They attract the attention of others because their lives allude to something better, something other users viewing their profile will then strive to attain. On the social networking site, Instagram, these strangers appear attractive, captivating, and flawless. Disguised under the pretense of becoming more cultured, adolescents and young adults are increasingly willing to connect and interact with strangers through social media. Despite these frequent warnings, social media has found a way to glamorize strangers and make it socially acceptable to interact with them. The underlying message is this: strangers equal danger.
