Teens + Crushes + Internet
Sunday, August 23, 2009 by sca
Many will agree with me that the Internet is one of the best inventions of today because it gives the user so many opportunities of video chatting with people in countries around the world, meeting interesting people in chat rooms and lastly stalking different people anonymously. There are many social networking sites that people can join for free and at the same time get the latest information on what his or her crush is up too.
Many high school girls join sites like Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, Multiply and so on to know what their crush has been doing, by examining his status updates, and checking out his latest photo albums. But since there are privacy options on most of these sites it becomes a challenge for these girls to create a whole new imaginary person that they have to give a life too. They pretend to be this bogus person, thinking that their crush will accept the friend request that they will send that will give them full access to his profile. They now have to maintain two accounts on each of the social networking sites that they belong to and think and act as two different people. Even though this can be challenging and confusing many of them are successful in doing it and enjoy living their second life. They have two worlds, one of their own and the other of the second identity, that they are part of and two identities to live through. This is a smart way of stalking a crush because the crush will have no idea that the person that he added is a non-existent person in real life. Now the girl is able to comment on the different things that her crush does and knows what kind of a person he really is by reading his profile and looking at what kind of friends he has. The girl then reaches a satisfaction level that she will cherish and work hard to maintain, the moment of being a mouse click away from the boy of her dreams.
Technology today has a way of affecting how people live their lives and gives them the satisfaction they need. This craze is still very popular among teenage girls around the world who are very desperate to be part of the world of the boy of their dreams.
