Scrolling for Dopamine: My AP Psych Social Media Addiction

A student's AP Psychology project becomes a personal reckoning when she uses behavioral science to expose why she can't resist the infinite scroll—and discovers the algorithms rewiring her brain.

About

Maya's classmate and close friend who often sends her the funny videos and messages that trigger her dopamine hits, unintentionally fueling her distraction.

Appearance

Liam has a perpetually rumpled look, often seen in slightly oversized hoodies and jeans with frayed cuffs. His dark, curly hair is always a bit of a mess, falling over a pair of thick-rimmed glasses that frame quick, observant eyes. A smudge of ink on his cheek or an extra stylus tucked behind his ear is a common sight, betraying his habit of tinkering with digital art between classes.
