Mean Girls

You know what boggles my mind?  That people actually patrol the internet and read articles about people they hate and go out of their way to write rude comments.  Same thing with Twitter.  Don't these people have anything to do with their lives?  Are they that miserable that mocking people they barely know, brings them the ultimate joy?


If you don't like someone, why follow them on Twitter?  Of course they are going to be posting about what is going on in their lives, and if you don't care, why bother wasting your life reading and responding to these posts?


There are a lot of hateful people in this world, and even if celebrities get thousands of tweets a day, they still manage to read a few that are just plain hateful.  Tweeting a celebrity telling them to commit suicide, saying rude stuff about their family, or how gross they looked that one time getting off the plane, these people have feelings too and you never know what is going on in their head.  Look at Demi Lovato.  She ended up having to be checked into a facility because of cutting, drinking and drugs.  To start with, she was obviously a fragile teenager, and then add to it thousands of tweets telling her she is fat, or berating her because God forbid she broke up with a Jonas brother?


People need to stop worrying about other people, especially celebrities.  I think it is a real sad state of affairs when Miley Cyrus getting a new tattoo or haircut is front page on Yahoo.  Aren't there more important things going on in the world?  I think so, but apparently other people don't.  And don't even get me started on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes...I am so sick of hearing about their divorce every 5 seconds!  People are jobless, people are starving, people are dying of disease, and all anyone cares about is whether or not Scientology played a role in their divorce.  WHO CARES!


Its time for the world to wake up and pay attention to things that matter.  The lives of celebrities don't matter.  I will admit that I am on Twitter and I follow a bunch of meaningless celebs, but most of the time I roll my eyes and move on. 


People in today's society really need to learn compassion.  Stop hiding behind computers and bullying other people and instead get out in the world and make a difference.  If people are so tired of hearing about the Kardashians, get off your butt and stop watching their show.  They can't survive if the millions of people who comment about how nauseating they are, stop secretly watching their show.


Of course I agree that how they make their living is ridiculous.  Look at Snooki, getting drunk and getting paid millions of dollars for it.  Sounds like the 4 years I spent at college other than the millions of dollars.  Do I wish I could have her life style?  Of course, but do I send her mean tweets telling her how she should die and making fun of her unborn child...no!  What difference does she make in my life?


The point is, is that no one knows what is going on behind closed doors.  Just because 95% of their life is public, there is still another 5% that no one is privy to.  Stop worrying about what other people are doing and try to make a difference with your own life.
