This is going to be about how we shouldn't blame social media. I have only done two challenges and the only two I did we’re: Setting myself on fire with hand Sanitizer and a lighter, and the other one was not my choice to do it. I had to because my sister made me, it was the cinnamon challenge, after that I have never done another challenge and the one’s I did weren’t harmful because they didn’t hurt me right, I mean I’m still here. The reason for this is because some kids still think that it’s…

Growing up can be a time of epic but simultaneously pointless inner turmoil. Jim Stark (played naturally by James Dean) is a troubled youth, moved from town to town by his parents, the dictatorial mother Carol (Ann Doran) and her gutless husband Frank (Jim Backus). On the first night of their move Jim gets drunk and finds himself taken to the police station, where he meets Ray Fremick (Edward Platt), a mentorial figure, which quickly influences Jim's mindset.

Specifically, the term ‘weightless’ is used as an analogy to compare her son to the likes of Armstrong. This image…
