Imagine a world without hate or humans judging other people. Sounds perfect, right? Well, unfortunately we don’t live in that type of society or world and probably never will. But, as people, it’s our responsibility to try and minimize the hate and constant judgement.
Most of us use at least one type of social media and that seems to be where most of the problems begin. People go on and post or say anything they feel or want to without any thought of possible repercussions.

Some of the words and posts are hurtful, disrespectful and demeaning to other people. Time after time, you see other people judging what another person posts. It’s like a downward spiral of hate and negativity. Whether it be over a belief, politics or a simple meme, people go crazy.

Looking through my own personal Facebook, there are so many posts with arguments happening within the comment section, and they never seem to end nice and calm. Most of the time, words like “nasty,” “trashy,” “ugly” and other words not able to be put in print are used. The biggest thing that saddens me is that these comments are mostly by women to other women.

Not only do I think these comments are awful, but I think that it’s horrible that women take down other women all over the internet. As women, we need to come together and stop putting each other down and lift each other up instead. We need to show the world that it’s not okay to trash each other, but that we stand together.

As women, if we go on the internet and target other women, it leaves an open door for men to follow the same path. If we demean and insult other people with hurtful words and degrading phrases, people are going to think it’s okay.
Not only does this have an immediate effect on women now, but it can also affect the younger generations of girls. They will grow up knowing and thinking that insulting other women is perfectly normal. Depending on what the younger girls see, they might start to have this behavior at a younger age. If we put an end to this now, the younger generations won’t have to go through these types of experiences.

We shouldn’t have to be afraid of having an opinion and live with the fear of being judged if we do. As a society, we need to make others feel comfortable and accept them for being open.

Growing up, people always said, “Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.” I think that this is a very important concept to follow. I constantly see people putting each other down. News flash people, no one is perfect. Just because someone doesn’t live a life like you do, doesn’t make them any less of a person. It makes them human. We are all different and that is what makes us all unique. Instead of taking our uniquenesses and using them against each other, we need to use them to encourage each other.

I don’t want to see our future children having to deal with the same judgemental drama as we do. So, next time you’re on social media and see something you don’t agree with or dislike, keep scrolling. It will save you a lot of time, frustration and you’ll probably be a better person because of it. Make the world a place where our differences unify us.
