That topic is related to social media.

You guys also like to use social media, right? Before starting my topic, I would like to ask you guys about that social media.

It can be confusing to know that question, right?
I'm also confused now. But related to this topic, I want to share something with you guys about internet abuse and teenage life. This is the negative side, right?

So, pay attention to the story that I'm now telling you guys.
There is a girl named Zoe who is still 12 years old. She is a pretty girl. There is no one around her at that age because her sisters are going to the school residence. And also her parents work, and there is no one around her. She gets upset for that reason. And also, there is someone who blames her because she looks like a fat girl. And she cried a lot when she was called like that among many people. She started to try to lose weight.
You know what kind of Eating disorder she had? It's anorexia nervosa. She stopped eating high-calorie food and even drinking water due to fear of being bloated. She eats less and less. And she always compared her image of yesterday and today.

She started to lose weight, and she even started to become a skeleton. During her school holidays, she opened a Facebook account and posted a selfie of around 7 images, I think. Some of her friends saw her, and some gave good reactions and haha reactions. Due to that posting, she got video phone calls from someone she didn't know. But she didn't answer the phone call. When the school restarted, some of her friends blamed her, some people stared at her with strange eyes and some boys teased and some boys told her the love language because she became beautiful. But when she came back home, her aunt saw her selfie post because she also used the Facebook account and told her parents. Her parents scolded her not to be publicity. because it's dangerous. She was still 12 and she didn't know anything about using the internet using but the elders knew how impactful it was for them to use. Since that time, she was not allowed to use the phone and was restricted from opening the account. She had been looked after by the fatotum all the time because her parents asked her, even though she didn't like to be looked after.

She even tried to commit su***de, but fortunately, her dad screamed at her and always looked after her. Since then, her parents started to realize that it wasn't possible to let her alone.

But fortunately, her sisters came back home and she couldn't be alone. During the covid 19, all people had to stay home, and no one was allowed to go out. She got the phone from her parents because they trusted trustworthy to give her due to her being her sister her, and she was always looking forward to it. Her age became 13 and she regretted that she made that mistake with the Facebook account. She only uses it to make friends and contact with the school. Due to that COvide 19, she had to attend school via Zoom, and since then, Zoom has been the most useful tool for students who use the online learning method. They could learn it well, even though it has some drawbacks.

As time went on, she started to reflect on herself that she used that kind of technology as a dull person. She ought to use to wisely and effectively. She started to know how to use it effectively and how she can learn about her interests from that. Due to her parents' encouragement and support, she became eager to be an outstanding student without being overly focused on others.

Since 2023, she has had to attend the IGCSE, which is an international school for students who can connect with universities abroad. Her mom's aim is to make her like her eldest sister, who is in the United States. Her sisters are also worried her to be the wrong path. Therefore, they had to care for her a lot. Her mom even said that she had been a clever daughter when she was a child, and she always helped her parents. But after the 12 years age, she became stupid. It can be because of the female hormone. This is also the age at which female starts to get their menstruation.That blood circulation connects with the human brain. That's why she has difficulty controlling herself, and she also has unusual diets. It's been twice that she left home that she is living. The first time was the reason that she really wanted to meet her parents because she thought she had been trapped by her aunts from her mom's side and left alone. This was when she was 14 years old. And after she finished IGCSE, she got some stress that made her feel like an unfree person, and she thought of herself as a stupid daughter to her parents and blamed herself. She thought it would be better if there were no her in this family because she is the troublemaker and the one who gives family members trauma. Then she left.
But due to missing home, she came back.

After that, her parents started to get angry because she did that even though they supported her a lot. They questioned her why she did that. And her mom realized that it would be better to send her to her eldest sister. She can be clever only if there is her eldest sister is beside her. She knows that the reason why he daughter did that is because she was lonely and he missed her sisters a lot. It's been around 6 years since she hadn't met her.

When she reached the United States, she calmed down, and people had no words for her to say. Because she is an unusual person, but she still has talents. She is now trying harder to save her life. Without getting much support from parents and trying only with her efforts, she realized to pursue her life. Because she feels guilty when she gets support from her parents again. She doesn't want to make them again to lose trustworthy. Therefore, she is now trying harder for herself and she gets ages now. Now she is almost 19 and we also wish her to pass that teenage life. Teenage life is really difficult to pass through; honestly, it is a journey to become an adult. Even though someone is challenging herself, it's a way to make herself to achieve success. She is now repairing her mistakes and condemning herself, and living herself by realizing that nothing belongs to her in this world. There is only one who can save herself.
