3. Conclusion
Social media plays a heavy role in how teens view the realities of life. Music, movies, and other means of closely accessible social connections, tend to promote things that take away from what is known as “childhood.” Teens are faced with the pressure to grow up before their time and participate in adult activities, instead of exploring their own creative minds and understanding the responsibilities of being an adult. As a result, childhood expectations are becoming nearly extinct.
