A reaction to a recent trending topic on twitter/X

 

"The beautiful soul of Emman Atienza"

Emman faced endless mean comments and negativity on Twitter and across social media platforms, even while using her platform to speak about her own mental health struggles and battles, including bipolar disorder. Her own posts showed how this online cruelty made her feel "anxious and dreadful," proving that words on a screen cause deep, real-life wounds. The tragic loss of young creator Emman Atienza forces us to look at the real damage of online hate. 

This sad situation shows that social media is not a place for public judgment, but a place that should be kind. When a serious sickness like bipolar disorder meets a flood of public hate, it becomes too much for one person to handle. Emman's suffering pushes us to be more caring online and to always remember the personally behind the profile.

Let us promise to make the internet a better place by being thoughtful with our words and always remembering that everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about; we must practice compassion, courage, and a little extra kindness everyday. We need to be brave enough to stop the hate and be kind enough to support those who are hurting.
