What To Do When You Are Offended On Facebook

Why are we becoming so sensitive now a days? It seems like the littlest thing will set someone off. I've seen people post innocent jokes on Facebook that has no intent on hurting anyone and it sparked an argument that lead to threats. What is the need for that? I am convinced everyone just gets on to Facebook now just to argue and be offended by everything.

It seems like everything has to be about race and gender now. I'm not here to argue but there are certainly problems regarding the two, but not every single little thing should be about that. If you live that way you will never be happy. You'll constantly feel like you're walking on eggshells or constantly feel offended by everything. My advice? RELAX. If you're constantly offended by things online, take a deep breath, close the app or webpage. It's that simple. If a person constantly harasses you, block that person. There is no need to let something so small, that doesn't effect you, ruin your day. It also doesn't hurt to do research on things before you lose your cool over something. It keeps you informed and not looking like an idiot.

A another thing I've seen on Facebook is that my friends or family will share or post something things that pretty much say how tough they are and nothing offends them. But if you share anything that goes against their political view or view of the world....they suddenly change from tough to offended. Again like I said earlier if something truly offends you online BLOCK IT. It is really not that hard. And if you have a family member that constantly shares and posts things that you don't like, delete as a friend on there and send them a friend request when election season is over.

Don't let your distant relative, that friend you barely talk to, or that guy you work with offend you by their post on Facebook.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
