What are some benefits of technology? Since machines are way faster than humans, certain tasks that may require an incredible amount of manual work and attention to detail can be easily accomplished with the help of technology. Technology also ensures improved accuracy. Further, the use of technology in certain areas can also help save significant costs.
how far is too far when it comes to technology? Too much time with technology causes children to not get enough exercise.

“Why young brains are especially vulnerable to social media”
“Instead, kids, their friends, and even people they’ve never met can continue to seek, deliver, or withhold social rewards in the form of likes, comments, views, and follows.”1
Teens today are extremely connected to what they post on social media. They are posting things and hoping for people that they know and people that they don’t interact with in the posts that they put out there. This is very similar to Zits who wants everyone to pay attention to him. He may not have used social media for that attention, but he and teens in the real world both want all people to give them the reward of attention. This site also talks about how starting at 10, children shift to peer attention as well as brain chemistry connections to Zits.
“ More than two thirds of children reported at least 1 traumatic event by age 16.”
Zits has experienced so many different traumas in his life, and this quote demonstrates that 66% of teens will have also experienced at least one trauma by the time they are 16. So many kids have to live like Zits: in foster care, with a parent who has abandoned them, with the loss of a parent to cancer, with other adults who abuse and belittle them. This source also goes on to explain that children in Zits’ position, who experience trauma, are more likely to be involved with the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
Why does it seem like low self-esteem is an epidemic among our kids?

Trauma-informed care (TIC) involves a broad understanding of traumatic stress reactions and common responses to trauma. Providers need to understand how trauma can affect treatment presentation, engagement, and the outcome of behavioral health services.
Too many people think fighting is better than talking out their problems.
Feeling Ugly Doesn’t Mean You Are Ugly
“Why do I feel so ugly?” or, “I hate how I look!”
Being a teenager is tough–you’re growing into your body, navigating the social world, and working hard to meet the demands of your parents and teachers all day long.
Flight by Sherman Alexie contains many curse words, and young children should not read books with curse words until they are in their teens. Adults may have issues with reading books that talk about modern-day stuff because most adults only understand books about back then.
One of the ideas from the article that it talks about in the book is the FBI agents killing the Indians for no reason at all
What do you think is the most important aspect (part) of Zits’ character?
Zits’s bodily time travel not only pays heed to the physical pain of violence but allows him to see history up close from a variety of perspectives—a process that presumably, in the vein of multiculturalism, leads Zits to develop empathy across racial lines and eventually renounce violence when he comes back into his life.
What defines him the most? The character defines himself by his worst physical quality.

What happens when a person does not accept and/or does not play by the rules of the main culture or what everyone else feels is appropriate or what people should be like? They get in trouble for not doing the right thing.
