It is though, to be honest i quite feel that it's not just cancer but a toxic , a toxicity that bringing all the aspects of toxic and implant on our brains you know what i'm saying, let's face the reality, the sad reality that social media can kill too though. I wish we can turn back time to those moments or era that letters exist.

It's quite sad cause instead of social media is helping or a way of sharing the journey , now it doesn't , it kill.

Totally agree on the idea of toxic instead of cancer. Cyberbullying, in all of its forms, is certainly on the rise in 2018 and will most likely retain the same trend in 2019.
Bullying is more evident for people of younger generations, and while it can be to a certain degree be controlled while they`re at school or university, it becomes extremely hard to do something about bullying on the web. People feel that computer screen makes them invincible so they go all out on attacking others. It is the matter of lack of education and socio-cultural concepts, the toxicity problem should be addressed on the stage long before web - in schools and during upbringing.

I feel that yes, bullying is one problem, but the other problem is that kids (well, lets be honest, not only kids) generate their self-worth relying on social media and their followers often leading to depression when their fellow classmates and friends have far more followers and likes on social media platforms.

What is even worse is that now when having a YouTube channel and being sort of a YouTube celebrity is also popular among kids and often 14-15 year olds have quite a big fanbase, they are not quite there to ponder on what they are really saying. Often topics like "shcool sucks, why do we even need it" or "I hate my teacher" are being discussed and other kids who have created role models out of personals take up the same attitude...

What I want to say here is that all of this both bullying and sort of putting yourself out there should maybe be more up for discussion and maybe even handled and discussed at an early age what consequences all of these things might have. Maybe if kids grow up with understanding what harm all of this might cause they will be more cautious with what they are doing and saying.
