Cyberbullying: It’s everyone’s problem
The 21st Century has seen numerous people complain about
cyberbullying which is something that isn’t thoroughly dissected within the
world. It’s not entirely sorted, since every day, someone is getting dragged
online and there’s even an audience for such inhumane behaviours. As they might
find humour in messages online that are of intimidating or threatening nature.
Posting laughing emojis, memes and even responses under cyberbullies' posts
rather than calling them out isn’t the way to go about helping the victims.
Unfortunately, it makes them feel powerless and even doubts start to creep in
their minds. Which will affect their self-esteem, mental health and influence
their decision-making skills moving forward. The crazy thing is that tomorrow
they can be on the receiving end since cyberbullies pick different victims.
Ideally, a person should pay no mind to negative individuals, as the moment you entertain them the more they get excited and they continue with their cyberbullying traits. It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind and respectful within your approach when you choose to engage with other people’s content. This might be seen as common sense, unfortunately nowadays it’s not and that’s just a pity. If we all do the basics right and not complicate each other’s lives then we wouldn’t even be addressing inhumane behaviours such as cyberbullying. It seems like as people instead of moving forward in terms of respecting each other’s opinions, and ideas, we just have this inner hatred of wanting to inflict pain on each other.

Depression...
The most common types of depression are known as:
*Clinical depression – It involves continuous melancholy moods which end up affecting your daily routine and life. Also, you become detached from certain activities whether it’s at home, work and within yourself.
*Biopolar disorder – It involves a series of mood swings that become arduous in a way that be lofty and even squad.
*Persistent depressive disorder – this is regarded as the everlasting form of depression, as it comprises low mood symptoms throughout the time.
Depression is not something that can be taken likely, even though it might be seen as a common illness within the current generation, but it’s time people get to understand depression without being judgemental. The best thing that you can do for someone with depression is to be on their side and not try too hard to be correct. Listen to what they want, then provide the best suitable solution according to what they’ve told you during their venting session or conversation. It will be easier if we’re all kind to one another, as we need each other to survive and move forward in life. We may miss a few hints about our loved ones or strangers trying to reach out to us, as they want someone to listen to them without being harsh on their unforeseen circumstances. This is a time to do better as individuals when it comes to silent killers such as depression. The moment we acknowledge that we’re all going through something personally or professionally, then we should be able to connect with another on different levels in life to find solutions.
Also, attention span differs per person, hence people are urged to take breaks in between their tough schedules. Our mental health is crucial too, therefore people should try by all means to consume healthy food, exercise and educational content that will benefit their brain too. Try by all means to protect your peace — by not dwelling on things that you can’t control. Focus on certain activities that guide you to joy and be around people that bring out the best in you.
Once you feel that you have issues with controlling your mood swings, then ideally you should consult a medical doctor, and even go to therapy. Do everything possible to cure your depression, even if it takes some time, but don’t give up on your mental health. You can reach out to people that you can trust if you want to talk and offload your challenges. At the end of the day, just know that you’re not alone.
