Comments by Alysa Gribben Most recent public comments by Alysa Gribben https://nowcomment.com/users/64305 I see the appeal of banning in school. However, it is hard to go from using your phone all the time, to not at all in school. Banning including lunch time would be hard, but would allow students to socialize and grow relationships. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164086?scroll_to=1632588 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164086?scroll_to=1632588 Mon, 07 Aug 2023 23:05:00 -0400 Phones have become such a big part of life. If you do not use your phone then you do not fit in. However, if you do use your phone you become addicted. You lack social skills with people and have a hard time fitting in. https://nowcomment.com/documents/169447?scroll_to=1632578 https://nowcomment.com/documents/169447?scroll_to=1632578 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:19:47 -0500 This is because seeing social media allows you to feel alone. You only see the good things going on in people's lives and therefore you feel your life is worse in comparison. You feel left out when people post together and you are not there. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168180?scroll_to=1632572 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168180?scroll_to=1632572 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:19:47 -0500 Cell phones do allow us to connect with the world and sometimes it is necessary to use. However, it distracts us from the main goal in school which is to learn. School is also important for socializing, but phones prevent that from happening. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168156?scroll_to=1632568 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168156?scroll_to=1632568 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:19:47 -0500 It is unfortunate that when people go out and hangout together that it is just a time for them to be together, but in separate worlds at their phone takes over. They do not socialize with one another. People need to use phones left to socialize better. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164845?scroll_to=1632564 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164845?scroll_to=1632564 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:19:47 -0500 Like buttons make us feel better about ourselves. It makes us feel that we fit in more and connect with our peers. Therefore, the less you receive, you feel worse about yourself and leads to depression and feeling unwanted. https://nowcomment.com/documents/172222?scroll_to=1632555 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172222?scroll_to=1632555 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:19:47 -0500 This is very true. If we ever feel uncomfortable in a situation, we turn to our phones. However, this creates a lack of socialization. When we are with people, everyone just is on their phones trying to be concerned with what others are doing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631876 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631876 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:19:47 -0500 When we are alone, we think that social media brings us into the situation and allows us to feel included. Getting tagged in posts or likes on posts allows us to feel important and cared for. The more texts you receive, it allows us to feel more popular. https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631862 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631862 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:19:47 -0500 Wealth has increased, but not equally.
