3 Dangerous Habits Millennials Have Normalized — And Why They’ve Got It Wrong
Social media might not be feeding you the right information.
“I’ve just got through my third cup of coffee, and it’s only 11 AM. Anyone else having a hard time today?”
The radio jockey’s voice blared through the speakers. I tapped my fingers on the steering wheel and listened on. The entire show was based on how people could send text messages to the RJ, and he’d read out some and play a song of their choice.

This article is about three other such habits that have detrimental effects on physical and mental health. Still, they have been so normalized by popular culture and social media that no one bats an eye. It might serve as an eye-opener for you.
