Social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and the new Sarahah can be fun but they also have hidden dangers. Those hidden dangers are known as "internet trolls." Internet trolls is an individual or a group of individuals who taunt and bully others behind a computer screen or phone. Cyberbullying someone may seem all fun and games in the beginning, but it can quickly turn sour. The person who is being targeted could be going through a hard time in their life, so when they are targeted, it can make that victim feel more helpless and powerless than they did before.

Take it from someone whose been through a lot in my personal life and on social media — as someone who also has depression-like symptoms and being bullied (especially over the internet). Since the things said never go away, it follows that person for the rest of their lives and if you're not careful, it can cause the targeted person to commit suicide.

As a way out, trust me, I've been in that position before. I've been bullied and cyberbullied so much, I've shut myself out from the rest of the world, The effects of cyberbullying can be dire, if you don't believe me just watch the made-for-TV movie "Cyberbully" starring Emily Osment. Trust me, it will definitely open your eyes to this cruel world we live in.

If you don't want to be responsible for an innocent soul's death, stop cyberbullying now.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
