People Are Just Too Sensitive

There's been some controversy on whether hateful tweets or comments on social media should be a concern to society and and be closely inspected or permanently stopped. I think this topic is becoming a much bigger deal than it actually is. No one is making threats, it's just a plain old joke. And even if it isn't, a person isn't going to get hurt unless they allow something as stupid as a tweet to hurt them. I think everyone needs to toughen up and stop being cry babies.

If it wasn't already obvious, we live in a flawed world. We were all born with imperfections, and it's always going to be like that, (not unless aliens conquer the world and brainwash us into emotionless robots) whether you like it or not. There are always going to be people out there that hate you, it's inevitable! Like the famous quote, "Trying to please EVERYONE is a recipe for stress, misery and frustration. Be yourself. -Unknown" (maybe it's not so famous)... The point is, there's always going to be someone out there that's going to hate you. Sure on twitter, the way people lash out at each other could be brutal, but let's not forget, there's SO much more social media sites out there besides twitter. Are we really going to ban them all because of hate tweets? Just ignore it! If you can't, block them. Taking the social media sites off the web isn't going to do anything. It'll change from web, to phone, to life. We're going to take out phones and life too!? I think people need to just suck it up and deal with it, because there's SO much we could do about it. It'll only affect you if you allow it to. Be strong and live a hatred free life by just filtering out yourself. Dude said you're ugly? Who cares, you know beautiful inside and out. Maybe he needs a self check, after all, he looks like an asscrack anyways.

Don't Be Such a Softie

So I understand that the standard and most used form of discipline is to physically hit. Getting hit is uncomfortable, so this makes a kid realize that what they did was wrong, and that they wont do it again, so they can avoid this uncomfortable feeling. This is why I too, understand embarrassment on social media, to why people will do things online to embarrass their child as punishment. Before I elaborate, let me get one thing straight. There will be a type of punishment that will not work on certain people. Different people have different toleration levels and some can take the physical blow of a parent or guardian. Therefore that's why it is understandable that some people use social media to discipline their child. Some kids do care about how people see them and what goes on about them on the internet, so sometimes something as embarrassing will scar a child and make sure they understand not to do trouble again. I feel the same about the haircut. Sometimes mild punishments don't do anything. It'll happen and waste your time. Therefore, when people do these major punishments, it'll have a more long lasting effect, and only minimal work will have to be put in my the parent.
