Tanya’s head wracked with
pain and worry. She had known
that some girls in Lia’s class
acted above their age, watched
movies meant for teenagers
and young adults and even had
Facebook and Instagram
accounts. Lia had mentioned to
her earlier, but Tanya had
always intended for Lia to be
off social media until in high
school, as well as watch
movies and series which were
age appropriate.
Keeping it simple, keeping it
innocent was the mantra that
both Tanya and Dev had
agreed upon for Lia. However,
with the turn of events and
onslaught of technology
coupled with peer pressure,
Lia’s innocent world of ten had
come crashing down. She was
now denied of her innocence,
denied of keeping her life
simple, denied being who she
was growing up to be!
It was hard to be simple and
technology free!
