Before the article even starts, at the top of the page it says, “ 'If you’re not on MySpace, you don’t exist'- Skyler, 18, to her mom". I felt a flashback come to me. I was in 8th grade and I really wanted a Facebook because everyone else had one. Face it, we all did this because our world maneuvers around technology and social media.
In the article, Boyd talks about Identity performance. I like when she said " we take the body for granted". As we hit about 12, 13, we start having to learn to communicate online. We don't have the gestures and " the act of articulation differs from how we convey meaningful information through our bodies". We get so used to this and then bullying happens. Sometimes information is misinterpreted and others see posts that are thought to be bullying but it is really sarcasm. We all need to think very hard of what we put online.
