A feature of
facebook which enables insecure upper middle class girls from the suburbs to make themselves feel heard, popular and befriended.
*status* "Why does
life suck so much?"
*status* "Never give up on love <3"
Clearly, a girl trying to appeal to a large audience, in the hopes of getting recognition, and attention from her peers. The desire for the feeling of recognition and ultimatley importance, is why these kinds of status's exist on
facebook.
Angelina: I can't believe my boyfriend broke up with me, i loved him!!! it was our third day together. I thought it was true love :(
Kate: OMG

*Angelina writes
facebook status*
"I thought it was true love </3"
Attention seeking complete.
