Twitter

Twitter is an online social networking that enables users to send and read short messages called tweets. Twitter was created in March 2006 and launched July 2006. The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with more than 100 million users who in 2013 posted 340 million tweets per day. Sounds like a very successful network without any negativity, however there is. This is like ying and yang. There's a bit of bad in the good. Many users misuse twitter in a way that becomes offensive and illegal.The comments that were directed to TCDSB and the TDSB were later than targeted at the reporter that was doing a report on the story. This is totally inappropriate behaviour from teens.

Being a twitter user myself, I've seen first hand about these mean twitters directed at fellow classmates. This is cyber-bullying. It is actually a bigger issue than it really is. Such as the Amanda Todd case who dramatically took her life because of all the mean and disgusting things teens were saying to her. There has been plenty of cases that has been affected by cyber-bullying however they only come to attention when something very dramatic happens.

Words hurt and they can't be taken back especially it's on the internet. Will this ever stop? In my opinion, no. I don't think so for there will always be someone saying something negative about you. It will never go away. However, the things that are said they only matter to you if you care about it. A good resolution is to ignore them for if they say it online and ignore you in person, they aren't serious about the things that were said. The people that say these things just feel more powerful behind a screen. I don't think that that there should be laws and Twitter doesn't need to checked/governed. However there are ways people have been preventing from these things from happening such as the help prevent cyber-bulling website. Cyber-bulling is a serious issue that we the future generation must try to eliminate it by learning if you nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all.
