You make room for the good by(54)Ago of the bad.
Have a Garbage-Free Day!Have a marvelous,garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today (55)Dthe harvest you reap tomorrow.
