Over the weekend I watched the show Apple Cider Vinegar on UK Netflix. I was astonished at how this young woman Bella Gibson made people believe her lies.
I think it's because people want to be a celebrity and have praise. This is a part of the TV show that I think they should have shown more.
Especially due to the other show called Adolescence about certain aspects of social media and peers that can affect how young men think.
Young women are more likely to feel they need to become a sexual object then be respected for who they are.

This also has an effect because young men then take advantage of young women and their insecurity.
What bothers me more is that the boyfriend stood by and let her do this and didn't speak up.
The meaning of the story is that these people that lie have people that enable them. Let them off the hook and ignore the real truth. Because of the monetary benefit it can bring.
With every invention that helps us can also be a hindrance used for improper means. That's why there needs to be more laws with social media and the internet.
But as with American politics, it is a tool that can be used to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories.
It takes writers and voices like ours to call out these inconsistencies or we will forever be in a place of misleading information that could make you poor or even kill you. #Snakeoil
