I read about this lately. Before that, I read about this. And before that, there was this.

I suppose we don't need more convincing of how horrible we can be to one another. I can only imagine a little of what the victims are probably going through - children can be cruel, and who ever really grows up nowadays?  

But I wish there was someone who told them: these people who are tormenting you don't know you. They're not people of substance, and should not be listened to. They're average people, trying to fill up their dull lives with flashy imagery and shallow posturing. They don't care whether you live or die because you were never real to them to begin with - well, not much is real to them anyway. In a hundred years they won't even be remembered, save perhaps for a census entry. 

The world changes explosively almost every decade. The Internet won't stay the same; think about Friendster. Remember Friendster? For a time it was like Facebook - now all the images and video and comments are gone. Whatever they put up, isn't going to last. It's the tendency of these people to settle for building things that don't last. 

But you - while you're still in the world, you have a chance. You can build something that might exist until the next age of Man. Tomorrow brings new wonders, new possibilities. There will always be others who will love you for who you are. There will always be paths you can travel. There are entire worlds out there who wouldn't have even heard of your humiliation. So much left to discover, baby - but only if you stay here, with us. 

It's unfair, what you have to go through. People make the world unfair. But when you're gone, there's nothing. No more bad feelings, and no more good times either. The good times are worth it. Do you understand? This is the life. This is the only life!
