Online trolling can be seen as a world wide problem that happens to a variety of different people. It is constantly and commonly seen in social media whether it is just "jokes and laughs" or much more serious stuff. These trolls hide behind a computer screen searching and waiting for a situation they can manipulate and prey on for their own amusement.

  1. Hi Alana, I agree with you 100%. It’s extremely hard to just completely avoid comments about you when it’s directly talking about you. I’m not a confrontational person, so if someone was directly trolling me, I probably wouldn’t say anything, I’d most likely cry, haha, but it would definitely effect me and the way I would feel about myself. People always say not to let words hurt, but words are EXTREMELY powerful and they can do so much damage to a person and a way that a person feels about themselves and so much more. Therefore, I agree with what you said!

  2. Hey Alana, I agree with what you’re saying about trolling and how hard it is to ignore, but there are ways that I believe can work when it comes to receiving those hateful comments. You just have to keep in mind that these people don’t know who you are. They don’t know your life and are only there for their own satisfaction. Their power comes from when you give them the attention they seek. It can be extremely difficult to ignore it, but you have to realize that you are above them, and that they will never see who you truly are.
