In my opinion, one of the important topic is TROLLING AND CYBERSTALKING. The youth should always be reminded to have empathy and be a responsible user when responding to certain issues on the internet. For instance, people seemed to respond to viral issues by making fun of the subjects in the viral issue, just for the sake of having a laugh with their peers. It is very saddening to see that the way they responded to it can somehow make the people who are directly involved in the issues to feel angered, depressed or just a total loser. One thing for sure, emotional scar are invisible to human eyes, and would be carried in the heart forever.
This is because, usually, they voiced out their opinions using unnecessary harsh or vulgar words, without taking into consideration that they are actually talking about other human beings who also have emotion. The fact that they are hiding behind the screen (aka the ‘keyboard warrior’) maybe make them feel powerful, thus made them overlooked what the effect of words have towards other people.
Therefore as an educator, we should constantly reminding the youth to be mercifully towards others by putting themselves in other people shoes. May be, by doing so, we are not only producing a responsible internet user, but we are also moulding a wholesome individual with a big heart.
