Hello everyone,
How fake is your life online? Do you know Essena O'Neil. She is a 19-year-old model from Queensland, Australia. She had more than 600,000 Instagram fans following her, but she stopped using social media because she felt miserable and with serious problems. She  deleted her Instagram account and decided to leave the life of a viral media star.
