Social Websites and it's Effects on Society

Here at LaylaLynn, we care about your insides just as much as we care about your outside. We want to take an opportunity for social awareness in today's environment.

The world has changed and become a completely different place. No more are the days when strangers knock on our door and we greet them with an innocent smile. Let's face it, when it comes to socializing face to face, many of us are well...a little behind in our social skills.

All throughout history, mankind has used his words and expressions to enliven crowds, carry out business, and court the opposite sex. In today's day in age, we hardly see the "person on the other end of the line,' if we see them at all!

This has been a challenge for older generations as a kind hand shake or stream-line eye contact have been fizzling out. But the younger generations are feeling the brunt of this too. When it comes to physical social contact, there's more and more cases of anxiety, panic, and depression. More and more people everyday are being diagnosed and fed pills to keep them sane! Why? Well some scientists believe it is just pure loneliness.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard right...loneliness. So the next time you avoid a call from your mom, why don't you go see her to make up for it? Or next time your friend updates a Facebook status with the words, "I need a hug," why don't you go give her one? Let's get back together.
