Hannah's writing skills grew, as well as her personality. She became more responsible and she seems care more about her school work. This work shows that she is able to use her technology skills in other subjects. Good job, Hannah!

Social media has grown to become a part of our everyday lives. However with technology being implemented into our daily routines, it affects the way we think of ourselves, and the way we treat others. According to research done by Anxiety UK, 53% of the participants said that social media changed their behavior, and 51% admitted that it affected them negatively. Those who said that social media changed their lives for the worse claim that media makes them feel less confident, as they compare their achievements with their friends. Social media doesn't only affect people mentally, but also physically. Eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia have been linked to negative use in social media. According to Rader Program's infographic, 50% of commercials targeted towards women have involved physical attractiveness. Through photo editing systems such as Photoshop, media is able to manipulate any image to make its subject more appealing, and when it comes to models, appealing meant tall, tanned, and rail thin. Unfortunately, teen girls are seeing advertisements from magazines, billboards, as well as the Internet, as a source of information. The solution? Figure out a way to change the way we see media, as media has been greatly instilled into our lives.
