Recently, Emily sat at the nail salon getting a manicure while admiring (coveting) the fluorescent green and purple acrylic nails that the teenage girl next to her was getting in preparation for a big birthday party. She would not only be celebrating her birthday, she readily explained, but also her return to high school after a 4-month absence due to a severe anxiety disorder that had recently come to light. “The important thing is to have the right mindset,” the girl explained, before detailing the experiences that she’d had leading up to her medical leave. Most of it included bullying by her peers, both on social media and in real life. Her classmates gave her cruel nicknames and made lists of potential romantic couples through some app that Emily had never heard of, pairing the young teen with the unlikeliest of people. Emily’s nail buddy said that she has since sworn off social media, calling it “evil.”
