We live in a very scary generation. This generation has the greatest tool to help people but also to hurt people. The internet. There are a lot of helpful people in the world and a lot of good things on the internet. But, unfortunately, there are a lot of evil people and bad things on the internet as well. People aren’t afraid to say anything on the internet. They are quick to judge and insult people, tell people that they are wasting their time and they won’t amount to anything. It is a very scary time for individuals online.
My main concern with the cyber bullying that goes on is for the younger kids. The younger kids that are very vulnerable. Even young adults who have low self esteem that just happen to run into these people that think it is fun to insult people or tell people that they don’t have a chance. They are bitter and hurtful. You never know who you are talking to online or in comment sections, so please talk to people in a positive manner. Don’t be the ones that gives someone a reason to give up their dream that turns their hopes into tears.
People are very passionate but fragile. They want things in life, they want to be successful. I want to be successful. You want to be successful. How would it be fair to tell people they can’t achieve something because you had a bad day or you just want to “have fun”. Lately, I have been very vocal online. I’ve been reassuring people and giving them positive reinforcement. I let them know that if they keep on working towards their goal that they can do it.
If you see people being negative, do not insult them either. Because that doesn’t help anyone. Keep everything you say positive. And be positive towards the person that was being bullied. There is a lot of things people can do in this world still to make it better. We each can help them get there and we can help the world to become better with positive attitudes. Just let people know you care, you believe in them, and that they are not alone.
