Why you shouldn't be laughing at your friends mourning the loss of Liam Payne

By now, we have all heard the news of Liam Payne's passing, and if you haven't, well, now you have. Payne, 31, tragically passed away in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Wednesday, Oct. 16.

The ‘tween stage’ is gone

We live in a time where not existing on social media can lead us to be completely disconnected from what is happening around us. Most of the time, what connects people are similarities in what they consume online, and with how common social media use is now, this happens to be more common in children.
