People always seem to act hardcore behind a computer screen or through a text message, but once confronted in person many have nothing to say. This leads to not only bullying, but much worse suicide, eating disorders, depression, etc. All because of what? someone that has something rude to say about you but the only communication you really have with them is behind a screen where they have time to analyze and come up with come backs that they could be sitting there and thinking about for hours? I have seen too many people go by day by day like this and eventually it starts to affect an aspect in my own life because everyone is becoming socially awkward and the people you talk to in person seem like nobody you actually know as soon as you communicate with them through a social networking site or even a text message.. forget a phone call, those basically do not exist anymore. I remember talking on the phone for hours with friends and family just a few years ago. Text messages were still around, they were still popular, but people still took the time to call others and have at least a voice to voice conversation. Who has ever called someone and heard "just text me its easier"? i'll be the first one to admit i do that quite often. why? i don't even really know and never thought about it until now. It just really is easier i guess.. you get time to think of how you can react to certain situations and there is never an awkward pause on the other end because well.. it's just a text message. But it has gotten much worse then that, you see people getting fired from work via emails, break ups through texts, what's next ? All because people do not want to see the others reaction, it kills whatever guilt you would actually feel which in the end results with you not really thinking about the words you say as much as you would if you actually put yourself in the others shoes.
