Feedback on "The Flaw in My Facebook"
That vortex of social networking is relatable and in "The Flaw in My Facebook" by Kiara Huerner, the struggle is explained. Huerner explains the perks of going on Facebook instead of doing her homework. The article has every teenager nodding their heads as they reminisce their memories of the sweet siren-like sounds of procrastination.
Huerner, as well as every teenager, knows the warm embrace of social networking. She describes it as an escape from life as her "hyperactive brain relaxes in this imaginary world where there is no worries, no deadlines, no expectations." Similarly, teenagers find themselves in the same predicament as their brain defaults to the humor, gossip, and weird links rather than their homework that sits by them. In this way, their attention is taken away until a sudden sound has them glance up to see that it is, in fact, 1 AM. This "semi-addiction" affects most and Huerner's rendition of it makes it an exceptional read.
