Hey People,
Recently I have heard about , through social media, of course, about the sad and untimely demise of a certain Amanda Todd, who committed suicide , after a long and hard battle against bullying.
She was cyber bullied as well as physically and mentally. In the end, it was too much for her and she took her life.
It really is a sad story.
But the villain here , after all , is bullying. Or is it?
Through her story, its pretty much clear that she led herself to this trap. And don't take me wrong, I'm not saying what the man did to her was any thing heroic or saint like. He was a demon and will still be.
Bullying is just torture.You never want to go through that, nor will you ever want your kids to go through it.
Bullying in school is physical and can be stopped or controlled up to a certain extent by teachers and parents.
But when it comes to cyber bullying , all those rules don't apply. Everyone wants privacy, to the extent that family members hide details from each other. Everyone is in the privacy of their own log -in ID and password, that they think its possible for them to do anything.
I could now tell you how to stay safe in the cyber world, but that, my friends is for the professionals. Search in Google and you will find thousands of professionals just wanting to come to your help. But it's a craft that has to be learned by our own, I say. And it mostly takes only common sense, the same sense that we use in our day to day lives.
Could it be that social networking websites are actually becoming a place where a person could easily be taken advantage of? You can hear about it in the news about children being taken advantage of and being bullied, could it be that, social networking sites are actually having a negative impact on human life , than a positive impact,it should have.
After all, it does help to connect people.
Food for though readers, food for thought.
R.I.P Amanda Michelle Todd, may your family and friends be finally able to come to terms with your loss.
