Buzzfeed recently uploaded a  video talking about women on the internet. It explains how  women are targeted by men who hide behind computer screens.

Many women have grown to accept this trolling criticism from the men, but what about high schoolers?

We grew up it the internet age with new laptops and phones coming out almost every month. We have learned to use these toys since we were young. But now that teens are gaining more followers on social media, we are also gaining the hate that follows with it.

New apps — which I will not name so as not to give them any credence or promotion — allow students to anonymously post stories about students. Anyone can post anything, and truth is not a prerequisite.

Some males have used these apps to post untrue things about females that are not true and can be hurtful and reputation-ruining.

Male trolls use other social media platforms, even basic, accepted ones such as Twitter, to target women.

These trolls target women based on how they look, dress and act — even if none of it is true.  

It doesn’t have to come to this.

Women should not have to feel threatened by every time they log on.

Women have always had to fight for their rights, and now the fight has moved digital.
