With so much going
on in the world, I feel that it is my journalist duty to post information that
can possibly save a life. Although, this page doesn’t really go into deep
detail on bullying, I do want to start to talk more about cultural experience as
a black woman. I have seen many situations where people; young and old, need help
and instead of getting assistance they are met with criticism. And as life
progresses, I have noticed that criticism isn’t just a in-person thing, the
internet has been made to be a gift and a curse.
The more apps developed,
and the more websites become popular the increase of people who encounter bullying
and other forms of harassment shoots through the roof. This isn’t admirable,
but it has been made trendy and acceptable. Twitter beefs, Tik Tok challenges,
Instagram photo bashing and Facebook wars sometimes lead to deaths and/or
humiliation. Sadly, it isn’t until it is too late that people decided to
connect back to the humanity, but by then we are often faced with doing car
washes to help fund a funeral cost.
I
miss the early 2000’s where advertisements on voting and wrapping up were all
over the television. I also miss hearing terms like, “stay sucka free” when
artist and rappers talked down on being a “hater” or being dumb for clout. Those
days are long gone and although, I still have hope that those times will soon
return I want to help. I might not be able save the world; however I can simply
share this information as a reference tool for those who may need it. From the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to the Rape, Sexual Assault, Abuse, and Incest National Network I hope this list is helpful. my goal is to update this as frequency as I can.
