Trolls

When I think of a troll I picture a creepy, ugly, creature living in hiding waiting to prey on people or things that come across it. If you think about it, an internet troll only has one major difference from a fairy tail troll. That difference if that they operate behind a screen. This gives them access to troll people other than the ones that just happen to stumble by and they can do it from anywhere, the comfort of their own home or walking around in the streets and no one can tell. One of the worst things about internet trolls is that they can be anonymous which seems to make them more of a threat because the victim can't even tell who is saying these horrible things. The trolls have nothing better to do than to bug others, pick fights, or just leave a horrible comment and watch others argue about it. I wish that the internet would become more of a space to find out important stuff happening in the world, do research for essays or school, and social media would go back to dogs and even food pictures. I'd rather scroll through instagram and see fifty different plates of food and a ton of dogs and cats instead of people picking pointless fights and arguing with strangers about what seems important to them but is something that no one else really cares about.

  1. I agree with the part where I rather see fifty different plates of food,dogs,cats,etc because its so much better then seeing so much drama on instagram. Online was not designed to use it in such a horrible dangerous way like how trolls be using it. Its suppose to help us out with research, staying in contact with distance family and friends and so much more.How did our world online end up like this...Its sad to know we wont ever get rid of the trolls, but we, ourselves should serve as examples of how online should be used the right way.
