expensive. Students’ social life is, indeed, something to be concerned about in home schooling
education. Most school districts make sincere attempts to keep their home schooled students
active participants in the social, athletic, and extracurricular life of the school.

24. Many young people have difficulty deciding where they will live when the time comes to leave
home and make their own way in the world. Among the more common alternatives are sharing
a house or flat with other young people, and finding full board and lodgings in someone else's
home.
Renting a house with other young people offers the advantage of a high degree of
freedom and independence. On the down side, renting involves a variety of responsibilities that
may be more than you wish to take on. This would mean you would be responsible for making
large rental payments if one or more of the people you are sharing with should move out of the
house or flat. It might also mean that you are held financially responsible if they damage the
dwelling.
Finding board and lodgings, on the other hand, has significant advantages. Generally
you have no responsibility for the cleaning or maintenance of the dwelling or its gardens, other
than to take reasonable care of your room. However, living in board and lodging circumstances
has its drawbacks too. You have less freedom and flexibility in your lifestyle.
In the end, the decision each person makes will depend on their own personal valuing of
independence and of convenience, as well as their feeling of readiness for taking on the
considerable financial and other responsibilities of house or flat rental.

In contrast, there are negative effects of social media on the lives of teenagers. First,
Cyber bullying is one of the more negative influences that present it in social media especially
for teenagers. It gives a platform for cyber bullies to taunt and bully others. It is easier to bully
others through social media than to do it physically. Cyber bullying moves from bad to worse in
a matter of days causing long lasting pain due to the huge level of networking offered by social
media.
Next, teens with disabilities can become a target of prejudice from their fellow teens. This can
make them feel isolated and very lonely. The situation is made worse by the fact that many
teenagers will often carry on with their online attitudes even when they are interacting face to
face.
Then, social media is very engaging and leads to teenagers spending a lot of time on
them. They may neglect their school work, extra-curricular activities and even their friends and
family so that they can play a game or chat about various things not related to schoolwork. This
clearly reduces their productivity levels. Such kids even start failing in school work and may
end up being addicted to the social media platforms.
Due to the increase in the time spent interacting in the virtual world of social media; it
affects the face to face communication and social skills of teenagers. You can find very
outspoken kids on social media being quite reserved when it comes to face to face interactions.
Knowing where to hold our hands and what kinds of facial expressions to hold is something that
comes with face-to-face interactions.
