Hate Messages

by Nikki Gupta
It’s truly saddening to say that there is a lot of anonymous hate going on around Tumblr, it’s just so painful to read - even if the messages isn’t sent to me, it’s just horrible to read the hate messages being sent to such lovely people, what good does it do?
Cyber bulling (hate messages) can be very harmful to people, yes there are aways to ignore the hate messages (i will talk about that later) but there are people out there who are very sensitive and can’t stand the hate messages they receive. Hate messages can push someone over the edge, so if you do send a hate message, you could be the reason of someone committing suicide or start to harm themselves thinking they deserve it and i honestly do not know how someone can live, knowing that they just indirectly killed/hurt someone. 
If you do dislike someone, do not send hate messages. They do not resolve anything! If you dislike someone for doing something to you, talk to them, resolve the problem. But if things do not go as planned with the person you dislike, stay away from that person then! Don’t be tempted to send any harmful messages, you are just wasting your own time and you could possibly do something else which would be more productive. 
Some ways to ignore hate messages:
  • Don’t answer the messages at all, if you keep on responding to the hate the person/people will continue to send more just to get to you.
  • Delete the message straight away!: Don’t bother to think about what to say, just get rid of the messages.
  • If you’re being sent anonymous hate messages, either deactivate the option of being anonymous or block them. (There is an option to block the anonymous person)
  • If the user is off anonymous simply block them or feel free to report the person to Tumblr.
