Hidden feelings appears on the internet.

Suddenly (july 28th) it came to my mind to write about this, influential persons such as writers, psychologists, actors, 'youtubers', and any other popular person in the media you could have in mind. However I'd like to give my point of view about it. 

As a kid I used to watch too much TV, especially cartoons from Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Jetix (known before as Fox Kids) and so on, until many of them decided to make radical changes which I disliked and stopped watching those channels. I mention this because after watching the same cartoons again with a different perspective, I notice some of them clearly expose many realities and one of the most common I found was bullying.

Have you realized that some plots of television series have characters which have several moments where are object of bullying? Also, there are episodes where they talk mainly about the past of the protagonist which suffered a not healthy treatment by one or several people. But not necessarily the protagonist have to be the victim in such series to notice it.

Usually the writers, screenwriters, directors, actors and many more reach to an agreement in making series or episodes focused or slightly focused in bullying because is something that identifies a very big part of the population  —including myself—  but many of us decide not to talk for many reasons, though this can drive in the worst case to death. 

I have understood 13 Reasons Why success was in part due main character's friend suffered several harassment, bullying, and more inmoral treat by selected people which ended in a depression which led her to commit suicide, thing that identifies the past of present of many people that were and maybe still are object of abuse, bullying and more, though I don't know more about 13 Reasons Why, sorry.

Lately I watched The Fairly OddParents and I can see it's partially accurate to reality, a kid being bullied and his parents unaware of his feeling so through magic can scape of his reality through his godparents —which can be interpreted as drugs—. In Rocko's Modern Life there's an episode where Rocko realized an old enemy would visit him but actually that enemy apologized (in spanish the episode's name is El Regreso de Dingo).

Music as well it's been a great context for exposing this reality. When I first watched the music video Alone —which I knew thanks to Monstercat— by Marshmello got me thinking about several things.

The first one was, what is the story behind this music video? Marshmello must have his reasons for having a video like that for a popular song like Alone. The video made me think this; when people realize that we have a hidden talent —or when at least we don't share it in public— considered very good by actual trends, in this case producing music, the same people who rejected, ignored and mocked at you are now trying to invite you to join their social circles, but the real reason behind of it is they want to get any benefit from the success and popularity you might get if you keep advancing. They won't be there if you face failure times while you are chasing your dreams.

Although if someone of that kind of people recognizes the bad that could do to you, the emotional wound is done. Also when people notice you are outstanding in something they want to be as well but they can't, or at least not as good as you do, they will appeal to attack you with words, trying to convince you politely, with jokes or with means words you will have no success in what you are really good. 

There is nothing better than ignoring those comments and keep insisting in your dreams but regrettably there are still very talented people that don't believe in themselves and start believing in the words jealous people say.
 

Internet has been a refuge for people who aren't receiving enough words of support in their daily social circle, either family or friends. Internet has allowed us to know many realities, evil, jealous, kind and talented people. However internet has been a window to for another kind of bullying as well. 

If people have been able in sharing more of themselves mostly through internet means something is going wrong with the real world; people attacking others with no reason, attacking someone because is outstanding than them, the one who is emotionally weak just for fun, plus with the lack of support of someone for struggling against all that, suicide will be the last choice, have happened, is happening and will keep happening if we don't do something. 

People have limited to share their thoughts and feelings due they have felt more support from their virtual friends more than the people that surrounds them. Maybe you have felt the same at least once in your life and I get it. 

As a victim of bullying I would like to say, if you know someone who is living this for no reason help him, support him, even if you have never talked with that person, nobody deserve to let someone more make us think we're worthless or useless. If we support each other we can build more friendships than divisions. 

You can be the hero of someone even if that someone doesn't expect it. Think that while you're reading this someone is suffering of what I have been talking about, we don't know who, but right now they need to be supported by someone, you can be that someone. 

I'll share here a song released by Monstercat that served as a charity release for a campaign supporting the ones who are still victims of this reality, hope you enjoy it, more details about the song you can find it here.

Hope you have liked this, if you did please share, that could help reach someone who need to read something like this. If you have a story to tell based in this, recommendations, or any other thing to say, don't hesitate in commenting. Have a nice day dear user~.
