Generation Z by Nicole VillarrealGeneration Z is what they call those who use technology and social media from a young age. Technology has changed the high school romance game. Snapchat, Instagram and all other media outlets have consumed today's teenagers. When it comes to romance and students, how exactly do they interact with each other? Health and Medical Sciences junior Rosa Ramos says, “Technology has been very involved because before we didn't have anything, so you could obviously see them in person, but now you can face them and call and text.” Now we have constant communication. texting them or even talking face to face through a screen has changed the way we communicate. Online dating has taken a sizable portion of those who actually date someone. Pew Research Center estimates that about 8% of teens report meeting for the first time online. Say no to plagiarism.

When you have a significant other there is a possibility that they will share photos to please each other. Some studies estimate that approximately 50% of teenagers have engaged in sexting at some point. Xochitl Sawyer, a junior in Medical and Health Sciences, says, “I feel like sending the kind of pictures that will turn into what the relationship is and they always ask me for them.” It has become normal with the atmosphere that teenagers are in now. Teens today are exposed to more sexualized content than any other generation, from music videos to advertising. Social media has opened up the possibility of meeting someone to an endless pool of potential interests. Not only are they able to interact with students at their school but with anyone around the world, increasing the potential danger of a predator coming into contact with them. These predators often take several months to earn their trust and pretend to be an age they are not. There have been several cases where this has happened. BBC News reported Amanda Todd as one of the many victims. After the 15-year-old convinced herself to share a nude photo, the man stalked and bullied her for years because of that photo. Which led to her committing suicide, not being able to deal with the constant bullying. The digital world has revolutionized teenage romance. And there's no doubt that the digital age is here to stay.
