In this one, I was watching a video about cyberbullying. If you do not know what cyberbullying is, first of all, you are either bless in ignorance or you don't go online that much, and I ain't judging. Secondly, I'll tell you what it means, it means to be bullied online or through social media.
Now, as usual, the reason for this post isn't because of the video, it's because of the comments. There is an argument that someone had in the comments
There have been debates left and right thanks to this one comment. I feel lukewarm about this person's statement. Yes, some are easier to get away from than others, but that isn't the cure-all solution for it. There are many stages of cyberbullying so let's tear it down to simpler parts.
The mildest form is those strangers on forums or comments who just do it because they want to, they can be avoided by the supposed go-offline tactic or you can find a different website or server with better protection.
The toughest form is the one that could haunt you forever, it's from the people around you to the people you see everyday. You can't say that is nothing compared to physical bullying . (P.S. I am not undermining their pain, I know how hard it is to go through a life without a piece of mind)
Everyone knows that the scariest form of bullying isn't physical but emotional bullying, playing on fears and insecurities is the saddest and also one of the most lethal form. Now imagine if someone, anyone has dirt on you and they find you on wherever you go, people you know or see on a daily basis can access to this dirt thanks to this someone following you, you may never being able to escape. The worst part is that you may never know who that someone is and yet he has so much control over you.
If you know someone like this, don't let them feel alone and make sure they feel they're loved because you may regret it later on if you don't do it now.
Here is something to chew on, it's one of my favorite videos
See you next time.
