Technology Is Easy

Superior Essays
Today our parents ' believe that we have it easy and wonder why we are always on technology. Us teens might have it easy sometimes, but on some days we have it hard. Teens go through a lot of stuff that we don 't even want to tell our parents. Let 's just say that this girl named Claire is having a hard time in high school. She constantly gets bullied at school and out of school on social media. The bullies pick on her, because they think that she doesn 't in or doesn 't look pretty enough. So, Claire looks at herself in the mirror everyday wishing that she can improve what 's on her body. This can make us teens go into depression or even think about suicide.

To be honest I kind of agree with them, because I can be lazy sometimes. Especially during the weekends! All I want to do is eat, sleep, watch Netflix, and repeat the next day.

I, such as, still watch and enjoy Sponge bob or I 'll end up playing with my brother toys ' when he drags me in there with him. Sometimes the “older generation” can be lazy, too. So, you cannot call us lazy when you are being lazy right along with us on some …show more content…
They didn’t have the things that we have now! Basically instead of phones they had pagers, which was way cooler back then. If you asked your parents or a family member, if they would rather use a pager than a phone, they possibility would be a yes. Recently, I just asked my aunt if she would go back to a pager. She responded with a smile on her face saying, “Yes! I would go back to a pager. We are empty with these phones that we have now”. Now our generation complains and complains almost about every hour of the day. We don’t want to go to school, but if we do, we don’t want to go work. We don’t want whatever our parents is getting us to eat, complaining that we can’t go nowhere, complaining that we have too much homework, or complaining that we are bored to death. I complained many times along with the others, but I have returned to planet Earth. You can’t get everything you want in life. We already get everything handed to us without working for it. Back then our parents had to work for what they want. Not everything was handed to

    Introduction “School transitions are a pressing issue to practitioners; however, surprisingly little research exists about the extent to which school transitions pose a challenge and cause academic and social performance declines” (Malaspina, D., & Rimm-Kaufman, S.
