KDIGGZ Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I didn't know who this was so I read through the comments. I guess people were mean to him and drove him off of social media and then he ended his own life. Incredibly sad to read that especially when there's kids involved. Absolutely heartbreaking.

It's no different than bullying ever was. We have just taught kids that sticks and stones, and words and names all hurt the same. Dude needed help beyond online bullies. That's a cop out absolving him of his decision 4 minutes ago, BUFFALOBART said: You are fortunate that you do not walk, in the Shoes of Despair. You are fortunate your opinion matters no less or more than my opinion of yours. See how that works? Especially walking in blind to such a presumptuous statement 🤘🤘🤘 Edit. Also because you deserve snark... That comma of yours... Are you saying that I do not walk? And then you say the shoes of despair? Is this a title to a book? What does it have to do with my ability to walk? I am fortunate to walk in the education of being capable of language I guess Edited May 21, 2023 by boyst 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fortunate to walk in the education of being capable of language I guess It is 100% different than bullying used to be. People can’t escape cyber bullying. Imagine a kid being bullied in school. He/She at least gets a reprieve when they go home. Now they go home and see social media discourse & Tik Tok’s making fun of them from classmates. 1 1 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also the implication that mere words are trivial, whereas sticks and stones really hurt. We've created a savage world that is belied by technological sophistication. And really, what heartless contempt for some to simply dismiss the fella. Who knows what all is behind it, but at minimum perhaps don't rush to judgment and go spouting off. If you can't show any instinctive care, maybe try the reserve of silence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of those devices have a power button and those have to use etc can be limited.

Since my statement that this guy was a jerk attracted these statements, the truth is yes you are correct. There is a lot going on in this world that is causing mental health issues. Social media is a big part of it. It is is a tragedy which strikes men. there are a lot of issues which surround that definition these days and just what it means to be successful as a man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
