Chat About Girl Online Book
I wanted a quick chat about ‘Girl Online’ by Zoe Sugg. Her
first novel and let me tell you I’m very proud of what she’s accomplished. It’s
a beautiful story that I wish I could carry on reading!
I love how Zoe has used the book to bring points out, like over
anxiety and online bullying. With people online, it’s true how people say
things without thinking of who they are saying it to and how it will affect
that other person. And Zoe really brings to light how that can happen in a
situation, with this girl writing a blog in secret. It all comes down to people
not thinking before they speak it, or write it. And I really hope that people
read this book and really think about that. Zoe wrote something in the book
that she’s also wrote similar on twitter and said in videos lately and I really
love how she puts it. She says ‘Every
time you post something online you have a choice. You can either make it
something that adds to the happiness levels in the world or you can make it
something that takes it away from them.’ Really have a think about that.
Then there’s the anxiety. I’ve dealt with being shy my whole
life and it stops me from doing so much. There are people who do understand
because they suffer with the same or know people that are similar. But you
always get people in your lives that don’t understand. I’ve had so many cases
of close people to me that just don’t understand and so try and push me.
Sometimes that is the worst thing you can do. And I think it’s the same with people on the internet that see other
people on YouTube suffering with the anxiety, or don’t see it at all, don’t
understand what they are having to go through and think it’s nothing. They
haven’t tried to see from the other person’s side. So in the book this girl is
trying to cope and learn what this anxiety is that she’s getting. The close
people she has around trying to help but the other people around her don’t
understand. But there are also times she does get some help. I feel like Zoe
has put things she’s learnt from having anxiety, got all her experience
together and put it in this book to help others around her as much as she can.
I hope you enjoyed this, what was meant to be a quick chat
but has become quite deep. Haha!
Let me know if you’ve read the book and what you think about it.
