Jamie Curry might be the most famous teenager in NZ. She was hoping to get a hundred fans on the ‘Jamie’s World’ facebook page she set up last year. She’s currently got over 800 000. Her videos have a worldwide audience of 7 million people a week.
On the Forum this Sunday George talks to Jamie about what it’s like to go viral on social media, and how it’s changed her life.
We’ll take your thoughts on social media too:
Why do you think certain things go viral online?
What do you not like about social media? What things do people do on facebook which annoy you?
Is being connected to each other so much good or bad for our relationships in real life?
Are you addicted to social media?
George and Nerice talk sosh-med this Monday; Facebook finds more avenues to make $$, wedding hashtags are trending (see what I did there?) and as usual, some feline-related conversation takes place...
Nerice and George give us some handy tips on how to avoid being a Facebook drama mama.

My wife and I are going through a rough patch in our marriage because we haven’t been able to conceive. Recently we discovered that it was a fault of mine that we're trying to sort out. But my wife is so obsessed or focused on getting pregnant, it has caused a huge strain on our relationship and I'm worried she might leave me. How do I keep our marriage alive despite our current obstacles?

Question 1
I found out my mate cheated on his partner. I’ve since become good friends with his fiancé and feel she has a right to know. My loyalties lie with my mate and from what I know it’s not happening anymore, so should I just leave it alone? Problem is I feel like every time we all hang out it eats away at me just knowing.

Question 2
My Boyfriend and I have been dating for 17 months, I am 23 and you could say I’m quite keen to get married relatively soon. It’s not a topic we have ever discussed and I would like to bring it up with him, but I don’t know whether the ball is fully in his court. Should I start hinting or leave it up to him - after all God is in control?

Question 3
Life: My girlfriend of 3 years is brought up buddhist. She believes there is a god but my god is not the only one. She goes to church occasionally with me but is turned off with how much God is the centre of everything. I pray a lot. I want her to know God like I do so she understands. How to approach this?

Question 3
I have always had a difficult relationship with my Dad, but I feel like as I get older, the problem gets bigger. Im 22, single, working full time and living at home. As a girl, I have always wished to feel treasured and loved by my Dad and it's something I have always missed. I don't doubt that he loves me, but he doesn't show it nor does he show any respect for me. No matter how hard I try I always feel invisible to him and Im getting tired of feeling like a doormat. When I try and talk to him about it, he usually interrupts, cuts me off or gets angry and ends the conversation. What can I do so that he will see me as a real person?
