Leave Amber Cole Alone: Social Media Is Victimizing Our Young People

We live in an age where bullying has ended in suicide and longtime internal scaring. Although this has not been verified by a credible source, there is talk that Amber is on a suicide watch.

In the midst of the hoopla other children have been expressing their frustration and how they have been affected by the Amber Cole incident.

A young girl uploaded footage of herself pleading in tears for everyone to leave Amber Cole alone. The reality of how much cruelty exists in the world starts to set in with kids and some do not take it well.

Instead of heavily poking fun at Amber for her actions, we can mentor her; perhaps it’s the lack of love that got her in the situation in the first way.

We are supposed to wrap our arms around her and uplift her to that place that she will never feel obligated to do something like that again.
