We chose teen.ly to have one big app with nearest friends and contacts. If we could allow an app for just teens we wouldn't have to deal with all the other ages on facebook and instagram and the other apps we all u the most. Social media isn’t at all bad thing for teens to use, and it even allows you to communicate with other people and stay in contact and see what's special events are going on, but it would be alot easier to have one big app that lets u chat and talk and share exciting photos with close friends.
Something else to think about is the change in methods of communication. After phones came out, people tended to stay inside their homes, hiding behind a screen. There were less coffee dates, less group gatherings, and not as many words spoken in person. Instead, we resorted to texting conversations, chat rooms/group texts, and a lot of fighting. Since people are not in contact with another, they tend to lash out more. People feel empowered when they are online. Their confidence in making a post or sending a message increases because they do not have to see the person's reactions. All they have to do is type a few words and hit send. This method of communication has essentially led to cyberbullying. Nasty comments are exchanged between internet-goers daily because they are not able to see the damage that they have done. There are no emotions exchanged, only words.
