RE: Psychology Addict # 38 | Social Media – What is Your Cue to Stop?
I've seen many victims of cyberbullying that ended up committing suicide. Cyberbullying should be a crime. But how do you track the faceless trolls? I always ignore the troll, just like the warning , I don't feed 'em:)
A case in point is the girl in this video (an attempt at exposing the materialistic behaviour of some people) that goes by the stage name, Anne Frank, due to her striking resemblance to real Anne Frank. Her real name was Kate Yelkovan. She had an improper relationship with a much older male who posted inappropriate videos and images of them online. The boyfriend was arrested currently serving a sentence. She was heavily bullied online. Kate later committed suicide on May 22nd 2018. More details of the sad tale can be found here
Oh! What a story Green. The poor girl :( She looks so naive in that first video ... Well, thank you for sharing this information here. It is sad, but like stated in the last video you shared, there is a huge need to raise awareness about this.
Thank you Green! :*
I have learned never to make fun of people. The awareness is important, I think more people, especially young adults, should be aware that behind the fancy or weird username is a person with real feelings and emotions. I'm from a nation where a lot of people suffer, and smile while at it. Some of us may have developed a thick skin in the process due to the environment we come from, but that is not an excuse to bully anyone whether online or offline. I tend to ignore anyone online that I sense to be a bully, some of them have much worse life and only feel good if they can drag anyone to their miserable level, which is a really sad thing to witness.
This is a wonderful comment Green. You touched on so many aspects of the online and offline world.
Thank you. We are the one to make here a better place.
I agreed with you!
That event is actually recent. So sad. Freaking idiot. May he rot in jail.
