         What is a community? A Community is a group of people that come together because of a common interest, feature or quality. Examples of these can include communities based on location, race, age, fan groups, and even religion. Each and every person in a community is important because they have their own role in contributing with individual and creative ideas. As people, one by one, come together because of their common qualities, more communities begin to form. For example, I belong to the Armenian community. The Armenian community is a community that has formed based on race. This community consists of Armenian students, teachers, families, youth and elders. All these people have been brought together due to their love for their culture, country and history. I also belong to the community consisting of people around the age of sixteen and seventeen. It is natural for teens around the same age to form a common understanding or community because they are usually involved in similar activities as well as having similar day to day lives, struggles and accomplishments. Teens also form communities virtually, through social networks. For example, girls that like Justin Bieber and constantly tweet about him will automatically feel a connection and bond with one another through twitter, even if they have not met each other in person. These are just a few of the many communities that exist in the world around us.
