gettin off on likes

It's been proven that the sound of your phone going off makes you happy.

I can relate to this it's quite sad, but I think people's happiness is fuelled by irrelevant things nowadays, such as Facebook likes, how many followers you have, how many people favourited your tweet about your new hair. 

Facebook likes or likes on any social networking platform are becoming a currency.

The number of people clicked like on your photo of you with a fuck load of make up on that took you 19 attempts to get the right angle doesn't make you any better of a person. 

People get upset that they didn't get enough likes and I've even heard of friends falling out because they didn't like a photo they posted.

WHAT?!

Surely friendship isn't based on whether they click a like button. 
It doesn't mean they give a shit.  

If Social media popularity is really important to you you need to reevaluate yourself and your life.
If that's what's important to you then I feel very sorry for you.

You should be focusing on how people perceive you in real life instead of online with all the filters that you can add to make your life look cooler than it actually is. 

People do things that they wouldn't do in real life online...e.g Facebook famous kids eating soap or doing the condom challenge . 

I watched one video of a kid doing the condom challenge and he said you can die from it.

Why would you do something that could potentially kill you just for popularity.

Are you dumb?

Yeah ok share fun stuff on Facebook but don't go begging for likes doing ridiculous things for attention. 

I think it's easy to get caught up in the stressful popularity contest fuelled world of Facebook, Instagram and twitter, were all guilty of it. 

But I feel quite sorry for 12-16 year olds having to grow up with all this pressure. Fuck that go back to making tree houses instead of statuses.

why growing up sucks.

so I'm no longer a teenager, this means lots of things.

I can no longer threaten my mum that I'm going to call childline anymore.
shit starts getting real, I have to start being mature and responsible. that means thinking about my future. eurgh.


I'm currently considering dropping out of uni.

reasons why I'm considering dropping out of uni:

- my course is absolute cats piss
- my tutor is a chief bell end of the bell end crew 2k13.
- being poor is shit.
- Birmingham is a smelly place

I'm in two mind sets.

chilling out and having fun but wasting a year of my life and living away from home VS. working towards a career and having money to have fun with but moving home.

moving home with anus woman is going to be tough but not as tough as walking past shops and wanting delicious clothes.

being young is actually really tough, so much pressure is on your shoulders to perform well and get qualifications but I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT I WANT TO DO.

how the fuck am I gonna know what to do with my life at the age of 20.

shit this is stressful.

but I'm gonna just do whatever makes me happy. I recon I could work in McDonald's and be happy. just as long as I have the rest of my shit together and I'm not shooting up heroin on my lunch breaks and not sleeping in the staff toilets cus I haven't got a house.

bit extreme. but shit can get crazy.

I should really make the most of being able to lay in bed in my pants all day and sleeping till 4 in the afternoon whilst I can.

tough decisions.

help.
