Cyber-Bullying. Simple and Complex.

This sentence is easy to read. ThIs SEnTeNcE iS HArd tO rEAD. That last sentence may be annoying than hard to read. Is it really necessary for me to type it? No, it is unnecessary to type that sentence. The sentence is simple, but annoying and complex to create.

Like that sentence, I see cyber-bullying unnecessary, annoying and complex. Unnecessary because what good can come out of it? Annoying because it disrupts people's lives. Complex because it's hard to fully understand the details about bullying.

So why then, should I post about online bullying? It's because it exists and that we need to understand it. Sadly, it won't go away. Even with 'zero tolerance' policies, bullying as a whole does not disappear. When people do not know how to deal with their emotions in a healthy way, bullying seem to be the most simplest form to handle it. Heck, it seems simple enough that teens does not even think it's bullying. Instead, some may think that's its only drama. Even without the existence of the internet I can pretty much guarantee that stories like Amanda Todd appeared elsewhere in the world. The real question that should be considered is why was it blown to wide proportions? Was it because the story was tragic? Was it because that it spread through the internet like wildfire and caused immediate reactions? Or was it because humans like to gossip and spread news in general?  

To dedicate a post about cyber-bullying must mean that its a serious issue. A solution would be to ask the bully, the bullied, and anyone else involved, "How are you feeling about this?" "Why do things you choose to do?" There's no wrong answer, we have our needs. I just inherently believe that humans are born with some evil. We are all fools to sit back and do nothing but gossip and spread news online the negative aspects of life.
