So, by now everyone has heard of and probably has a Sarahah page so people can leave you little messages. Now while this app was a great invention, I am going to give you 5 reasons to why it's not that great.
1. The messages are anonymous.
Yes, this is the point to the app but what happens if someone says something and you really need to know who that person is? You have no way of finding out. I think a neat addition to the app would be to have it set so someone can click on the message and find out who left it. I know there have been a few times where I would like to know who said something.
2. They can say anything they want, good or bad.
Sarahah doesn't have a setting where you can't cuss or say anything harmful so whatever the person types is what is sent the person on the other end. No matter what it is. So watch out for what some people may say about you on there because they don't have the guts to say it to your face.
3. You can stop a person from writing on your Sarahah but you still don't know who they are.
I think it is a little strange how you can block a person from writing on your wall but they won't tell you who it was. If you can block that person I think you have the right to know who it was that wrote on there but that is not the case. You are just left wondering who left you the messages.
4. You can report a message but you don't know results.
Sarahah allows you to report messages that are sent to you but they don't notify you of the results from the report nor do they tell you who wrote the message. It'd be nice if they would at least let you know rather or not the person had some sort of punishment for what they said.
5. You can't delete your profile once it is made.
I was getting tired of some of the things that were being said to me on Sarahah so I went to try to delete my profile. Sadly I quickly discovered that once your profile was made you couldn't delete it. I personally would like to delete my profile.
If you want to check out Sarahah and see what all the buzz is about I don't personally recommend it. I didn't realize just how many people didn't like me until I made my account and shared it. You have no control over what people say about you but Sarahah sure doesn't make things easier.
It is a new way of cyber bullying and it needs to be stopped before someone takes it too far and causes a child to hurt themselves. I know what it feels like now to be cyber bullied and I pray that it doesn't happen to anyone else. I pray it never happens to my niece or nephews.
