2、sing social media, in ANY form, for seven days. This meant no messaging friends, no posting photos, no blogging-nothing. They had been promised money by family and friends for each day spent without using social media. They were nervous. But could they do it?With the detox finished, theyve switched
3、on their devices and theyre back online. I bet youre as eager as I am to find out just how many have been motivated enough to last the full seven days! And what, if anything, have been learnt from the experience?Anna 17I lasted two days. The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had expected.
4、I felt like I had lost an arm! Not eating for two days would have been easier! But on reflection, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone. Im now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies.Devon 16I lasted four days. On Monday, our classmate a
5、nd I spoke about what we did at the weekendit felt strange not to already know what he had done. We would have posted pictures and updated our profiles. Doing the detox meant we had to talk and explain what we were ding and thinking! It made me realise the value of real contact that I hand forgotten
6、.Cindy 18I managed the whole week! At first, I really felt I was missing out. Then,instead of messaging my friend, I went around to her house. Without our phones, we had a proper conversation for over two hours. Without being distracted by messages from other people, it felt so good! Then i decided
7、to visit a different friend every day. By the fifth day, I wonderedwas I really missing out by not constantly checking my phone to see what everyone else was up to?Gorge 16I did all seven days, too! To be honest, I didnt find the detox too difficult, but I did give my phone to my father to avoid giv
8、ing in! My brother thought I should make full use of the time without my phone; so he took me to check out our local sports centre. An hours sport each day left me tired out and sent me early to bed. The detox made me healthier!Max 17Im embarrassed to say that I threw in the towel on the first day!
9、I knew there was a party happening that evening, but without access to social media I couldnt remember where it was! In the end, I turn on my phone to check, but couldnt resist having a quick look at my social media accounts. Whats worse, I then spent so much time catching up on news, I almost misse

After reading the posts on this forum, it seems that something rather than money has also been raised through the detox. Awareness of just how much we rely on social media c
11、an help us step away from it and communicate with each other better.社交媒体排毒主持人今天是社交媒体排毒活动的最后一天，Brenton High学校为新运动器材募集资金。在排毒开始时，100多名学生被劝说停止使用任何形式的社交媒体7天。这意味着不能和朋友发短信，不能上传照片，不能写博客什么都没有。他们的家人和朋友向他们承诺，在不使用社交媒体的情况下，每过一天就会给钱。他们紧张。但他们能做到吗?排毒结束后，他们就会打开设备，重新开始工作。我敢打赌，你和我一样急切地想知道，到底有多少人有足够的动力来坚持整整七天!如果有的话，我们从
12、这次经历中学到了什么?安娜17我坚持了两天。排毒比我想象的更难以忍受。我感觉我失去了一只手臂!两天不吃东西会更容易!但仔细一想，我就知道自己花了多少时间在查看手机上。我现在正试着少花点时间上网，多花点时间培养我的爱好。德文郡16我坚持了四天。周一，我们的同学和我谈到了我们在周末做了什么不知道他做了什么感觉很奇怪。我们会上传照片，更新个人资料。做排毒意味着我们必须说话，解释我们在想什么!它让我意识到我忘记的真实接触的价值。辛迪18我应付了整整一周!一开始，我真的觉得我错过了什么。然后，我没有给我的朋友发信息，而是去了她的房子。在没有电话的情况下，我们进行了两个多小时的正常交谈。不用被别人的信息分
13、散注意力，感觉太好了!然后我决定每天拜访不同的朋友。到了第五天，我想知道，我真的错过了不经常看手机看别人在做什么吗?峡谷16我也干了整整七天!老实说，我并没有觉得排毒太难，但我确实把手机给了我父亲，以免屈服!我哥哥认为我应该充分利用没有手机的时间;所以他带我去看看我们当地的体育中心。每天一小时的运动让我筋疲力尽，早早上床睡觉。排毒让我更健康!马克斯17我不好意思说，我在第一天就放弃了!我知道那天晚上有个派对，但是因为没有社交媒体，我不记得派对在哪里了!最后，我打开手机查看，但还是忍不住快速浏览了一下我的社交媒体账户。更糟糕的是，我花了那么多时间追新闻，差点错过了聚会。主持人这次戒毒活动共筹集了
14、1,632.82美元，用于购置新的学校体育器材!干得好，每个参加的人!在阅读了这个论坛的帖子后，似乎除了钱之外，还有什么东西通过戒毒得到了提升。意识到我们有多依赖社交媒体可以帮助我们远离它，更好地与他人交流。Developing ideasValuable ValuesThe spending power of young people varies from person to person. Each, however, is faced with the same question: what to do with the money? Some handle this less wel
