Over the last year I have learned a lot about the internet...not everything - I don't think anyone knows that. The haters, the fandoms and the different webpages. I recently read Girl Online by Zoe Sugg and it made me realise how quickly something can go from being private to going viral. I know it's not a true story but it makes you understand actually how big the world wide web is.
Then there is the hate which is a totally different story. Some people just feel the need to make other people sad and unhappy. Hate is a thing that is all over the internet even if it is hidden away in a comment on youtube or a small tweet on twitter. Little things can make a huge impact. Nobody is perfect, everyone should know that.
You may feel angry or annoyed at someone but is posting something against them making you feel any better? Imagine that was you receiving that hate. How could it effect you? Would you feel that everyone is against you? Would you feel less confident? It certainly won't make you feel any better. Hate is better when it is unsaid. If you don't like a certain person, don't read their tweets, don't watch their videos, don't look at their pictures. If hate wasn't around the internet would be a lot nicer and saver environment. People would be able to use it to entertain, educate, a place to be happy and meet new people.
Don't let the number of likes you get on Instagram or Facebook bring you down, do whatever makes you the happiest. There is more to everyone than just likes on a webpage. Next time you feel the need to express your negative thoughts towards someone on the internet just remember that it could hurt them. It could make them unhappy and they could loose confidence. These people could be making a lot of other people happy so don't stop them. Just think before posting anything online. Once online; everyone can view it. It's up to you, your choice.
I know this is a lot different to my usual posts but I just feel this needs to be said. This post wasn't telling anyone off, it was just to make people realise.
