So like I ended my last post about making our weaknesses
stronger, it is the same concept with how we should approach situations such as
suicide and bullying. We need to recognize it faster and make others self-aware
of this issue. You see, we try to ignore and forget about the little things
that bother us and move on and we have spread that concept too far over time.
An example would be if we are getting bullied, we are told as children to
simply ignore these kinds of things, but are we told why? Why is it that
ignoring something that can increase in magnitude depending on the person be
simply ignored? These are questions that need to be talked about in classrooms.
As high schools become more and more lenient on the devices we
are allowed to bring with us into the classroom, it allows students to be
brought in more information faster than ordinary causing more possible
problems. People tend to notice and point out problems quicker and faster
nowadays, but are parents able to acknowledge the same things our kids are
seeing in everyday school?
I know this also seems quite random but don’t worry, it all
comes together just keep reading damnit! Schools have the most power over your child’s
psychological life in my opinion. As a child, you have most of your social
interactions with others in school such as school activities, classroom
interactions, and sports. Now I am not saying we should have our parents
checking up on us using Facebook all the time, but parents should definitely
have a strong bond with their kids so that they do not feel alone, parents
should become aware of what their kids are doing, who they are talking to, and
what kind of activities they are participating in. I also believe everyone
should have a psychologist. Personally, being able to vent to someone is always
a good piece, but being able to vent to a professional about your problems and
getting advice is even better, but some people are not that fortunate to have
such help. It comes down to the parents to talking to their children and
keeping their minds healthy. But overall, none of these solutions seem to be
really needed. In fact, cyber bullying awareness is increasing just as fast as
computer advances. I hope this information was helpful and interesting to read
about. All I ask is that you keep the idea that social networking is a huge
benefit to our society because it gives us a better look into someone else’s
life, helps with security risks, and can help us get notified of others
emotional problems, allowing us to take action upon all of these things is one
less thing we have to worry about in society.
