GA Voice intern Sage NenyueI do not claim to be a doctor; just an observer of phenomenon in the natural world — a cultural researcher. Of my findings, I discovered a state of being that I call “21ism.” It refers to the disease that many youth succumb to upon obtaining “legal” status.

You would think that after spending all of my teenage and young adult years writing in the “about me” section of every social networking site from MySpace to Facebook and now GooglePlus (that’s right—Google me, baby!) that introducing one’s self online would be easier. Or, at least, that you would have a solid handle on how others would perceive you based on your words.
