 When young people have to pay for “showing-off”

VietNamNet Bridge – The young always want to express and show themselves off,  but when they try to prove their personality by odd hobbies, then perhaps it's time for young people to look back.

Passion for photography or half-hearted hobby?

Photography has become a very hot trend for young people today. With a digital camera or a phone with camera function, youngsters can realize their hobby.

For many people, the purpose of hunting beautiful photos is to satisfy their passion, but there are also many people who follow this trend only to ape others.

The idea to become a photographer flashed in the head of N. (20 years old, Hanoi) since his photos were posted on facebook and they were enthusiastically supported by his friends. At first, N took photos by his cell phone, but to have quality pictures, he needed a dedicated camera. This prompted N. "thinking seriously about photographic enthusiasts."

Participating in online photography clubs, N. was advised to "play hard." The young man invested all his money to become an amateur photographer with tripods, lens and accessories such as moisture-proof box, special backpack, external hard drive, etc.

However, not long after that, N. felt sluggish when this pleasure was not only costly but also time consuming. N. offered for sales his cameras and accessories on the Internet.

From hobby to show pictures

Many young people also love to show off their "sparkling" portraits or their presence in somewhere on facebook to get like or comments.

"Photography is a hobby of many people and I have no idea about it. But when I visit monuments and construction works, it is very frustrating that I could not take any photo just because of young people who always surrounded the works to take photo," one commented on a photographic forum.

Some young people have gestures such as kissing, hugging, or climbing on majestic statues to pose for photos.

At the recent Mid-Autumn occasion, toy shops on Hang Ma, Hang Luoc streets in Hanoi and the lantern street in HCM City had to ban young people from standing in front of their stores to take picture. Many shops hang a sign warning: "Not shooting here."

Hunting to monstrous pictures

Recently, a number of online newspapers also reflected a new movement of the youth that make others to shiver of fear. That is the "hobby” of hunting pictures of accidents. With cameras and cell in hand, these people are scrambling to hunt macabre images of accidents, violence ... then post them on the social networks for people to make comments.

The more creepy pictures are, the more photographers show their dedication and skill and the more their pictures attract people’s comments. Every month we also choose the most grisly photos to present awards. The person with most impressive photo will be elected as the chairman and may make recommendations to other members of topics," a young man shared about this frightening trend on a newspaper.

Many people are skeptical about this movement because they cannot imagine that there is a part of young people who have such bizarre thought and behavior. However, just go to Google, people can see hundreds of social networking sites regularly publish and update tragic images of death by a large team of corpse-hunting “photographers”.

Many young people after making "victory" as killing endangered animals, causing deadly accidents, slandered each other show these "achievements" on social networks. In the most recent case, a soldier posted a series of photos on killing a langur on Facebook on July 16.

Before that, a young guy "showed off an achievement” on facebook and was arrested by the authorities. This man, named Nguyen Manh Linh, 21 in Lao Cai province, who has nick name "keo mut choi boi" wrote that he killed an old man on an accident, with words of emotionless, ruthless.

These people are not only criticized by the online community but also have to take responsibility before the law for what they caused. This is a lesson for those who love to express themselves but lack of knowledge, lack of understanding of the law.
