I’m a student at John Black Public School in grade eight. You probably don’t know this about me, but I have a very strong opinion against Electronics. Why is that? For one, people won’t do homework because the distraction of the friend on their phones, that they often never meet. I have experience with this, but I deleted all social media, for personal reasons. Anyhow, I am really against Electronics because it can lower people’s self-confidence, and the person who is bullying/ harassing that person will gain self-confidence. I’m not saying it’s bad to have good self-esteem or good self-confidence, but I don’t like if the self-confidence comes from hurting others feelings. I myself have been through online bullying & harassment, but I think most of the people in my class have experienced it.

The second reason I have “hatred” towards Electronics is because from my experience from teenagers, older than me, not knowing how to use the right: then, than, there, they’re, their etc. In other words, they just don’t know how to use grammar. Now, I’m not saying that Electronics ruins your grammar, intelligence etc, because I’ve been playing on Electronic games for years now, and in my opinion I think I have amazing grammar and spelling, but that might just be because I have always loved English.

Now, those are my reasons why electronics can mess up someone’s life. A pro is probably it can keep you entertained and you can talk to others, but I think the cons outweigh the pros.
