Screen to screen or face to face
Social media takes up so much time of our life. Some people can’t even go 5 minutes without checking their phone. Are we choosing to talk to each other on the phone rather than face to face? Maybe we need to find something in-between. The way we communicate have changed a lot over the past years.

My teacher would never believe me. You see, Amanda is the perfect girl, she is beautiful, smart, popular and nice. Or that’s what everybody else think. And I, I am the lonely, strange girl, with not as good grads, how sits alone with her book. If I told anyone, and show them the texts, they would probably say I made that up because I am jealous.
