In my view, i think blogging is a very good way, for me, to relieve stress. We can say anything we want- from venting our anger to crying our hearts out. It can also be a form of leisure and entertainment, although I'm not quite sure how it can be a form of entertainment.

Blogging has its own effects on each and everyone. Trying to list them all would be like trying to cram primary, secondary and tertiary education into one year, which is possible but takes a very long time. There are different types of blogging, mainly for personal exposure(more on this side) and information sharing. Many teens blog because it is an easy way to release themselves from everything kept in them, start fresh every morning and release everything done/felt throughout the day by blogging. For others, they just want to share whatever they think others should know.

Let me share my perspective on using blogs as a study tools. I do not think blogging is a good way to study, as it is usually used as a form of expression, so people tend to use their lingo, like "singlish", to express themselves. Using proper English to blog, in many teens view, would be like writing an essay on your feelings, it doesn't show the true feelings, which are hidden by perfection of writing. But then again, many other people tend to think otherwise. Everyone has their own perspective, its whether our ideas are alike or not.
