Student responses should explain that the blogger has posted on a blog about a similar experience with an ex-boyfriend who lied and that she feels comfortable sharing something this private because the blog is anonymous.

Student responses should describe how the blogger mentions that two other people wrote in after her saying that they’d had similar experiences and felt less alone after reading what she’d written.

Briefly describe your own thoughts about posting personal experiences online. Do you feel more like the blogger, that there is benefit in sharing if you can keep your privacy, or do you feel more like her friend, who is uncomfortable with that kind of self-disclosure even if anonymity is guaranteed?

Although answers may vary, there are no wrong answers to this question. Some students may identify with the blogger and others may identify with her friend.
