Clara, a 12-year-old girl from São Luís, Maranhão, navigates the challenges of balancing social media with real-life friendships. In her journey, she faces the dilemma of losing touch with reality and learns the importance of justice through her interactions with friends and family.
Clara always loved spending time with her friends at the beach in São Luís, but lately, she found herself glued to her phone, scrolling through social media. One day, she missed out on an important game because she was too busy liking photos. " - I feel like I'm missing out on so much!" Clara exclaimed to her friend, Lucas. " - Maybe it's time to do something about it," Lucas suggested. Clara realized she needed to find a balance between her virtual and real life.
Clara decided to leave her phone at home for a day and focus on enjoying her time outside. However, when she joined her friends again, she felt out of place because they were all discussing a new trend on social media. " - I don't even know what you're talking about," Clara admitted, feeling left out. " - It's okay, Clara! We can catch you up," said her friend Ana with a smile. Still, Clara felt the pressure to keep up with both worlds.
Despite her efforts, Clara found herself drifting back to her phone, trying to stay relevant online. She even started posting more frequently to gain likes and followers, but it never seemed enough. " - Why isn't anyone liking my posts?" Clara wondered aloud, feeling anxious. " - Maybe it's not about the likes," her brother suggested. Clara felt torn between her desire for online validation and the joy of real-life interactions.
Frustrated and exhausted, Clara considered giving up on trying to balance both lives. She felt like she would never find the right path. " - Maybe I should just quit social media altogether," Clara thought. Her heart ached at the thought of losing touch with her online friends. " - But how will I know what's happening?" she asked herself. Clara sat quietly, wondering if there was a solution at all.
Just when Clara was about to give up, her grandmother shared a story about her own childhood and how she valued real connections. " - We didn't have these gadgets, but we had each other," her grandmother said with a wise smile. Clara realized the importance of cherishing her real-life relationships. " - You're right, Grandma. I want to be present for my friends," Clara decided. With newfound determination, she planned to manage her time better and focus on what truly mattered.
Clara finally found a balance by setting specific times for social media and dedicating more moments to her real-life friendships. She organized a beach outing with her friends, leaving their phones behind. " - This is so much fun!" Clara laughed as they played in the waves. " - I'm glad we're all here," Lucas replied, splashing water at her playfully. Clara felt a sense of justice, knowing she had made the right choice for her happiness and friendships.
