I understand how poeple can be suprised on how we all spend so much time online but at the same time it's just an inevitable part of our lives, we use it for hoimework, to talk with friends, for fun it's not really like a chpoie anymore we are so consumed into it that it has become a part of our lives.
The part that I couldn't relate to was the sexting and anorexia girl, why would you send somebpdy a naked picture or be part of some weird clan online, it scares me.
the advice I would give is be safe and responsible
