The Next Walking Dead

     Everyone nowadays have a smart phone. It's entertaining and super fun to use because you can listen to music and play games and communicate with your friends. You can download apps of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and Snapchat. These are the ways people these days communicate and some may say that it makes communication worse but with the youth these days sometimes it would make their way of communication better. Through cellphones and messaging apps, kids these days talk about what's going on in their life and plan fun events with long lost friends. For me, I prefer texting with certain people because I get triggered by a lot of things that affect my feelings and it makes the way I talk a little difficult to understand. Most adults do not see how the youth today are different than them so they think that phones are frying our brains. It all depends on how we use them so we shouldn't judge those who are always on their phone.
    At my school, we are allowed to use our phones most of the times. The times that we cannot use them are during seminars and of course tests, and that is completely reasonable. Those are times where we should be focusing on the content that we are suppose to be learning. Since our school is not really supervised as much, students could be on their phone texting, playing games or just staring at the screen..who knows? But most of us know our limits because we want to see success in our future and being distracted by our phones will not help us. Sometimes it would be beneficial during school because I would have to search something up other wise it is a distraction. I definitely know my limit which is important to me because I want what is good for me, if people want to just focus on social media then that is on them, not me.
    I really enjoy having a phone because I have freedom, for example,  I would be able to go out more during my free time since I could easily contact my parents letting them know where I am and what time I would be arriving home. There are certain purposes for phones that are useful and that is what I normally use my phone for. If someone tells me to get off my phone, then of course I would obey them and pay more attention because I know that my phone is not first priority and I do not want to become a zombie that lives in the dark only staring at a screen.

But They're Human Too?

    Celebrities do crazy actions, say wild things and behave in ways we believe they wouldn't do. Although they should be good role models to their fans we still have to think of the fact that they are still human. The only difference is that their actions get posted everywhere and is announced 24/7. If we really think about it, they do things that people do anyways, it's just that paparazzi finds out so fast and just immediately showcases it to the world. But think about it... if they're just as equal as us, why do they get all their business posted everywhere? I get that they are famous but people should be smart enough to know what's appropriate and what's not. Sometimes they bring this upon themselves which is their fault BUT we shouldn't degrade them because they have feelings too. Everyone reacts differently to celebrities only because they seem to have more power over us but they are just known more than us. If someone were to be caught drunk-driving, no one know about it and no one would post anything on social media, however, the minute someone like Justin Bieber gets caught drunk driving, everyone is tweeting, or posting status' on Facebook, that invades people's privacy, sure they make bad decisions but so do we.
      Now, what Kanye West did on twitter that was cruel and mean but we all know that that's his personality. Everyone knows that but still people judge. We can't stop all the judgemental people in the world but it's just sometimes unfair to know that people think that they can do whatever only because their victims are famous. People would think 'Oh, they're famous so they don't have to face any consequences but do we really see if they face consequences? No, not really.
     We can't all assume what famous people go through because some are definitely nice people, some set good examples for the audience. People wonder why fans let their actions slide but people are just being nice and giving them more chances since everyone deserves a second chance. It all goes back to, "They're only human, they learn from their mistakes like us" Which is why celebrities shouldn't get harsher penalties than us and they should get chances like us.
