Keep in mind the central scenario to this was real life, interted was just the media people were using to criticize her without telling it to her face. I think it is expecting too much to ask someone of that age to shut themselves to the world and ignore all the people around her judging her.
If the central scenario is real life, then why couldn't she stop using facebook? I understand that it is a big part of life for many people nowadays, but if she 1) has no friends (thus removing the practical use of social media), 2) Facebook is giving her more problems than solutions, and 3) people are tormenting her on it, then maybe getting off facebook is a good idea. Considering she kept switching schools, it would be significantly harder for these things to follow her if she removed herself from social media. As long as she used it, more people saw the bullying she was being subjected to and it was always on her mind. I can't imagine that if a girl switched to a school and then some people posted things on facebook that the entire population of her new school was all jump in on the "lets torment the new girl" bandwagon.
Idk, I guess it doesn't matter what I think since it is not what she did, but all I am saying is that there are ways to remove yourself from sources of strife without completely isolating yourself from the internet/world.
