Why do Teenagers make so 

many snapchat post?

Today’s teenagers go through many things, and by many things I mean heartbreaks,
family issues, and many personal issues. So I feel as if many teens vent to get their feelings out
and to get whatever they have to say out and they might do this by writing. They might do this
by texting someone who is close to them and telling them what’s going on or just simply posting
something on snapchat or facebook. I know many might find this annoying, because here
comes sara on snapchat talking about how her boyfriend cheated on her for the 150th time and
we could honestly care less. However, believe it or not, Many authors of famous books have did
the same thing , They go through things and put their feelings out. The only difference might be
with them is that instead of writing ideas on paper we just write them online instead, we’ll text
our friends and tell them about it too. Everything is not meant to say out loud, especially not
feelings considering that’s a very sensitive topic, we’ll just rather write.

Teenagers, if we are writing something that has our undivided attention, it will be us
writing about how we feel, our feelings. I feel this way because as we grew up most of us were
taught that its best to write out feelings down on paper or to in other words “ vent.” We might do
this also by texting our friends or maybe just joting down things in your phone notes. I feel this
way because I’ve done this before in the past, I’ve written things down when I wasn’t feeling my
best because its better than just simply going off verbally. Us as teenagers go through lots of
things so I think the most of us write our feelings down or type our feelings. Whether were
texting somebody or whether were sharing it with 500 other snapchat friends or maybe we’ll just
simply share it with ourselves and only for our eyes to see. Writing is what’s best for a person
that just want to let their feelings out.
Not saying that making 10 snapchat post an hour is whats best for you because its not.
This causes people to be in your business and believe it or not, it starts uneccessary drama.
Instead of talking about why sara is talking about her boyfriend every 10 minutes or so, just ask
sara what’s wrong over snapchat and maybe her venting to you will make her feel better. There
are so many situations happening in today’s world with teens and sometimes they just need
some writing time or some time to let all their feelings out without being judged. So what makes
a text worth writing? Good question, what makes a text worth writing is simply just your feelings.
Writing down your feelings or maybe just typing your feelings would make a text worth writing
because you could definitely benefit from this and learn longterm.
