Even the protagonist's love interest adds to her suffering.

Was in seinen Anfängen als reines Kommunikationsmittel erschien, hat sich zu einer eigenständigen Umgebung entwickelt, einer Erweiterung der realen Welt, die im Alltag von Millionen von Jugendlichen allgegenwärtig ist. Für Kinder und Jugendliche sind diese Plattformen mittlerweile mehr als nur ein Mittel, um in Kontakt zu bleiben: Sie sind ein Ort der Sozialisierung, des Ausdrucks, der Identitätsbildung, aber manchmal auch des Drucks, des Vergleichs und des Leidens.

Commonalities takes the reader through the obstacles that destroy partnerships by means of social media, mobile phones, the internet and TV.
