TYPE. READ. THINK (100x). CLICK
"With great power, comes great responsibility", says Spiderman. The power of social media, needs great responsibility. Having social media sites is fun, BUT dangerous. Why? Because of one single mistake, clicking without thinking of the possibilities may ruin your life, maybe, Forever. Believe me, many are suffering from problems like this, you don't believe me? Well then, let me tell you this...
Yes! Welcome to reality because THIS IS REALITY. This is not a dream or a computer program where you can just "Ctrl + Alt + Del" or "Ctrl + Z" or whatsoever. Many people are carrying this dilemma wherever they go. What dilemmas? Here is an example of it.
Cyber bullying
Many "pre-teens" or teens are experiencing dilemma, wherein they saw something, have some insights about, and post the things they want to say- since this is a free country, they can do what they want. They just post something or comment about it if they feel like giving their own opinion, but some are way to hard. Some kids say inappropriate words to the other one, and then start the argumentative fight, hate each other and so on. Same thing every time. Another side of this, well, to be honest, Attention-seeking, of course, almost all of us wants attention but for others, sometimes, it is too much. Some of them are like posting photos of them and saying, "Omg, I'm so ugly", I mean like, why did you post that photo if you think you are ugly anyway, and the others were like, "No honey, you're so pretty" or "No! You're not ugly, you're gorgeous". Its okay to post "selfies" and fish for compliments, but everything has a limit. Let me repeat, EVERYTHING HAS A LIMIT. An example of this is the story of a girl named Acacia Clark. You know her? Well, she is an Instagram and Tumblr famous. Before, she was a sweet, innocent and loving tumblr girl, but now, some people say that she's a (sorry for the words) whore, slut, nude queen, bitch and any harsh words that they can think of.
Those harsh words and hate started when she was starting to get famous in Tumblr. She had a boyfriend, who is also a "tumblr guy", other say that Acacia is using this guy to get fame. So, as time goes by, she became more famous than the guy. Suddenly, this two "love birds" broke up, well, I don't know the reason. They say that its because Acacia isn't satisfied with the guys fame or something like that. Weeks after, nude photos of Acacia is everywhere, her kitties (Acacia-loving people) are defending her and saying "No! That's photoshopped" or whatsoever. They say that Acacia sent those nudes to the guy when they were still together. Well then, it seems like Acacia did not think of "Think before you Click". (I'm not hating on Acacia, I just used it as an example, and these are just my opinion)
Weeks after that incident, hatred was still there. Some random people are creating hate pages about Acacia, but still, Acacia's Kitties stands out, but it seems like those Kitties are not welcome to be one if they are fat, ugly and so on. They say that Acacia sometimes comment on their photos saying "Go kill yourself" or "You're so fat". Ohh. That's personal, and harsh! Well some of those kitties, actually tried to kill themselves and some of them doesn't want to eat anymore so that they become skinny like Acacia and whatsoever.
So, guys & gals, did you get what I mean? The lesson here is that a single click and mistake can actually ruin your life forever. What if that person whom you said was suffering from a disease wherein that is the result of having it. "You know my name, not my story. You know what I've done, not what I've been through", cliche? Yes, it is cliche but it is true and it almost applies to everyone.
If don't have something good to say, you might as well keep it. Or if you can't keep it, just say it to them in a very nice way. :)
