Bullying

Bullying? What is bullying? Is it when you are enjoying one’s pain and suffering? Or is it when you are happy whenever they are sad? Bullying is not just through physical abuse. But it is also considered when you are hurting someone’s feelings.

But now a new type of bullying arose. A kind that is so powerful that it overwhelms everyone who uses it. It is bullying through the use of social media better-known as cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is when you commit a crime against a person through the use of social media. For example a person posts a picture of herself on your wall instead of coming up with a constructive comment you decide to point out what is not pleasing to you. It may not hurt you because it is not you but it may hurt the person you are pertaining to. That is what you call cyber-bullying.

Not only on social-networking sites like on facebook, twitter, and other social-networking sites but also in online games. In online games it is normal for you to get angry or frustrated at a player who is unskilled or so I dare to call It NOOBS. But let us not exploit their weakness through as they call it TRASH TALKING. Trash talking is when you verbally abuse a player in an online game. It is considered as cyber-bullying because you two are not the only players in the game there are millions of players worldwide and they can see what you are doing.

And by bullying other people we not only decrease their self-esteem you create an image of yourself. It is like you are showing what you are, what type of person you may be, it is either the constructive and helpful ones or those who feed of depression. By bullying other people we are letting them know that we too are reflections of our own actions. And we should be careful of what we are saying.
