WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT YOUR DETOX? wHAT ARE THEIR REACTIONS? 

Mme Lalonde: When I tell people that I am doing a social media detox, they are very surpised. They often ask why and what the purpose is. Sometimes they tell me that they would never be able to do it, but encourage me. When I told my students, they seemed shocked, but then once I explained everything, they wanted to join! I think that I am a good role model for my students and can help them! 

​What my students are saying:
My dad said that I would be able to this for one month, my cousin's reaction was why are you doing this for, well a said that it was a challenge that my teacher wanted us to do. 

Most of the people are saying that it's good for you to take a break and do something more productive.

Well, my Mom was shocked that I was doing it and my Dad was just bugging me for it. Most of my friends are doing it white me so they were not really surprised about it .and I think I told my big sisters and my big brother about they were supportive and they try not to bug me.

My friend are saying that im crazy to do this, Véronic and Simon are really happy that am taking a break forme Tiktok Snapchat Instagram  and facebook.

hOW DO YOU FIND YOUR MIND? (mORE RELAXED, LESS WORRIED, MORE CALM, MORE FOCUSED?) 

I can definitely say that my mind is less busy. I am not thinking or worrying about everything that I see on social media all the time. I am not comparing myself as much and feel overall more happy. I think that my body and mind are much calmer. However, sometimes when I think about what I am missing on Twitter, I find myself getting a little anxious. I hope that with the next upcoming days and weeks I am able to find more peace about the FOMO on Twitter. 

​​What my students are saying:
I find my mind less worried because, I don't have to worry about how I look like in pictures. I'm able to focused more in class because I don't have to go on social medial all the time I can not go on. 

I do feel more relaxed and more calm with this .

​​I find my mind extremely tense but RELAX and I guess I have more time to do stuff. and most of the time I paint find writing ideas. I try to make time go faster for all of the tings are doing .and I work on most of my assignments. 
​
I find my mind more focused on the real life and more relaxes,

WHAT OTHER APPS ARE YOU FINDING YOURSELF USING INSTEAD OF SOCIAL MEDIA? 

I have noticed that I am constantly opening up my PHOTOS app on my phone to keep my brain busy and looking at something. I will aimlessly scroll through my photos to entertain me. I have also started watching Youtube videos (which I never ever ever) did before. I am not sure if I will continue to have the Youtube app on my phone as it is simply seeming to take the place of other social medias. 

​​What my students are saying:
The apps I'm more use youtube I watch AlishaMarieVlogs and Netflix I watch sugar rush. 

I am using youtube as my app. 

​I am using allot more youtube and even Netflix and google docs and google slides. 

The other apps I am using is youtube, my photos. I am reading like  books, school work and juste talking with other people. 

​Well am using youtube to pud music and danse to, I play some games that I was on my phone, Im using https://soap2day.com to watch my favorite movie Descendants 1 2 and 3

 
What my students are saying... (other responses) 

This is my second day doing the detox I was challenged by my teacher madame Lalonde. So far it's been hard I miss social media but at the same time I find i'm more present in class and at home I like having to make plans and meeting up with my friends instead of having to text them and end up not making plans. I also find that my sleep is much better since im not on my phone till 1 or even 2 I find that I pay more attention when people talk or even just in class since I don't have snapchat notifs or instagram dm's I believe in myself and think that i will be able to complete this challenge.  

What is the main reason why you are not able to be away from your phone? How do you feel without it.....The main reason why i can not be away from my phone is because im soo used to having it with me that its like attached to me and i have everything on it so i can not leave it with someone. I feel bored or lonely without my phone because thats how i comunicate with the people i love when i cant be with them, i also feel very weird and i will probably just go to sleep and past the time if i have no service or my phone. 
​
How many times a day do you think your check your phone? I check my phone like every minute unless im very busy or if im not aloud to be on it. I hate not having it with me or if i cant be on it because it just gives me anxiety and stress. 

How much time (hours) do you think you spend on your phone?I honestly spend a lot of time on my phone and sometimes im sure ill be like 1 hour on my phone, not 2 because after a while i wont have nothing to do on it. I dont hate always being on my phone because its part of my lifestyle and its something that i do and not realize it so like i dont hate myself for being on it all the time.

What are you most used apps? Rate them in order 1 - 5. 
​The first app i ALWAYS open is snapchat because thats mainly how i comunicate with my friends and i see peoples stories and what they are doing. The second app i open is instagram because i like to see what people post and i like to watch memes and funny  meme vidoes. The third app is facebook because i see what my family posts and the new things they got or what they are doing. My 4th app would be tik tok because usually there are some funny vidoes and stuff that i can relate too. And finally my 5th app is VSCO because ill check if i got any notifications or if anyone republished any of my pictures and stuff.
