Unsocial networks

Being a teenager, I spend a lot of time on websites such as Facebook and Twitter, checking them frequently through my phone as they are so easily accessible and a quick and simple way to talk to friends no matter where they are. In that sense, these social media sites are great. 

However, it does make us lazy, it is easier to send a simple message than to actually pick up the phone and talk to people (like who does that anymore) it may also mean that we don't see as much of our friends and family as we feel that we don't need to, because we can talk to them through these sites. 

It is only once they are no longer there to talk to that we realise how much we miss them. My advice would be to meet up with friends, with family. Yes, you may be able to talk to them through these sites which is great but don't rely on them. You're not going to make memories by sitting on a computer all day. 

Unfortunately we are the lazy generation, bought up surround by easy access technology, we do not write letters and very rarely phone anyone but I think we should pick up the phone occasionally (since it's constantly in our hands anyway) and at least hear the voice of those we care about.
