iGeneration: teenagers affected by phones

One day last summer, around noon, I called Athena, a 13-year-old who lives in Houston, Texas. She answered her phone  — she has had an iPhone since she was 11  — sounding as if she’d just woken up. We chatted about her favorite songs and TV shows, and I asked her what she likes to do with her friends. “We go to the mall,” she said. “Do your parents drop you off?” I asked, recalling my own middleschool days, in the 1980s, when I’d enjoy a few parent-free hours shopping with my friends. “No  — I go with my family,” she replied. “We’ll go with my mom and brothers and walk a little behind them. I just have to tell my mom where we are going. I have to check in every hour or every 30 minutes.”

Those mall trips are infrequent  — about once a month. More often, Athena and her friends spend time together on their phones, unchaperoned. Unlike the teens of my generation, who might have spent an evening tying up the family landline with gossip, they talk on Snapchat, a smartphone app that allows users to send pictures and videos that quickly disappear. They make sure to keep up their Snapstreaks, which show how many days in a row they have Snapchatted with each other. She told me she had spent most of the summer hanging out alone in her room with her phone. That is just the way her generation is, she said. “We didn’t know any life other than with iPads or iPhones. I think we like our phones more than we like actual people.”

Some generational changes are positive, some are negative, and many are both. More comfortable in their bedrooms than in a car or at a party, today’s teens are physically safer than teens have ever been. They are markedly less likely to get into a car accident and, having less of a taste for alcohol than their predecessors, are less susceptible to drinking’s attendant ills.

Psychologically, however, they are more vulnerable than Millennials were: rates of teen depression and suicide have skyrocketed since 2011. It is not an exaggeration to describe iGen as being on the brink of the worst mental-health crisis in decades. Much of this deterioration can be traced to their phones.

However, in my conversations with teens, I saw hopeful signs that kids themselves are beginning to link some of their troubles to their ever-present phone. Athena told me that when she does spend time with her friends in person, they are often looking at their device instead of at her. “I’m trying to talk to them about something, and they don’t actually look at my face,” she said. “They’re looking at their phone, or they’re looking at their Apple Watch.” “What does that feel like, when you’re trying to talk to somebody face-to-face and they’re not looking at you?” I asked. “It kind of hurts,” she said. “It hurts. I know my parents’ generation didn’t do that. I could be talking about something super important to me, and they wouldn’t even be listening.”

Once, she told me, she was hanging out with a friend who was texting her boyfriend. “I was trying to talk to her about my family, and what was going on, and she was like, ‘Uh-huh, yeah, whatever.’ So I took her phone out of her hands and I threw it at the wall.”

Though it is aggressive behavior that I don’t support, on the other hand  — it is a step towards a life with limited phone use. So, if I were going to give advice for a happy adolescence, it would be straightforward: put down the phone, turn off the laptop, and do something  — anything  — that does not involve a screen.

Generation: teenagers affected by phones

One day last summer, around noon, I called Athena, a 13-year-old who lives in Houston, Texas.

She answered her phone she has had an iPhone since she was 11 sounding as if she’d just woken up.

We chatted about her favorite songs and TV shows, and I asked her what she likes to do with her friends.

“We go to the mall,” she said. “Do your parents drop you off?” I asked, recalling my own middleschool

days, in the 1980s, when I’d enjoy a few parent-free hours shopping with my friends. “No I go with my

family,” she replied. “We’ll go with my mom and brothers and walk a little behind them. I just have to

tell my mom where we are going. I have to check in every hour or every 30 minutes.”

Those mall trips are infrequent about once a month. More often, Athena and her friends spend

time together on their phones, unchaperoned. Unlike the teens of my generation, who might have spent an

evening tying up the family landline with gossip, they talk on Snapchat, a smartphone app that allows

users to send pictures and videos that quickly disappear. They make sure to keep up their Snapstreaks,

which show how many days in a row they have Snapchatted with each other. She told me she had spent

most of the summer hanging out alone in her room with her phone. That is just the way her generation is,

she said. “We didn’t know any life other than with iPads or iPhones. I think we like our phones more than

we like actual people.”

Some generational changes are positive, some are negative, and many are both. More comfortable

in their bedrooms than in a car or at a party, today’s teens are physically safer than teens have ever been.

They are markedly less likely to get into a car accident and, having less of a taste for alcohol than their

predecessors, are less susceptible to drinking’s attendant ills.

