I strongly agree with Jessie in the fact that kids today are living in a very different society than I grew up in.  Technology is so great it has cut off the normal communication of people through the spoken language.  Today kids text their friends (and parents) to communicate instead of talking face-to-face.  Many young people don't know how to actually communicate with one another face-to-face.  All this is leading to insecurity of being left out when they are seeing friends "having fun" on social media.  Bullying behaviors are instant now that everything is at their fingertips.
