Do ya'll remember "slam books"? In the 70's girls would bring spiral notebooks to school and passed them around. There were questions like, do you like chocolate or vanilla? Swimming pools or the beach? What do you think about (some girls by name). Do you think (some girl by name has a crush on some boy by name).

It was horrible. It wasn't worse than today. Except, really, you had to choose to look away before, and somehow teenagers at this point REFUSE to look away from negative social media. They refuse to look away now.
