5 Reasons The Sarahah App The New Battleground For Cyberbullying

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.

5 Reasons The Sarahah App The New Battleground For Cyberbullying

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
