My relationship with media is both positive and negative. It can be a fun experience to see and learn new things, but it can also be a negative experience. It can be exposure to violent or negative things such as bullying. Luckily, I am fortunate enough to have not experienced any sort of bullying towards me. But, I have unfortunately seen others get harassed, threatened, and others believing that making fun of another is humorous. I have seen plenty examples of threats being made to other people and I have seen threats that had to be taken seriously for the sake of a lot of people's lives. So far in my experience with media, it has been pretty positive and I have no issues with harassment or a any sort of bullying. This is because I try my best to surround myself with a positive environment and choose who I allow into my personal life in real life and my social media. I also believe that he media can be very interesting and give anyone an opportunity to see new things. And though I am not personally negatively effected by anything, I do see things that are a bit unsettling. Like how young adults are influenced easily by others and how they are focused on their appearances rather than improving who they are as a person. And how some are focused on how others might think of them and what their opinions are. Again, I am fortunate enough to be comfortable with myself to not care what their perceptions of me is and who I am as a individual. Like I find it interesting when I see someone, who is very beautiful in their own way, compare themselves to an influencer or even another person. Because I personally find individuality beautiful in its own way. I believe that media is a great platform to express and expose new ideas and things that need further education about, but I do also think it creates a negative environment for some. It allows those who are insecure about themselves to further that obsession of being accepted by others because only a certain image is "socially acceptable". But, in the end people's perception of media can vary depending on their relationship with it and the experiences they have had with it.