15、l than others. Recent headlines have seen more and more teens maxing out their parents credit cards on games and other online activities.In contrast to these big spenders, there are also teens that prove age is no barrier to making good use of money. With the help of her grandfather, eight-year-old
16、Khloe Thompson started making “Kare Bags” for the homeless people in her district. Inside the bags are necessities such as toothpaste, soap and socks,bought first with her pocket money and then through crowd funding. These items helped to make the lives of the poor and homeless people a little bit e
17、asier. On receiving a Kare bag, one woman said, “You make me feel like a human being.”However people intend to use their money, managing it seems to be unprecedentedly important to younger generations. A 2016 study said 17 states of the US require high school students to take course in personal fina
18、nce. For those who have no access to courses, help might be at hand thanks to Jerry Witkovsky and his method of using four jars to teach teenagers how to spend their money wisely.When Jerrys grandchildren turned 13, his present to each of them were three jars: one for spending, one for saving, and a
19、nother for givinghe has since added a fourth jar for investing. It was from then on that his grandchildren started to be in control of what to do with the money they receive: spend, save, invest, or give? Jerrys birthday present to his grandparents is, however, much more than money and a few jarshe
20、is giving them an opportunity to learn lifelong values. The value taught with the Spending jar is that you are responsible for your own happiness. Money gives you independence and the opportunity to buy something you like. After all, its OK to be nice to yourself!While spending jar is about here and
21、 now, the saving jar gives you a vision for future. This could involve saving for university, but it could also mean saving for that special something youve seen in the stores its up to you.The Investing jar not only represents a vision for the the future, but gives the opportunity to build for the
22、future. Although this could likewise involve putting aside money for your university education, it also means investing in yourself.The Giving jar is all about kindness and helping. Whether you want to help out a friend, give money to an animal charity or to children in another country, its your mon
23、ey to give to whatever cause you believe in. The wider aim of the jars is to encourage teenagers to think more objectively about money and the things that it can do, so that they grow up understanding, if you like, the value of the valuable. In this way, they will be better equipped in their adult l
24、ives to make informed choices about how they use the money they have. Indeed, the small change inside their jars could mean a big change in how they manage their money.有价值的价值年轻人的消费能力因人而异。然而，两家公司都面临着同样的问题:如何处理这笔钱?有些人处理得不如其他人好。最近的头条新闻显示，越来越多的青少年在游戏和其他网络活动上透支了父母的信用卡。与这些挥霍无度的人相比，还有一些青少年证明年龄并不是充分利用金钱的障碍。
25、在她祖父的帮助下，8岁的科勒汤普森开始为她所在地区的无家可归者制作“Kare包”。包里装着牙膏、肥皂和袜子等必需品，这些都是她先用零花钱，然后通过众筹购买的。这些东西有助于使穷人和无家可归者的生活稍微容易一些。在收到一个Kare包时，一位女士说:“你让我觉得自己是个人。”无论人们打算如何使用他们的钱，对年轻一代来说，管理他们的钱似乎是前所未有的重要。2016年的一项研究表明，美国有17个州要求高中生学习个人理财课程。对于那些没有机会参加课程的人来说，杰里维科夫斯基(Jerry Witkovsky)的帮助可能就在手边，他利用四个罐子来教青少年如何明智地花钱。当杰里的孙子们13岁的时候，他给他们每
26、人的礼物是三个罐子:一个用于消费，一个用于储蓄，另一个用于赠予后来他又增加了第四个罐子用于投资。从那时起，他的孙子们开始掌握如何使用他们收到的钱:花，存，投资，还是捐赠?然而，杰瑞送给爷爷奶奶的生日礼物不仅仅是钱和几个罐子他是在给爷爷奶奶一个学习终身价值的机会。“花钱罐”教给我们的价值是:你要为自己的幸福负责。钱给了你独立和买你喜欢的东西的机会。毕竟，对自己好一点是可以的!当消费之罐就在此时此刻，储蓄之罐给你一个未来的愿景。这可能需要为上大学攒钱，但也可能意味着为你在商店里看到的特别的东西攒钱这取决于你自己。投资罐不仅代表了对未来的愿景，而且提供了为未来建造的机会。虽然这也可能涉及到为大学教育存钱，但这也意味着为自己投资。“给予罐”是关于善良和帮助的。不管你是想帮助朋友，还是想把钱捐给动物慈善机构，还是捐给其他国家的孩子，你的钱都可以捐给你所信仰的任何事业。罐子的更广泛的目的是鼓励青少年更客观地思考金钱和金钱可以做的事情，这样他们长大后就会明白，如果你愿意的话，有价值的东西的价值。通过这种方式，他们将在成年生活中得到更好的装备，在如何使用他们所拥有的金钱方面做出明智的选择。事实上，他们罐子里的小零钱可能意味着他们管理金钱的方式的大变化。
