Soical Media Ruins Lives

...

Bullying has been around since life has begun. Even animals bully other animals it is somewhat a way of life. However “good” bullying is how one learns their place in society in animals; but, in humans we function a little differently we learn our place according to the amount of money we have in the home and material things we visualize wealth with fancy or nice stuff thus tell one that doesn’t have a beamer he is poorer than the other. When it comes to bullying I think a little teasing is ok it does teach one how to stand up for themselves and speak their mind however when it comes to just plain being mean to someone because of something out of their control and going on so long about it that it causes one to contemplate suicide or even to go to the point of committing suicide is disgusting. Ways as adults or even as other teens we could help stop bullying is to stand up for each other.

Conclusion

When it comes to bullying it can be detrimental. All thought no all teens will commit suicide; but some will. According to depression studies people will look for a way to cope with their depression some find that medication helps other that meditation or something of the like helps. However, there are some that will self-harm giving the a false since of control, this type of cope can be life taking in many cases as people tend to need to control more and more. All though not everyone seeks out a coping mechanism and they bottle it all inside and live day by day with some better than others. Teens do not know how nor have they learned how to manage their emotions or the hormones that go with these such strong emotions. Something as little as rejection alone can cause a teen to feel useless or worthless or not good enough. Getting a bad grade can spike the emotions of not being good enough of failure in life. As parents we should be helping our teens understand their emotions and how to manage these emotions. Talking with your teen is important, making sure that social media isn’t taking their life away so to speak. Always keep an open door, open mind when it comes to your teen; and remember you went through this to but cyber bullying is worse.
