Recently, social media has become an increasing problem with tons of bullying and exploiting of teenagers.

Teens think that openly making fun of someone on the internet for everyone to see and gossip about is funny, and it’s disgusting.

People seem to have no problem with being so cruel to their peers, especially if the posts remain anonymous.

If you have the guts to type something anonymously then you should at least have the guts to tell them it to their or face, or even better, at least letting them know who it is making fun of them.

Releasing inappropriate pictures, making up rumors and bullying someone on the internet is NOT FUNNY, and I will never be able to understand how a person could be so cold hearted and cruel. You may think that its hilarious but it sure isn’t to the person that you are talking about. When did exploiting people your own age become funny?

If you were the one in this situation and people were sending out private pictures of you that you took in a moment of weakness, or regret even taking, you wouldn’t be okay with it.

If everyone was talking about you on an app, how would that make you feel? Everyone that’s doing this needs to take a step back and put yourselves in their shoes before you post something that may not even be true about someone.

Possibly ruining someone’s life isn’t funny. Stuff that is put on the internet never goes away, and even if it did, people are not going to forget about what was said. The person that you were making fun of or making rumors about will always be seen as “that” person.

IT. IS. NOT. OKAY.

For anyone who doesn’t think that this is serious, saying some of these things can cause so many problems for the person you are saying it about.

What you’re saying can potentially cause depression, a bad self image, even more bullying and other things.

Apps and social media sites that promote this kind of stuff shouldn’t even be made in the first place, and have serious consequences.

It’s straight up harassment that can end up with you having criminal charges against you, anonymous or not. Is a stupid app or post worth all of that to you?

Why is it so hard to not say anything mean about someone, or better yet, just keep your mouth shut in the first place?

This isn’t rocket science or a hard concept to understand. Don’t say negative things about innocent people that have done nothing to deserve this.

It’s disgusting that people can be this mean, and people need to start standing up and putting a stop to this because it’s not going to go away until enough people do.

For the sake of yourself, and more importantly others, think about what you’re doing or saying before you do it.
