ιnтerneт тroll ~ anonyмoυѕ

As we know, internet trolls are taking over the internet. In most websites, you can encounter one or even more than that although it's not so suprising to me if I see one because I use the internet like 24/7. 

Why do we have internet trolls? I believe that since technology have improved over the years, we as people, act carelessly that we just don't mind what we say or do in the internet because online, you can do everything you want or say anything you want without anybody stopping you. We have so much freedom over the internet. Internet trolls tend to put negative comments into everything because why not. It's not like they will be punish for it right? 

There will always be people who would critize everything they see because of our freedom of speech & that we have our own judgment and opinions into things. That's just the way it is. Given the fact that, no one will know who you are because nowadays, we create our own user & decide whatever you want to be seen as. So anyone one of us can be anonymous since they are many people who don't really know each other. 

As for me, I name myself as Lieutenant Sprinkle. However, not everyone knows who I really am. Although, I don't want to be seen as that in this blog so I'll put my actually identity in the end because I used the wrong email lol. Overall, we can't stop an internet troll except for blocking them in social media and just ignoring them. So be wise and careful in what you say in the internet because not everyone is an internet troll. Are you?  - Kyle Regaliza

The Grumpy Old Troll

     I think in most of our association with trolls, it isn't that troll who stops Dora from passing on to the next part of her journey, it's the haters who seek to obstruct others on their journey through life. For most teens, this is a time of acceptance and finding self love, respect, and their next step in life. We are all experiencing similar emotions and troubles, but in the midst of it all we live in this social media age, where we can share bits and pieces of our jigsaw lives. As we do so, people are entitled to their opinions and speech on what we decide to share, and in a great deal of cases for those who've endured cyberbullying, the first amendment right to free speech can be unfortunate. Dealing with an internet "troll," can be difficult and some have even lost the battle to them... but how do we stop losing these battles? The answer is, you just don't win or lose. Silence is golden, and what these people are expecting of you is to elicit a negative response. Remember that your silence speaks at a volume that everyone will hear. We must stop buying into the grand scheme of the trolls and promote positive vibes by not entertaining their pitiful actions. So remember when you come across the person who throws the "@," just bite the pillow. :-)

Trolls

This unit of "Online and Anonymous" over the biggest icon coming out of the Internet, what we are calling "Internet Trolls". These trolls are receiving countless numbers of negative backlash. Too many people have said these people crave attention or these people are just simply bad people looking to break down innocent people. But what we often look over is the fact that these people are going through the same struggles as us. Oftentimes, being anonymous over the Internet is a form of therapy for people, almost like a form of security. For example, the show we are all familiar with,"Catfish", perfectly portrays the idea of people with good intentions who end up hurting the person on the other end. I don't think every one who is classified as a "troll" has started their trolling with bad intentions.

?????

Honestly guys, trolls are so annoying haha like ??? What are you doing with your lives? I will never understand why trolls do what they do!! Just go outside and get some fresh air instead of being salty and bringing someone else down with your cruel words!! Why can't we just all be nice to each other? People are so ignorant and rude. Just because YOU yourself don't have happiness doesn't mean you should bash others and make their life miserable. Like, I'm sorry you have to act like this to get attention because you don't get enough or didn't get any at all. I'm tired of hearing stories of people doing terrible things to themselves because of bullying and stuff like that. Can we just bake a cake and sing a song? (reference from Mean Girls if you didn't get that haha I'm so lame, I'm sorry) Well yeah lets just be friends guys it's not that hard to be nice to each other/people you've never talked to before. Ok I love you all, goodnight. Bye.

Internet Trolls

I have gone on the internet millions of times, and it has made up about 2/3 of my life.  One of my favorite things I love to do is go on YouTube, Facebook, search up interesting sites and images on Google, or even listen to songs.  It is a chance for me to explore things and know anything that is going on in our city, statewide, nationwide, or internationally, but honestly, it is just a way for me to not get bored and somehow keep me occupied for as long as it takes.  However, I have noticed that there are some so called internet "trolls" out there that happen to take over numerous sites that I visit.  For example, on YouTube, there is a video that is titled (maybe not exactly worded correctly): "Mt. St. Helen Eruption 1980 Caught on Tape," which included a thumbnail of the volcano itself.  When I clicked on it, it just showed some random pictures of the volcano before the eruption.  There was no footage at all!  Sometimes I click on really catchy titles or names, and when I view it, what I just saw had no correlation to what the title or name said, concluding that it is very misleading.  I do not like how uploaders or site posters make such a huge impact to people surfing the internet.  Yeah, some are funny, especially if it was just for fun, and no serious content was involved.  But what if there are others who are busy researching something very important for a school project, and they are in such a hurry to finish it.  I wonder how the student would feel when they enter a website containing dancing monkeys instead of the history of the American Civil War.  You get the point.  The fact is that it is just super annoying to do this.  Sometimes internet trolls force people into believing things that appear to be false in real life.  This is why I only post things that are reasonable and true in my belief.  I have been very positive on social media, and was never the one who started a racket among my friends, and never will be! We all should too, instead of making bad comments or posting things that might hurt others.  These trolls just want to be recognized and then make people angry afterwards.
I think internet trolling can be good and bad . sometimes people take it way to far and hurt people's feelings. Sometimes people may us it to uplift other people anonymously. I have never experienced internet trolling but one of my closes friends have . One of my best friends started dating this guy . my friend use to post her videos of the two on instagram and other social media sites . I guess one of his ex's seen it. The video must have upset her because then she started going crazy on my friend's page . The girl started to comment all sorts of rude mean things . She would even take my friends photos screenshot them and post them on her page to talk about my friend . As you can see if your reading this some people can be very very mean. That girl is the definition of internet trolling negativity.
