One thing that drastically changed how I've viewed things is after getting social media. This was a big event to me because my parents are extremely strict about social media, so getting it was a surprise. Major events, like fighting and arguments broke out a whole lot which led to stress inducing situations that required the mental energy and communication skills to solve them. Social media has changed my perspective on a lot of things due to how people act. I have gained a lot of empathy and communication skills that could change the future in how I handle high-stress situations.
