3. Read the post about Ann’s problem carefully. What is the problem? How does the girl feel?
I would really appreciate it if you took the time to respond to my question. My problem is that my parents won’t allow me to have social media. I am very trustworthy and responsible, and I have never done anything huge to make my parents not trust me. I understand that they have their reasons for not allowing me on social media, but it makes me feel incredibly left out, sometimes, as I am the only one of my friends and classmates who doesn’t have social media. My mom says she wants to keep me safe, and I understand that, but many other parents want their kids to be safe, yet they are still allowed to use social media. I recently moved to a new state so I would love to have a way to contact my friends and old classmates other than using texts, because a lot of them don’t text and I would still like to be somewhat connected to them. Not having social media has caused me to feel like I am not as important as others even though I know it isn’t true. I feel like not having it is causing me to become sad and disconnected, and sometimes like I don’t belong. I would love so much if you could respond to this. Thank you so much! Ann.
