She quits social media and writes a public article in traditional media so that people can talk even more about her? Is this her idea or the idea of her mother who probably is friends with someone working at fastcompany? I'd be interested to find out how a "random" 8th grader got to write an article for fastcompany and if she or her family has any ties with anyone at fastcompany or even Mehta, the editor. Also, couldn't this also be viewed as fastcompany exploiting an 8th grader for money and agenda? And is this girl's parents any better than the social media parents? The internal contradictions and hypocrisy in this article is quite something to behold.
