The YOLO Epidemic
Nasia Kayfetz makes a strong argument about the common saying, "YOLO" in her article, "The YOLO Epidemic." Yolo, or you only live once, has been used because teens think that life is too short. Nasia argues that people are using YOLO as an excuse to do what they want. I completely agree that, "YOLO should not be used to justify recklessness." She makes a strong point that, instead of using it to do dumb things, we should use it as a "reminder that we must try to do some good in the world." Nasia also uses examples to make her point like, "grades, college, and risky actions." So, Nasia definitely made a valid point that, "YOLO" is an epidemic in today's society.
