Further, in the same conversation, Sunny mentioned that she was only 19-20 years old. Thus, she felt an absence of a guide in her life and elaborated more about her first encounter with the trolls. She explained:

“When I got those letters, I was 19-20 and when you are 19-20 there’s a lot of things that affect you in a certain way that would never affect me now and you just don’t know. And I was alone so it wasn’t like I had someone to guide me, or speak to about these things saying ‘it’s okay, relax, don’t worry about haters, there are so many out there’. That was my first encounter with trolls and people talking all sorts of bad things."
