Wow, so day 2 already.. Where do I start?
I have been watching quit a-lot of videos on youtube the past few days and kept coming back to the Jonah Mowry's video.. As I was watching his video again, I started noticing video responses and got interested. As I started clicking on them, I noticed that most of the responses were of others sharing stories of struggles and others offering a piece of mind (and love)..
It really made my heart smile, knowing that so many people were out there commenting words of encouragement but it also made my heart frown when I realized how many video responses were posted of others sharing sad stories.. :(
Is that what this world has come to?
Probably 80% of the population has been through or are going through the same things as this boy Jonah or worse I am sure.. It makes me sad to know that I have an almost 4 year old who will be starting school soon, knowing that she will also have to go through school years and potentially have to deal with the same things as those in the video responses.
I wasn't one of the "popular" kids in school, but some how I made it through. Honestly, I really have no idea how I made it through a year of school let alone years of it.. It just really makes me sad to even think of all those kids going through what I went through, what Jonah or any of the other video response makers are going through or have gone through..
I'm not all to sure, where I was going with this blog posts.. But really, it just seriously makes me sad that there are so many kids out there that feel this way **Photo below** ...
All I can do, is pray for those who are going through this or have gone through it and hope that they see the light at the end of the tunnel.. Be brave, be strong... Share your story, don't be ashamed.. Your story may be just the one that will help someone else out, it may be the one to help someone else understand THEY ARE NOT ALONE... THEY ARE LOVED.... THEY MEAN SOMETHING...
The other day I was messing around on Netflix and came across and watched the movie "cyberbully" which basically tells a story about a girl who gets bullied on a social networking site, much like Facebook.
This didn't start like you think it would, it wasn't because of some argument or because this girl posted something cruel about another person. No one stole someone's prom date, or made a nasty joke about something that was meant to be private.
It started when this girls brother decided to hack into her account and make a little post about her being a naughty girl and needing to be spanked.. Horrible, I know!!!
Well that lead to a LOT of rude, disturbing and down right uncalled for comments under the post. By the time this poor girl even saw the post, it was pretty viral around her school already.. So even though she deleted the post, there was more to come that following Monday..
Even though later on that day she found out it had been her brother who posted it, it was sadly to late.
This eventually lead to one of her supposed best friends, making a fake account and posing as a guy who was interested in her. Which in turn lead the "guy" to post nasty rumors online about how they had slept together, and she got nude for money etc.
See how, a little joke can lead to a HUGE issue??
It got so bad for this poor girl, that eventually she thought the only way out.... Was suicide.. She posted a video response online, telling everyone that she was basically tired of trying etc. and that she to hated herself..
In the end the girl overcame this... Her and her mom eventually went to try to get something done to make cyberbullying a crime... YAY!!!
