“Oh to be…”

A 15-year-old girl is brain dead after taking part in the Benadryl Challenge. All Leah Presson of Oklahoma City wanted was to become a TikTok sensation, just like the countless social media influencers raking in big money for all sorts of short videos for audiences to consume.

 

And if you have not heard of Margo’s Got Money Troubles series, it’s all about a young college dropout trying to survive single motherhood and financial woes by starting an OnlyFans account. As Margo gained popularity, her income also increased. But her “job” has negatively impacted her family, friendships and, most of all, her child, as she ends up in a custody battle. 

 

Fame. Wealth. No matter the reason for chasing after them, there is a future accounting. Leah is famous today as the brain-dead girl who did the Benadryl Challenge. Margo, though fictitious, will probably hide this part of her life, especially from her child as he grows up, because of shame. So, enough about desiring fame and wealth! “Godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6).

Chasing fame and wealth always calls for self-examination
