A Matter of Opinion

As of late, cyber bullying has become a topic of some controversy. Several teenagers have resorted to ending their lives as a result of others harassing them over the internet. One case in particular that received much attention was that of a young thirteen year old girl who committed suicide after receiving a message from a woman saying that the world would be better off without her. Now, perhaps I am being insensitive, but doesn't it seem rather irrational for someone to commit suicide after receiving a malicious comment from one person, mind you, a person they didn't even know? I realize that such comments can bruise one's feelings, and I sympathize with those whom experience severe chagrin when under a constant barrage of hate, but I believe that all this should motivate a person to be better, to be stronger. Henry David Thoreau once said, “It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate." What others may say or think of you should not matter to you, for once you believe it, it will have become true, thus sealing your fate. This life is yours to lead; do not let others decide what is to become of you.

  2. this quote is a meaning of keep going on straight not matter what. you always have to look forward. you always have to keep going on the right path because you never know what mite happen to us if we don't stay on the right path. you always have to think that you can and that you can achieve greatness. you always have to visualize that you can accomplish many great things. that's some of us are really like a horse we always keep going straight no matter what.

  4. What I think about this is that it is true. We can let people tell us what we are or who we are we choose who we are. I also believe that we should not listen to people who try to discourage us but ignore. We are the ones who decide who we are. That is what I think about this statement.

  5. I agree with what Julio says. Lately it has become a big problem but i really think that people shouldnt pay much attention to it, i mean if they didnt have the courage enough to say it in person then im pretty sure theyre not worth it. Specially those peopl that you dont even know so i really think that is a problem but all you have to do is ignore it and if it really gets out of controll it should be reported.

  6. This is really true lately this been happening to young teens on the internet.Well i think todays teens start getting depress at a early age.Well, some teens get depress.Some can't cope with problems at school and at home.And thats why i think the kids should'nt use the internet to chat with random people.They might think they can help them with thier problems.But, their some cruel people on those chat room.Its always good to keep an eye on those young teens.You well never know what might happen.

  7. I THINK HE MAKES A VERY GOOD POINT BECAUSE LATELY I BEEN HEARING ABOUT SITUATIONS LIKE THIS TO. ABOUT HOW GIRLS OR BOYS THAT HAVE COMMIT SUICIDE JUST BECAUSE OF SOMEONE HARASSING THEM OVER THE INTERNET. THE ONE THAT DECIDES WHO YOU ARE IS YOURSELF NO ONE ELSE. YOU HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE. SO ACHIEVE AND BE SUCCESSFUL AND DONT LET ANYONE DETERMINE YOUR FAITH. DO IT YOURSELF.

  8. I think this is a great topic to discuss because this coming very common now. Honestly, in my opinion this is pretty dumb to commit suicide just because someone doesn't like you, specially if you don't even know the person telling you things. Come on this is cyber bulling we're taking about you can easily delete the messages, block them, or just simply turn it off, it would be more rational if their all in your face all the time and you can't get away from it but cyber bulling is just something that you can easily get away from...

  9. I THINK THAT IT'S A SHAME THAT SOME PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE THEIR LIFE OUT JUST BECAUSE OF A MEAN PERSON MAKING FUN OF THEM. THAT IS NO WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE YOU HAVE BLOCK OUT THOSE E MAILS. THAT IS THE PROBLEM THAT YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHEN TO READ SOMETHING AND TALE IT PERSONAL AND WHEN NOT TO TAKE IT PERSONAL. YOU HAVE KNOW THAT THEIR ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO FUN OF YOU BUT JUST LOOK THE OTHER WAY TO GIVE THEM THE SATISFACTION THAT THEY HAVE HURT YOU. FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TAKEN THEIR LIFE AWAY JUST FOR A PERSON MAKING FUN OF THEM THEY. YOU DID NOT DESERVE THAT YOU DESERVED A LIFE OF YOUR OWN TO MAKE FRIEND AND MEET NEW PEOPLE AND DON'T LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE THAT TELL YOU THE OPPOSITE. EVERY ONE DESERVES BETTER THEN SOMEONE BEING BULLED BY ANOTHER PERSON.

  10. I THINK THAT YOU SHOULDN'T LET NO ONE BRING DOWN YOUR EMOTIONS. DON'T LISTEN TO PEOPLE THAT YOU DONT KNOW. ALWAYS DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO DO AT LONGEST YOU ARE CHOOSING THE RIGHT. DONT FOLLOW OR LISTEN TO STRANGERS THAT YOU DONT KNOW. ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RIGHT AND DO WHAT GOOD.DONT LET OTHERS CHOOSE YOUR DECISIONS.

  11. I agree, you should never let anyone bring your hopes down. No matter what happens. Like i always say move forward, and never look back. Never listen to what people tell you. Most of them are just there to harm you.

  12. I agreed with Julio because i heard of this in the internet about a little girl that killed her self for some message. I guess the woman that told the little girl to kill herself does not have no life at all, thats a person that does not choose the right at all. well what Julio you decide what your going to do. CTR!

  13. i really agree with Julio because this is your life and you shouldn't let anyone decide anything for you and also never listen to people about what they say about you as long as you know who you really are. it's not about what other people say or think about you...daisy pd2

  14. DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHAT IS A GOOD FRIEND FOR YOU. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THEM DO NOT TALK TO THEM. IF YOU HAVE DREAMS KEEP YOUR DREAMS GOING. DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOUR DREAMS IS DUM. BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE.

  15. I think that people that receive those kind of messages should just ignore them. If they don't ignore them it could lead them to commit suicide. Teenagers that receive messages like that should report them immediately. You should not let no one bring down your emotions like that. CTR.

  16. Cyberspace jokers are bad but it is the person who belives them that makes them even bader.By beliving them they end up doing what they say.They shoun't care what others think pf them.Espeacially since they don't know them.If you don't know them then why listen to them because they probably don't know you.It's just a game to others and if you play with them then you are screwed.

  17. CYBER BULLYING IS WRONG. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WORTHLESS OR HOPELESS. IF YOU WORK HARD YOU'RE SUCCESS WILL COME. JUST IGNORE THE COMMENT THEY MADE ABOUT YOU AND JUST DO YOUR WORK. JUST CHOOSE THE RIGHT AND IT WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR DREAMS. REMEMBER "STICK AND STONES WON'T BREAK MY BONES". NELSON PER.2
