Selfie nowadays I can say has become a tool to abuse by posting immoral pictures just to get public attention. Since selfie has begun many got addicted to it and even the habit become a selfie syndrome.

This is what the social media contribute to our society.

Let us start teaching the young ones now about the bad effects of social medias.

 

Awareness about the good and bad when taking selfie is necessary for the young generation who are very aggressive sometimes with their actions.

 

He probably wanted a last picture of his Grandpa. But what I find a little disrespectful is that he shared it online. These things or moments are very precious rather personal and are not really be meant to be shared with everyone online.

 

There's nothing wrong with the intention of taking a picture with someone on his last day on earth but the picture shown and posted on social media described as insulting for me where the young teenager stuck his tongue out on the picture. Maybe if he looked grieving on a picture he got sympathy from public.
