Today, people all over the world especially teens my age spend way more time online than actually hanging out in person. Most of the time we’re texting, snapping, or scrolling instead of talking in person. It’s easier to stay connected with our phones, especially when everyone is busy, but it also feels different than real life conversations. Sometimes things get misunderstood through our phones. While being online helps us talk to more people, I think it’s also changing how close our friendships feel and how we interact with each other.
