CHATBOT: At 15, Sarah Jackson was a textbook example of an annoying teenage girl. With her gum-snapping habit, constant eye-rolls, and snarky comments, she navigated her high school hallways with a sense of misguided superiority. Obsessed with social media and glued to her phone, Sarah's online persona was carefully curated but starkly differed from the tumultuous reality of her home life.
