It's one thing to have an opinion, it's another thing to be a bully. If you want to disagree with someone, that's fine. If you do not like someone for whatever reason, personal or just because you don't like what they represent/do, cool.
It's not news that many people fight against those who bully others in the form of harassment, or negative actions. My problem is the idea that we only seem to understand bullying is wrong if it's done towards kids between the ages of 11 to 18.
People create sites that are solely for bashing celebrities, and they take the time to post awful things to these celebritie's Twitters and Instagrams. I'm not sure where people get off treating someone else like garbage, even if they are rich and famous. I've always been especially annoyed with people who talk badly about a celebrity just because they feel like it, or it seems like the cool thing to do. I was appalled the other day when I scrolled through my IMGFave app and saw this photo of a girls phone case.
If you were unaware, this is a picture of Kim Kardashian CRYING! Some girl made this photo her phone case, not her background on her phone, her PHONE CASE! How down right mean is that. I'm sure that girl would be infuriated if someone she went to school with put a photo of her crying her eyes out on their phone case because of something terrible that happened to her. I find this disgraceful, and something that can be classified as being a BULLY.
So why do people take time to recognize and attempt to put an end to the bullying of children but not all bullying. I think the problem is people have this stigma that celebrities don't have the same feelings as us normal folk, or that the celebrity asks for what is done/said to/about them. (So many /s)
I think that people are ignorant to validate their negative hate comments to someone like Snookie, Kim K, Lady Gaga, and whomever else they may not like for whatever reason. I know these celebrities have done things that may not be honorable. Snookie was on Jersey Shore and partied. Kim Kardashian has a sex tape and was married for 72 days. Lady Gaga..... Does nothing questionable because she's amazing and I love her.
Putting all this into perspective we have to realize not everyone's one time action is a representation of who they are. Nicole Polizzi (Snookie) is the perfect example. She may have had some wild times living up the summers in Seaside Heights, but that doesn't represent her every day life. She's an amazing person, dedicated mom, and she has several books that have done quite well. More than most haters can say! (How many books have you published...? Oh that's right! NONE.)
These people (Celebrities) are not helpless; but they still shouldn't have to be treated poorly. They have feelings too. Tons of regular females go around doing the same things, sometimes even worse, the difference is they aren't put in a tabloid the day after.
Don't get me wrong, some celebrities makes huge mistakes, but it's still no reason to send hate mail. The awful things people say and write towards someone, even the rich and famous, only says something about the person saying it... Not the person they are saying it about.
I'm pretty convinced that the majority of people who take the time to spread so much hate towards these celebrities are just jealous, bored, or have their own problems they want to project.
What really interests me is why people who say they don't like celebs like Snookie will still follow her on Twitter and Instagram. They comment on her photos and tweet awful things to her. They go as far to judge her parenting skills. I'm positive no one can prove ANY poor parenting on Nicole's part.
If you don't like someone why take all that time and effort... That says quite a bit about who a person is.
I guess the best thing to do is diagnose ignorance and prescribe a horse pill size of karma.
