You've Got Mail!

Everyone knows about bullying.. You slam a kid into a locker and it’s obvious who the victim is. Too obvious in fact, that nowadays people have resorted to behind the scenes bullying, anonymously voicing their opinions. Feeling safe with the mentality that it can’t be connected to them, if the person “snitches”. It's called cyber bullying, and it has to stop. Cyber bullying consists of "using technology, like cell phones and Internet, to bully or harass another person. Such as:

• Sending mean messages or threats to a person's email account, cell phone, Facebook, Formspring, etc. 
• Stealing a person's account information to break into their account and send false damaging messages
• Circulating suggestive pictures or messages about a person

These are just some of the many forms cyber bullying can take on. Once posed on the Internet, it may never disappear, and continue to resurface and open old wounds. This like all other forms of bullying has an major impact on the victim, it can lead to anxiety, depression, and possibly suicide. 

"Despite the potential damage of cyber bullying, it is alarmingly common among adolescents and teens." 

• Over half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyber bullying.
• More than 1 in 3 young people have experienced cyberthreats online.
• Over 25 percent of adolescents and teens have been bullied repeatedly through their cell phones or the Internet.
• Well over half of young people do not tell their parents when cyber bullying occurs

Cyber bullies do not realize the hole they are digging for themselves, their actions and taunts will reflect badly on their character leading to rejection by a college or job. Many social networking websites have ways that bullying can be reported leading to the suspension or deactivation of the bully's account. Bullies can face legal consequences as well for their actions, especially if the bullying was sexual(such as sexting involving minors) which could lead to the bully being registered as a sex offender. Just because you use a fake identity doesn't mean you can avoid the consequences, there are many ways to track someone who is cyber bullying. 

There is absolutely no need for these immature cowardly acts, it should be outlawed, and avoid the lost of a life that will be taken due to any form of bullying.

Let's Experiment On You

We use the products, yet millions of animals suffer..
No one blinks an eye at the labs filled with animals that are used solely for the purpose of experimentation. That aren't even given a chance at life, at purpose. They're created and destroyed all for the purpose of making sure we stay safe. Since when were we superior? Oh yea, apparently always. Humans are the ones who need to be watched over, who need rules and regulations to keep society in order. Anything other than us is simply disposable income. We're the ones using said products, shouldn't we be the ones testing them? To make sure they're safe for our eyes? For our skin? Of course, right? Too bad no one wants to be the crash dummy, no one's willing to step in and be a guinea pigs to the products they'll turn right back around and use. Now what? Let's just use animals! Not like they have rights or a purpose in this world or anything. Psh, throw them in the lab, make them useful! I could say the same about you. What are you contributing to the world? Nothing? Oh really, don't worry we can just throw you in a lab and give you purpose! Take a seat right here. Does this burn? Are you getting a stinging feeling? Can't feel your face? Oh wells. Next! Try this. Oh you don't want to? Who said you had a choice, you need a purpose in life right? Now sit still we've only just began! Millions of animals are killed during this process, only to be documented as an Opps! disposed of and on to the next we go.

"Of the animals that the USDA collects numbers on, 1,438,553 were used in research in 2002." 1,438,553 animals in one year alone. Over 1,000,000 animals are in labs worldwide, these statics don't even include animals such as mice, rats and birds who's existence isn't required to be documented.
Multiple animals are boxed up and caged, stacked one upon another, that's their whole life, taken out only to be experimented on and may not even return to their small homes.Let's do this to you. Oh but no that's frowned upon, humans can't be caged they require attention and socialization. So do animals, but that doesn't seem to matter. "489, 262 animals that were used in research in 2002 (not including mice, rats, and birds—no one knows how many of these animals are used in research) were used in research that was either painful, distressful, or both" 489,262 animals, the same breeds you see in pet stores looking for nice homes, are tortured.

The facts don't lie, they're simply overlooked due to the superior complex humans have developed. 
We created this. We sent millions of animals to their deaths. We build these torture facilities. 
Something should be done about it.
