When most people think of social networks they think of Facebook and talking to friends and family from all over. Then again most people don’t think of the negative talk on social sites. I believe that people shouldn’t talk about negative or hurtful things on these sites. Friends turn on friends and post horrible and threatening things on these sites. I understand that people get hurt and want to speak up and have a voice but they don’t need to do it where thousands of people can see it every day. Other people get hurt other than the person the things are meant for and these things will never leave that site no matter how much you want it to go away it will always exist on the internet after you put it on there. People need to think before they do anything drastic.

I think that those who post hurtful things on social sites are people who are weak and scared, they don’t want to confront the person with the problem they are having with them, they choose to share with the world what they think, which is horrible. These sites were made for people to share things with their friends and family. It is supposed to be a friendly way of talking to those you love and don’t get to talk to very much.

Someday these things may not exist because the government may choose to shut them all down because people end up hurting themselves or ending their lives because of the horrible things people put on these sites. These are teens and young adults that couldn’t stand the hurtful post and messages and they ended up choosing to not have to deal with anyone saying horrible things. Their way of doing this was by ending their lives. It’s a horrible way to die.

There are others who are strong enough to not go that far but they end up depressed just like the other victims. Those who are victims may never get over the negative statements said on these sites. Some people may not even be able to get good jobs because some jobs look at their social sites to see what kind of person the applicant is. Why would someone write something horrible that they may regret later; Because they wrote it in the heat of the moment? These horrible things being posted on social sites ruin people’s lives. Most people know they can get kick off the social networks but they still choose to say horrible things. It amuses some people, but it’s just wrong. People shouldn’t be saying horrible things on these sites.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, just stay off social networks.
