Abstract
This thesis explores Generation Z’s current relationship with sharing their lives online. Research is carried out in the format of a research paper that provides essential background information and nationwide perspectives on Generation Z moving away from living life online or expressing discomfort about their online presence. From these articles and statistics, the hypothesis that Generation Z is burnt out on social media is drawn. This hypothesis is then localized through interviews with University students and young people in Eugene about their relationships with social media. Through this research, one can look critically at the attitudes and behaviors that members of Generation Z have about living their lives online.
