Sample Book Insights: #1 I was a cyber ho at only eleven years old, and I spent hours online chatting with imaginary friends. AOL gave me a social life, and I was able to talk to boys at my command. #2 I spent my days and after-school hours online, chatting with kids my age who were also ahead of the curve. I led my friends to believe that I was on the brink of stardom by breathing in the smog of other celebrities around me. #3 I was wrought with hormones, and I was obsessed with finding a boyfriend. I was too embarrassed to ask my peers, so I would imagine that I held the interest of all the boys. I was the continued object of disdain from my peers. #4 I was rapidly coming to the conclusion that boys didn’t find me attractive. I was heartbroken, but I had a saving grace: the Instant Message feature on AOL, which allowed me to become someone else online. I could be light-skinned with long hair or blue-eyed with blond hair.
