#teenblogger: To Follow or Not To Follow‪?‬

All Clancy Yearforth wanted to do was start a simple blog to talk about stuff she liked and the things she did at school. She didn’t expect it to take off like a frog in a sock, especially after telling everyone she was going to the Teen Blogger Conference.

Suddenly she’s gaining likes, followers and subscribers, and while she thinks it’s awesome, the horrible comments and rude behaviour from people she doesn’t know and some of the kids at school are not.

After attending the conference where she’s stalked and harassed, then her schoolmates dictating how and when she should blog, Clancy needs to decide whether blogging is even worth her time and energy anymore.

Clancy’s come face to face with the same dilemma so many experience online every day. Whether to stick by your own principles and be yourself in everything you do, or to conform to the pressures of what everyone else wants. To stand by your own beliefs and the things you say, or be dictated to by those who don’t like what you think or say and treat you badly for it.

That’s why for Clancy it all comes down to one simple thing… To Follow or Not To Follow?
