I know there have already been statuses about this but really felt the need to say something. For anyone who doesnt know, yik yak is like an anonymous twitter where you can only see posts from people within a close proximity to you. Although it was relatively funny at first, it became a very easy way for people to maliciously (and anonymously) attack me and my friends on social media. Throughout the course of the day, I got called everything from a fake trust fund hoe to simply being fat and ugly. This is a message to the cowardly people sitting behind your phones, making extremely hurtful comments about me and many of my amazing friends. This does not make you cool, or funny, nor is it a joke. More than HALF of suicides are related to bullying, and victims of bullying are 2-9 times more likely to commit suicide than non victims. Does that sound like a joke to you? To all of the people effected by negative and damaging comments on yikyak, keep your heads held high. And to those doing the bullying, never underestimate the power of your words, and their ability to damage a person. Try saying something nice about someone instead. It would probably make their day, and make you feel so much better about yourself too :)
