My World

Our new group of Dickens Social reporters started and their first challenge was to post up photos of things that typified their world.....

Here are the images and words which Abigail produced.....

"Nearly all teenagers are connected to at least one social networking website, be it Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr. We all like to keep in touch with our friends, and the fact that you can access these sites on mobile phones makes them even more popular and well used. It is quite unlikely that you will find a teenager without Facebook, or even Internet access."

"Music is a huge part in our lives nowadays, so much that the genres we listen to are associated with our status groups: Arty people are likely to listen to indie rock or metal, popular people are likely to be associated with pop music e.t.c. A lot of people are now interested in playing musical instruments, such as the guitar, as well."

"School also plays a big part in our teenage lives. With homework every day and over 6 hours in school, we constantly have thoughts in the backs of our minds. With exams to be thought about, and detentions to avoid, we're always thinking about it. "

 Thanks so much Abigail, for your insight into your world!
