Social Media Harms Teen Mental Health

In today’s world, social media is a big part of many teenagers’ daily lives. While it has some benefits, such as staying connected with friends, meeting new people, and learning about interesting topics, it also brings serious problems. I strongly believe that social media harms teen mental health, and we must pay more attention to this issue before it becomes even worse.

First, social media often makes teenagers compare themselves to others in an unhealthy way. When teens see pictures of people who seem perfect, they feel that they are not good enough. These feelings can lower self-esteem and lead to sadness, anxiety, or even depression. The problem is that many of these online posts are edited, filtered, or fake, but teens still feel pressure to look or live the same way. They may think that their own life is boring or not successful, which is simply not true.

Second, too much time on social media affects sleep and study habits. Many teenagers use their phones late at night, checking messages or watching videos, which reduces sleep time and quality. Without enough sleep, teens cannot focus well in class, and their grades may suffer. This can increase stress and worry about the future, making them feel overwhelmed.

Finally, online bullying, or cyberbullying, is another serious danger. Unlike face-to-face bullying, it can happen at any time and be shared with many people. Victims of cyberbullying often feel alone, scared, and helpless, and in some cases, it leads to serious mental health problems.

In conclusion, although social media has some good uses, its harm to teen mental health is much greater. Teenagers need support from parents, teachers, and society to use it wisely. Schools should teach students how to use social media in healthy ways, and parents should guide their children to take breaks and spend time offline. By doing this, we can help protect young people’s mental health in this digital age.

4. My Experience as an Intern at a Sports Club

Last summer, I had the opportunity to work as an intern at a local sports club. It was my first time working in a professional sports environment, and I was both nervous and excited. The internship went through a few phases, starting from orientation until finally jumping in to help during practices and games.

On my first day, I met the head coach, who welcomed me and explained my tasks. I had to set up cones for drills, bring water for the players, and check the training schedules. The first few days were challenging because I was not used to the morning routine. Every morning I had to wake up early, arrive on time, and follow instructions carefully. I worried about making mistakes, but the coaches were kind and guided me.

In the second month of my internship, I was trained to handle emergency situations. I got the chance to put that knowledge into practice when something unexpected happened. During football practice, a player fell and hurt his ankle. Everyone stopped, and I quickly ran to get the first aid kit. I helped the coach assess the injury and ensured the player stayed calm while we got him seated safely. Luckily, it wasn’t serious, but the experience reinforced an important lesson: staying alert and prepared during emergencies can make a big difference.

At the end of my internship, the coaches held an evaluation and reflection session where they shared the results of their feedback. They highlighted my strengths in teamwork, responsibility, and communication, and even gave me a club T-shirt as a gift. I felt proud because I had improved in these areas. It was a great experience, and

I hope to work in a sports club again in the future.

6. Exploring Bali's Natural Wonders

Bali, a beautiful island in Indonesia, is known for its stunning landscapes and rich culture. While many come for the beaches and temples, the island also offers natural attractions that amaze nature lovers from around the world. From national parks and waterfalls to terraced rice fields, Bali is full of natural beauty.

In the west lies West Bali National Park, a peaceful area filled with green forests, calm mangrove swamps, and colorful coral reefs along the sea. The air is fresh, and the scenery feels untouched. One of the park’s most special sights is the Bali Starling—a rare white bird with bright blue around its eyes. Its soft song adds magic to the quiet forest. Visitors can walk along clear paths and enjoy the rich variety of plants and animals in this protected area.

Heading north, travelers find the scenic Munduk Waterfall, surrounded by green hills and forests. Water flows gently over rocky cliffs into a cool clear pool. Mist rises into the air, mixing with the calming sound of falling water. The walk to the waterfall passes through narrow paths lined with coffee and clove trees. Their fresh scent fills the air, offering a pleasant and peaceful experience. Munduk is the perfect place to relax and enjoy Bali’s natural charm.

Near the cultural center Ubud, the famous Tegalalang rice terraces stretch across the hills in green steps. These terraces are shaped by generations of farmers who work the land by hand. In the morning, mist rises above the fields, and sunlight reflects off the water in the paddies. Farmers in wide-brimmed hats plant rice carefully, their feet sinking into the soft earth. Water flows gently through small canals, keeping the fields healthy and green. The quiet surroundings and slow rhythm of farm life create a peaceful and inspiring scene.

These natural wonders highlight Bali's dedication in preserving its environmental and cultural treasures. By exploring these sites, tourists not only experience the island's scenic beauty but also support ongoing conservation efforts, helping to ensure that Bali's wonders last for future generations.

What  is  the  main  purpose  of  visiting  these  places:  to  support conservation or to relax?

Jawaban: D. 

Pembahasan: 

• Munduk Waterfall → Relaxation: tempat untuk bersantai dan menikmati suasana damai.

• West Bali National Park → Conservation: tujuan utamanya mendukung pelestarian alam dan satwa.

• Tegalalang Rice Terraces → Relaxation: pemandangan tenang untuk relaksasi dan inspirasi.
