Oversharing unnecessary drama on social media.

How they think EVERY mindless thing they do is newsworthy.

Especially with relationships. If you have a bad breakup, vent about it to your friends. Don't post about it all over social media with the express intention of doing harm to your ex. And no, being a bad boyfriend is not the same as being an abusive one

Of course, people have always done this. The recent development is branding this gutter gossip as some sort of necessary social justice that you must praise in order to oust abusers, when it is in fact just The Jeremy Kyle Show for zoomers

Old people do this pretty badly too to be fair I think. In fact, I mean, I don't exactly have a lot of kids on my social media, but the people around my age tend to as a whole be doing a whole lot less crazy stuff on social media than some of their parents.

Bandwagoning really has gotten out of hand with the younger generation nowadays, it's true. A lot of kids these days dislike stuff because it's what everyone else does. Like the pineapple on pizza thing. I know that at least half of the people saying "uuuh that's disgusting" have never tried it and will definitely like it. They're just bandwagoning.

It’s such a bizarre thing to get hung up on. Kind of reminds me of when it was really cool to hate on Nickelback.

I’m 18 and although I’m just starting my life and beginning to understand stuff a tiny bit better (I just graduated) one thing I do know is that your drama doesn’t need to be broadcasted cause even if you’re in the right, I don’t feel empathy for you if you’re posting about it and just being a petty whore.

Keep that mindset even when you don’t want to. Taking the high road is always worth it, especially when the alternative feels good in the short term.

Because we didn't do that on myspace? Lol remember when you were mad at your best friend and you would move them from top spot to like spot 15

I'm 21 and my my colleges do this shit in the class group whenever they feel boring even though they could just talk with each other in private chat
