BREAKING NEWS: Identity Crisis Outbreak
THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END AND THE FUTURE HAS NOT BEEN EMPOWERED!
Just kidding lol...
BUT there is a crisis going on that is going to affect our future youth. This crisis outbreak started within society through television, commercials, newspaper ads, print ads, celebrities, and now through social media more than ever! The creators or "scientists" we may call them, mainly males, are not too far from genius yet unconscious of their decisions that created flaws and have affected thousands of people especially women. This outbreak is so major and serious, we are beginning to be called an epidemic!
The symptoms include but are not limited to:
Confusion
Self-pity
Comparing Self to Others
False advertising
Fakeness/Pretending
Low self-esteem
Low self-confidence
Attention-Seeking Behavior
Seeking Self-Justification
Selfie/Hashtag Overload
and more!
Please see your doctor for a referral to a therapist or pastor for prayer. Remember this is something serious and is affecting our future generation. More and more people continue to be severely exposed and effected by this outbreak yet some have survived and now begin to speak up.
Stay tuned for a story of a young woman who has witnessed first-hand her accounts of this outbreak and how she survived.
Okay, okay. I'm going to stop being extra now... You must admit, it was funny.
In today's society, our generation is obsessed with getting "likes" and "retweets", dressing in the latest clothes, publicizing with the hottest, popular people, so on and so on. Everything must be a "selfie" or "celfie" (I don't know the difference, by the way). Additionally the captions on these selfies and multiple pics taken by people of this generation, generally females, are unoriginal taglines made by famous, artificial, most likely a reality television show star that have nothing better to do but to make more money. It is a bunch of hype!
When I get on social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, I see the same pictures or profile avatars. At one point, I thought everyone looked the same because they all had the same weave, the same outfits, the same make-up, and the same filter. Even I fed into the hype by posting pictures every time I dressed nice or was somewhere where the "popular" ones hung out or did. On the outside, it looked like I was everyone else but on the inside, I knew it was not who I really am and I was not happy. So why did I, and possibly others, participate or do things like this? To fit into society!
Think about it. From the commercials and reality television shows we watch on tv and see how much attention and feedback they get, receiving "likes" show us that people are paying attention (partly because some skin is showing and our standards look low) and that perhaps they (people, the scientists, males) would really "like" us. Reality is, they do not like us for who we REALLY are but for the person they THINK we are based on our pictures and posts.
