Thousands of people are uploading
videos of their deepest secrets to Youtube, a trend that they say
“makes them stronger.” While the experience is freeing to them,
it might not be the best way to deal with all of their problems.
People on the Internet are cruel and like to hurt and tear others
down with what they say. The cruel people are drawn to the “Secrets” videos like a
shark is drawn to blood, and attack just as a shark does.
The
people who upload these videos are not seeking attention. There is
usually a greater purpose to their videos. Kait, for example, shares
the story of her mother's suicide. As the video goes on, she
encourages anybody who is having suicidal thoughts, or knows someone
who is, to get help, She says, “Get help for me, for my mom.”
Kait had to deal with mean people saying she was just wanting
attention after posting her video. Ben Breedlove, a teen with an
adorable smile, shares his struggle with the heart disease HCM. He
has cheated death multiple times, and shares about what each
experience was like, how he had a pacemaker put in at the age of 14,
and how he has never been able to play sports with his friends. He
teaches everyone to love life and be proud of themselves and all that
they have accomplished.
While
they all say that posting those videos was good for them, it might
not be good for others. A person might think that posting their deepest
issues will fix them, but that isn't a good way to think of it. That
person has to be prepared for the world having access to it, for the
mean people and what they will say, and for the affect it might have
in the future.
