I have wanted to write about this, but I keep forgetting until I saw a post of a lady who committed suicide because she joined a challenge on social media and people started body shaming her, saying she is too fat and doesn't have shape. Many bad things are said towards people on this media. I think she couldn't take the insults and bullying anymore, and she had to commit suicide and just end it all.
Today, I also saw a Nigerian Hollywood actress crying online because someone said she used her womb for ritual purposes for her husband. How do people think about this? How can you just come out and write anything on people's posts? If not because those people just lack love from their family. There's no way you will love yourself and get love from home and then come out to bully someone or body shame them. People can't be created; everyone is unique and beautiful in their own way. God made everyone beautiful and wonderful. Bullying someone until they're depressed, I just wish there's a way to get those people that always type hate comments on people's posts and deal with them.
If one serves as a scapegoat, maybe others will learn and change. I always say if you want to know people in this life, if you want to know their true self, check their posts, especially their comments on social media. Because I believe any hate comment on social media comes from a wicked heart.
There is this saying that if you want to succeed on social media , don't look at what people will say , but now what people will say can send someone off social media .
Social media is not for the weak; if you can't handle the bullying or take it, just stay off social media. Well, everyone has their life to live, and no one can isolate anyone because of a bad comment, and their is no doubt that content has eradicate poverty in some people lives because of the money they make on it , but those behind the comments will not change no matter how we shout.
I just hope this people can repent and change , because it's getting too much . Bullying a physical challenge person because he / she choose to do content on social media , when you don't know what can also happen to you tomorrow. God have mercy on this generation.
The only thing is, if you're not strong for the bullying, toxicity, stay off posting instead of committing suicide or going into depression. Social media is filled with a lot of normal and abnormal people. There's too much toxicity in this online space.
To prevent such incidents, individuals can practice empathy and kindness online, report bullying, and block or mute toxic users. Social media platforms should implement stricter moderation policies, improve reporting mechanisms, and promote positive content.
The bullying can cause low self esteem, it's good to take a break if the need arise and also love yourself to the extent of no one can be able to body shame you.
