Curiosity killed the cat, right? What about teenagers? What happened to them? Oh, that's right... Society killed the teenager. According to a survey conducted in 2012 by Stage of Life, an American site where students have the opportunity to share their experiences and stories, more than half (52% to be exact) of high school and university students believe that social media media push them to change their body image. This shows us how powerful the company truly is. “Everything will be fine,” these are the words that almost every teenager has heard from parents, older siblings, relatives or friends. Despite this, every teenager believes exactly the opposite. We live in a constantly changing society and there is no way to stop it. Evolving paradigms, social standards expected by society, and the rise of technology and social media make teenagers feel that every single move they make will get them in the long run. Society will never remain the same. Think about it: within a year, how many new trends or fads will come into the mix? There are so many changes occurring in every aspect of society, including music, fashion, and the economy, just to list a few. Many sets of assumptions, concepts and values ​​that represent a view of reality are bounced around society. These are paradigms: they exist everywhere. We are exposed to paradigms on a daily basis or may even be exposed to them ourselves without even realizing it. One notable change is the swearing. They have transformed in such a way that the original meaning of the words has been lost. Decades ago, the term “gadzooks” was considered vulgar. The connotative definition of this word has progressively evolved over the years, as is evident from the modern use of swear words. People often remember past exes… middle of paper… who in turn devolved our own species. We are now deprived of the most basic human social interactions. Over time, everything changes. It's a funny thing. We are never quite sure what we are becoming or why. Then one day we look at ourselves and wonder who we are and how we got there. And to be honest, more and more changes will happen as time goes by and there is nothing we can do to stop it. The development of paradigms, social standards, and the importance of social media and technology have led all people, but especially teenagers, to worry excessively about the little things in life. This is when even the smallest things can affect how we feel, think and act. But ask yourself this: Will what you worry about now be worth the stress in 20 years? As Richard Carlson says: “Don't sweat the small stuff... and it's all the small stuff”.
