came from /adv/, fuck it

So me and my friend are writing a story about an apocalypse from the view of a teenager. Thing is I do not have a good excuse for a teenager in 2023 writing or recording an event in the first place (story is told from a first person perspective like blog). Realism is very important in this stroy and talking to my younger family and a discord teenage friend the concept of a diary is alien to them. Twitter is the most they'll dwell into when it comes to introspection but they dont go in dept into it, and blogging (from what i gather) is outdated.

I'm writing purely for fun and to kill time since i need a hobby. Thing is I have the story mapped out and I know where i'm going with it, but i just don't have a good excuse for a teenager to write or voice the events that are happening in the beginning of the apocalypse / shtf in order for the story to start in the first place.

I plan on one of my younger relatives to voice over my story and read it out as a voice recording with editing, i have the story i just don't have the excuse. I want the voice recording to be normal, something that seems realistic and not cheesy in 2023 at first but transition into something serious which will be the vehicle of my story.
