Cyber Bullying. Everyone can make a difference.
Everywhere we look, everywhere around us, we see things which most people turn a blind-eye to. Something that makes us hide in fear, hate our lives, and even want to end it all. Something so small but can so drastically change one's whole life. Something that ruins self-esteem, ruins beautiful personalities, ruins lives.
It's a serious issue which we can all play a heroic role in to damper the pain which half of the world has been oppressed by.
You can be there for another human being, you can make a difference in their lives. Make them feel worth something again. Make them feel beautiful. Make them feel like a part of this giant but so small world.
So stand up for your neighbor and mute the noise of hate. You can make a difference. You can save a life.
Go get em' guardians!
[b]Edit: I would really like to be able to reply to everyone of you guardians and have intelligent, factual arguements, debates, and coversations. I'll reply to as many of you all as I can. However, there is a lot of you all! ;)[/b]

Just throwing this out there for some thought. I work as a Youth & Family Counselor in a mental health treatment center for teens. Most of the kids I work with come from the hospital. Most have histories of suicide ideation. Some of these kids have experienced bullying to extents that your average person couldn't even imagine. Thanks to the internet, they now get to take this bullying home with them. My issue is more with social media, namely Facebook, but I don't think a lot of things posted on these boards are okay. Cyber bullying is not okay but it seems people are not accountable to the words being typed or said online. People need to make more of an effort to keep their words appropriate and respectful online. I am not innocent myself but generally try to make an effort. Children aside, there is no reason for adults to be acting immature and using crude language even if it is a forum, game, website, or whatever that can only be accessed by adults. In conclusion, if you wouldn't say it to someone face to face then why say it online?
