I have to tell myself to get off Facebook when I’m at the point of stalking people, like pretty hipster girls who always have the perfect outfits. It’s a really awful feeling, like eating an entire tub of ice cream. You can’t stop doing it. You feel sick, but, you can’t stop.”-Kennedy, 17Carraway, Kate, Teenland 2011, Eye Weekly, January 20-26, 2011, pp. 15-18
