Teen trends online such as video games or social media
can cause the actions of teens to be reckless and their decisions making to be
what everyone else does. Teens will also want to attract themselves to others.
In the online world, it is a great place to express the
vision of them without having to do it in person. Teens can follow up on what
they see all over the Internet and can join the trend anytime they want. On
social networking such as vine, YouTube, or instagram, you can make new friends
and even set a new idea of how someone thinks of you. About 93% of teens
according to PewResearchCenter go online everyday. These people are open to the
new mindset of the generation and will be likely to dress, and try new things
what everyone else are doing. When there are good things happening there are
cons to these situations. It may risk your life, your attitude, and even the
relationships you have with people.
Online shopping has brought 35.6 million people to buying
their clothes and merchandises online. About 50% of people said that social
media influenced them to buy online. A lot of these teens aren’t loyal to the
brands that they buy and buy a different variety of clothing. Many of them
wants to dress like the people that are known and dress like what everyone that
you see in the malls or when you go out with friends. Top sites like amazon or
Nike targets these teens and promote it so everyone would crave for it. Online shopping isn’t right for people because
anyone can buy anything to have the “in-thing”. They shouldn’t change what they
wear because of looking different then anyone else. Online shopping also has
its good side because many people can buy things for cheap when buying the same
item in their community is twice as much. It helps family have a higher
standard of living.
A huge trend that is growing in the world is video games.
About 67% of U.S house holds play video games. When people play it allows them
to express and release their feelings in the virtual world. Teens playing
violent games such as Call of duty increase their aggressive thoughts and their
feeling of empathy towards other. Video games shouldn’t be played a lot which
makes the teen get addicted to it and wont be useful of what they could be
doing.
Teen Trends online effects what the teens do. When one
trend dies, a new one will always pop up. When people try to stay original,
they aren’t because that person is copying someone that they think is cool.
They dress and do the things that other teens whose popular are doing.
