What’s happening with the younger generation today? Why do teenagers think they look cool if they follow trends, even if they’re doing things that don’t make sense or could be harmful? Even younger kids seem to believe that following trends no matter how silly makes them look good.
The Department of Education is working to address these issues and find ways to guide students. But how can we effectively solve these problems when we have only a limited number of hours with them, while most of their time is spent on the internet? Many social media influencers, who often act irresponsibly, are looked up to by kids and teens.
Even in developing countries like the Philippines, students want to follow the latest trends, much like kids in Western countries.
Today, I would like to share some pictures from our recent sports and cultural meet an extracurricular event that encourages students to participate and engage in real life activities.
At our school, we have sports meets and cultural activities that allow students to experience traditional forms of extracurricular activities and recreation. These events give us the chance to enjoy ourselves and create good memories through sports and capacity-building activities.
Not all trends on the internet are positive. Many trends are simply meant to create hype and drive engagement, often appealing to our emotions to keep us engaged. This attention seeking approach works because, in today’s world, attention has become a valuable currency.
