Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it has both
advantages and disadvantages. There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace
and quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for
young children.

people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening.
Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is hard to find jobs.
In short, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the whole, it is often

Peer pressure for teenagers is nothing new. However, social media worsens this pressure because teens are
exposed to and getting feedback from many more people than they would encounter in daily life.
Teens can be especially influenced by “likes” on social media sites like Instagram or Facebook. In a small
2016 of teenage participants, researchers created a social media feed similar to Instagram and measured the teens’ brain
responses. Here’s what they found:
- Teens were more likely to “like” photos that already had a large number of likes.

- Teens’ brain activity- specifically areas associated with reward processing and attention- was greaterwhen
viewing photos with more “likes”.