Psychologically, however, they are more vulnerable than Millennials were: rates of teen

depression and suicide have skyrocketed since 2011. It is not an exaggeration to describe iGen as being

on the brink of the worst mental-health crisis in decades. Much of this deterioration can be traced to their

phones. However, in my conversations with teens, I saw hopeful signs that kids themselves are beginning

to link some of their troubles to their ever-present phone. Athena told me that when she does spend time

with her friends in person, they are often looking at their device instead of at her. “I’m trying to talk to

them about something, and they don’t actually look at my face,” she said. “They’re looking at their

phone, or they’re looking at their Apple Watch.” “What does that feel like, when you’re trying to talk to

somebody face-toface and they’re not looking at you?” I asked. “It kind of hurts,” she said. “It hurts. I

know my parents’ generation didn’t do that. I could be talking about something super important to me,

and they wouldn’t even be listening.”

Once, she told me, she was hanging out with a friend who was texting her boyfriend. “I was trying

to talk to her about my family, and what was going on, and she was like, ‘Uhhuh, yeah, whatever.’ So I

took her phone out of her hands and I threw it at the wall.”

Though it is aggressive behavior that I don’t support, on the other hand it is a step towards a life

with limited phone use. So, if I were going to give advice for a happy adolescence, it would be

straightforward: put down the phone, turn off the laptop, and do something anything that does not

involve a screen.

4) There are good and bad sides in using smartphones.

1)What made Victorian England a powerful country?
The growth in industry and trade made Victorian England a powerful country. 

2)Why was Victorian time the time of great contrasts?

Because despite of the development of the British Empire the gulf between the rich and the poor  in Victorian England became wider.

3)Why do people often speak of Victorian hypocrisy? What makes a person hypocritical (a hypocrite)?

 Because people in Victorian time often pretended to have better moral principles than they actually had. A person becomes a hypocrite when he pretends to be very moral but does not behave as such. 

4)Which Victorian ideas may seem shocking strange or hard to us? Which ideas do you find sensible if any?

Such ideas as permanent marriage and strict moral standards may seem hard to us. I don’t consider any of these ideas to be sensible.

5)What were some of the traditions in a middle-class Victorian family? how can you characterize them?

The youngest members of the family were not supposed to talk unless spoken to by a grown-up. At the end of the day Papa took family prayers when everyone, including the servants, knelt down in the dining room or study. On Sunday afternoons the family often went for a walk, but no games were allowed.  The traditions in a middle-class Victorian family were strict, inflexible and thus quite unbearable.

6)Would you be satisfied with typical Victorian amusement? If you say no explain why not.

For sure I would not be satisfied with typical Victorian amusement as far as it seems simply boring and senseless to me. 

7)Do you think Victorians were different from modern people? In what way? Does human nature change with time or is it just the circumstances that make us different?

I don’t think Victorians were different, they just behave differently. I believe that human nature doesn’t change with time and only circumstances make us different. 

8)The text describes the lifestyle of a middle-class family? Have you got any idea how poor families lived in those days?

Yes, it does. As far as I know poor families were the worst affected class in the Victorian times.  Lack of money resulted in a low food supply. For most of the poor families, the living conditions were so miserable that they required their children to work in order to bring home some extra money to survive.

9)Would you like to live in Victorian England? Why (not)?

 I definetely would not like to live in Victorian England. I hate hypocrisy and I prefer to enjoy life as much as possible.  The life was hard for people in Victorian England. Working hours were long, breaks were short, and there were no holidays. There was no public water supply, no electricity and no toilets. A whole street would share one outside toilet, and rubbish was thrown out into the streets. Many people died of such diseases as typhoid and cholera.

you?” I asked. “It kind of hurts,” she said. “It hurts. I know my parents’ generation
didn’t do that. I could be talking about something super important to me, and they
wouldn’t even be listening.”
Once, she told me, she was hanging out with a friend who was texting her
boyfriend. “I was trying to talk to her about my family, and what was going on,
and she was like, ‘Uh-huh, yeah, whatever.’ So I took her phone out of her hands
and I threw it at the wall.”
Though it is aggressive behavior that I don’t support, on the other hand – it
is a step towards a life with limited phone use. So, if I were going to give advice
for a happy adolescence, it would be straightforward: put down the phone, turn off
the laptop, and do something – anything – that does not involve a screen.
