PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE.

The daily pressures teenagers in modern society feel are unbelievable. Is it such a surprise there is an increase in mental health problems with the media continuously presenting the ideal image of body perfection? Technology is supposed to improve our lives but does it really?....... Or does it just create more problems such as cyber bullying, advertising and promoting the perfect body, and giving children access to read and watch anything they like. With pressures dramatically rising, is it any wonder the minority of teenagers in this generation with self respect feel inadequate and isolated? Maybe those with mental health problems such as depression and anxiety are the ones who have an accurate perception of the world. Also, schizophrenics may gradually lose contact with reality as reality is too painful. People may develop OCD as a way of unconsciously blocking the real worries and anxieties out that cannot be controlled, and replacing them with smaller ones which they can control. Who knows? The demands of this modern world are definitely a contributing factor and are bound to help cause mental problems. The question is..... are the 'mad' ones really the mad ones?
