Dean
Hi Nana, have you heard the news about a netizen who is sued for posting rude words online to an actress? I have posted the same thing to someone's status but luckily, no one sued me. What about you?
Nana
Shamefully, yes. I have once posted mean things online, like posting rude words on someone's status. Sometimes, about complete strangers, sometimes about people I went to school with, and then other times, even about my friends! What did you post?
Dean
I've definitely sent messages, I typed, 'You're not good enough being the class leader', maybe an hour later, I thought, hmm, perhaps I shouldn't have said that. And there are definitely things that I have said since then, which maybe years later I thought, hmm, I'm not, I'm not really happy with that.
Carmela That was true. I am sorry to overhear your talks. I posted the same thing. I commented, "This is the worst art I've ever seen!, you're very rubbish', I was just being really mean. It was actually not necessary to say it., not needed. What do you usually post Nana?
Nana
Normally it was like an in-joke, or something that happened at school, or, you know, something that we'd been talking about. What happened to the person Carmela?
Carmela The person commented back, saying that I'd really hurt their feelings. I started crying because I felt so guilty for saying such mean things.
Dean Yes, we are too mean. If you ever post anything online that you do feel worried about, please make sure you talk to a trusted adult or maybe you might even want to talk to your friend.
Nana
I agree with you Dean. It's all about how you deal with those things afterwards. You know, apologize to the person that you may have upset.
Carmela
From my experience, I learned 'Don't comment mean things that you wouldn't say to someone in person.
Nana
Yes, it is so true. If it's somebody that you know, let them understand why you did it. If it was a joke, you know, it's not an excuse but at least you're offering some kind of explanation.
Dean
Okay guys,,, If I can say that online life can be filled with loads of different surprises, but, remember, should anything throw you off, you can talk to an adult you trust.
Nana
Okay. Noted!
Carmela
Guys...the class has started. We'll talk again later
