Social Networking is killing

I don’ t watch as much news as I used to many years ago so I haven’t heard of many young people committing suicide or any of the cases that was mentioned in this chapter. I haven’t even heard of the TV show “To Catch a Predator” but I like how people are watching it and it’s spreading awareness to these things that are happening. Hopefully some of the potential predators may change their minds as well about doing anything with young kids online if they are watching. Not only was that sad to read about, but also how cyberbullying is causing these teens/children to comment suicide. When I first started using social media in middle school I could see how most people would like to share more negative comments than positive. I think it’s because they think they are saying these things in a joking matter but over text through a screen the person that is reading the joking comment may take it as being a serious thing being said. I also think that it’s bad enough that students have to be bullied at school but then in this newer generation of growing up with media the bullying is being carried on to their home where they reconnect with these people that have nothing positive to say to them. I remember watching a documentary on Netflix a few years ago about cyberbullying or just bullying in general and I feel that people are trying to help but not enough people are caring about what is going on to help young people stop bullying each other. It’s like people care for a while but then they forget all about the problem.
