Seriously, why is my generation so messed up? They are so obsessed and entangled in social media and technology that they are missing so much of their lives; some aren't even aware of what's going on around them. It's utterly ridiculous; why does there always have to be some new trend to follow, or some new picture on Instagram to like? Why can't we communicate properly anymore? This world is becoming so messed up and I feel as though I'm the only one noticing this out of all the people I know. And, at the age of 16, I feel as like I'm an outcast because I have no social media for people to follow me on. But, that shouldn't be the case. There are so many other issues going on around us that are far greater than any 'celebrity scandal' or Twitter post. Everyone is conforming to society's expectations these days, and it's horrible to watch...
I just feel like I am the only one seeing this. Please, can someone tell me that I'm not alone in my views?
EDITED: of course, I do know that social media is used by most generations. It's just it seems to be used in a negative way mostly by my generation. However, this is just my view: feel free to counter it if you think I am wrong Also, I do know that there are people in my generation that do not use social media; it's just I haven't met any.
Twitter was already a thing when I was your age. Facebook had been known for about two years, YouTube about three. I'm glad I didn't engage in two of those
"communicate properly" they said that about letters and mailing too "entangled in social media and technology" they said the exact same thing about books and television
There are always trends they aren't some new thing they've existed since antiquity, why does that bother you

Imo using whatsapp is very different from fb and insta because on whatsapp you are having a conversation with someone/people whilst on fb and insta you post stuff for people to see about yourself without even nessassarily making them feel the need to reply - a bit attention seekerish IMO
