like a tree that contains many branches which we people are trying our best to climb up and
reach this destructively beautiful tree. Yes, we may call media as common nowadays, but this
kind of common is very useful yet destructing especially that sometimes we are using it in a
wrong way. When we talk about new generation, we talked about the youth of today who are
very much inclined to use social media.

Youth use social media frequently to connect and create friendship with others. But on the
other side, unhealthy lifestyle is very prevalent to the youth nowadays due to the fact that
gadgets now got the minds of them avoiding physical exercises which is supposed to keep them
healthy and fit and invested more on sedentary lifestyle which is scientifically proven to
decrease half of their life expectancy in their full existence. And unfortunately, teens use too
much time on scrolling on social media that they are now engage into cyberbullying, trolls, and
even toxic comparisons. They use it in an inappropriate way that gaining "likes" on social media
is the new standard of being famous and beautiful that influences others to do risky challenges
and affects their behavior. Engaging in cyberbullying, causing the victims on getting depressed
that some ended their life because cyberbullying is associated with anxiety, depression, and risk
of suicidal thoughts. In order to have a happy and healthy lifestyle, balance is the key. Always
balance and do what is right, think what is right, and do not do something that can cause you
trouble at the end. Have time with your family and friends, learn to appreciate God's Gift like
travel and spoil yourself to be free and live healthy.

However, there are some negative effects of print media. One of this is body shaming. One thing
that print media had been accused for the past decades is stereotyping of perfect body image.
Most of the pictures posted in magazines, catalogs, newspaper and even in billboard, covers a
perfect sexy body and unreasonable waistline. As a result, more teenagers are eager to achive
this sexy image. The worst is, they strive to be like this and like that, resulting in severe health
complications, illnesses and it can also lead to early death. Another one is unevitable spreading
of fake news in the news paper can also attribute to the negative effects of print media. The
readers might misinterpret the spreading misinformation news. Many authors used this as their
tactics to gain attentions to their readers.But sadly, it can create damage to someone's
reputation.
