Things You Shouldn't Let the Internet Convince You

1.) That having a mental illness is a good thing or ~cute~
3.) That being a minority or feeling like you're struggling with an issue alone makes you any less of a person
4.) That you can’t be cool without being a narcissistic jerk
5.) That making fun of people/their situations is an acceptable form of humor
6.) That hating everyone around you is an okay mentality
7.) That your problems don’t matter
8.) That having apathy and not caring for anything at all is ~cool~
9.) That hating men is okay
10.) That hating women is okay
11.) That hating children is okay
12.) That hating anyone is okay, like literally what, stop hating things that is a toxic way to live, my friend
13.) That you can’t make a point or state your opinion without being a jerk
14.) That attacking people just because they have a different opinion is okay
15.) That your grades don’t matter
16.) That what you do doesn’t matter
17.) That the world is a terrible place
18.) That life isn’t worth living
19.) That making fun of someone for getting excited about something they like is okay
20.) That your self-worth is depicted based on the number of followers or likes you have
21.) But also, that getting excited when you do gain a lot of followers or views or likes or whatever makes you a selfish, self-absorbed person
22.) That liking things that are popular makes you a “basic”, boring person
23.) That liking things that aren’t popular is a bad thing
24.) That not liking things that other people like makes you a bad person
25.) That putting other people down for liking things is a good thing
26.) That putting people down in general for something that isn’t hurting anyone in anyway, is okay
27.) That not “reposting for ___” is a bad thing/makes you a ""heartless person"" I mean why?? ? ? ?
28.) That you have to be a certain way for people to like you

I could go on forever with this, but the main thing is just don’t let the internet make you feel bad for who you are, and don’t let it convince you that hurting other people is okay. The internet is full of opinions, and it is all up to you to decide what you want to do with your life. Don’t let some idiot on a keyboard convince you that any of this is okay. As someone who’s been on Tumblr for about 3 years now, and has made many other social media accounts and has seen plenty of this in that time period, I’ve formed many opinions of my own based on what other people say online. 

I would like to take a moment to thank Gerard for this tweet. xD

Liking things shouldn't be all that serious, don't be rude to other people online and offline, share ideas, make things, help others, take care of yourself, y'know just be a good soup, and share some of that soup. I know I sound like one of those stupid cheesy "STAY SAFE ON THE INTERWEBS!!!1!" videos that they show in school, but really, I feel like some people do need the reminder. Everything is fine. Everything is so fine, and everything is going to be okay, just don't be a piece of poo, and that is all I have to say. 

HOPE YOU'RE ALL HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY/WEEK/EXISTENCE. Sorry I haven't been commenting lately, I have been reading I promise, I've just been sorta quiet (and dying over portfolios, school needs to chill). 

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES

DRINK LOTS OF WATER

STAY SAFE ON THE INTERNET CHILDREN
