Read the conversation below about two friends, Frazer and June . Understand the conversation and answer the questions.

Frazer: Hi June.

June: Oh, hey there Frazer.

Frazer: Aww, what's with  a sad face there June?

June: Oh, nothing much. Just that I always feel anxious every time the exam comes up, especially the final exam like the SAT is around the corner and I want to graduate high school on time before turning 18 while also getting the university that I wanted.

Frazer: Oh,  I see. You're stressed that you have way too many things you have to achieve for the exam.

June: Yes Frazer, I'm a bit bothered and anxious that what if I could not get straight A's in the upcoming exam. Both my parents already put high hope for me to pass with flying colors. I just don't know what to do. If I study less, I won' get to score but if I study too much, I get stressed way too much. I'm actually clueless right now.

Frazer: I see. Look June, I know you're the hope of your family, but you could slow down a bit on the studying. Remember the phrase "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"?

June: Yeah, I know that famous phrase.

Frazer: My point is that your success will surely determine your future, but does it truly determine your true dreams?

June: I'm not so sure about it myself because getting those good grades have always been goals set for me by parents, but is it really what I wanted? I guess that  eases off my anxiety a little bit and I will try going out a lot more and spending time with friends to let off the steam from studying too much. Thank you Frazer for opening my mind. It already made me feel a bit better now.

Frazer: No problem June. I hope that you get to achieve the things you have always targeted and always be happy with your life.

The digital landscape has put increased pressure on teenagers today, and we feel it. There are so many social media channels: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, you name it. I made a conscious decision to avoid Snapchat and Instagram because of the social pressure I saw them putting on my 14-year-old little sister. If my mum turned off the WiFi at 11pm, my sister would beg me to turn my phone into a hotspot1. She always needed to load her Snapchat stories one more time, or to reply to a message that had come in two minutes ago because she didn’t want her friend to feel ignored. If I refused, saying she could respond in the morning, I’d get the “You’re ruining my social life” speech. Even as a teenager as well, I sometimes find this craze a little baffling.

A new study has found that teenagers who engage with social media during the night could be damaging their sleep and increasing their risk of anxiety and depression. Teenagers spoke about the pressure they felt to make themselves available 24/7 and the resulting anxiety if they did not respond immediately to texts or posts. Teens are so emotionally invested in social media that a fifth of secondary school pupils will wake up at night and log on just to make sure they don’t miss out. Perhaps the worst thing about this is that teenagers need more sleep than adults do, so night-time social media use could be detrimental to their health. A lack of sleep can make teenagers tired, irritable, and depressed.

During the summer holidays, I lost my phone. And for the week that I was phoneless, it felt like a disaster. I love my phone. It gives me quick access to information and allows me to be constantly looped in with my friends, to know exactly what is going on in their lives. So when I didn’t have my phone for a week, I felt a slight sense of FOMO, or if you’re not up to speed with the lingo, fear of missing out. By the end of the week, I’d got used to not having a phone and I’d quite enjoyed the break from social media. But there was still a lingering sense of sadness at the back of my mind that there would be conversations I had missed, messages that had been sent, funny videos shared and night-time chats that I would probably never get to see.
