But with the advent of the internet that age old teenage problem has taken on a new level of angst and confusion. It's like Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame comments really have come true. People want to feel like they are of interest and that they are important; and with sites like ask.fm, you can make yourself look important and interesting. Perhaps this girl felt that she needed other people's approval, or perhaps she didn't know what she wanted at all. It must be embarrassing for her family to hear this news from the website though and for it to be in the public domain... their deceased daughter is now being portrayed as an attention seeker by the media.
