To think others would go so far in their choice of words but fail to understand once they say it, it's very hard to apologize for. Hearts go out to her for standing up and speaking how she truly feels about this. This should make others learn about how to think before they speak

This is amazing! The only problem is, it's a program/extension/app you would have to install. A regular teenager won't willingly install it to his or her device...

Pity True, It would be better if marketed to parents to install on home computers at the least.

Its something that a phone company can put on as a starting app like google or safari and make it that it cant be deleted make it a requirement app

[@Wolfietjuh]

She was just running the concept for tests, but it could be further developed and applied to social media platforms themselves. That way it is not up to the individual to install, but rather for the platforms to incorporate it by default. Seeing as your comment is 5 years old however, I'm surprised no single large platform has ever done anything with all of this.

Thank you for this video! This topic is really important and popular nowadays in digital world! People should be more careful about what they do in social media. A lot of people don’t think about it and do whatever they want. Users should have been more polite and friendly with each other! Cyberbullying should have ended.

[@noneyabusinessbro]

Parents need to teach children to have some mental fortitude. Seriously.

[@antra21]

+Jeff Saubert How do you teach mental fortitude??

[@noneyabusinessbro]

AnTra23 Simple, reinforce them everyday. Let them know how special they are, and to ignore people who are mean to them. And to teach them if they dont like to be put down, change whatever they can to prevent it. IE if they are overweight and dont want to be called fat etc, show them and work with them to lose weight. Parenting is a LIFELONG job, you dont stop when they hit 10 years old, or teenage years, young adult years or ever adult years. Many parents stop supporting their kids emotionally when they are teenagers, assuming they are good to go. Both parents work jobs, they become disassociated with their kids. This leads kids to feel isolated, and alone, which makes them vulnerable to bullying. Our society now is based on everyone wins mentality, which creates a shit ton of weak willed individuals. Kids need to LEARN how to lose, how to ignore comments that put them down. To use those comments and losses to fuel their desire to get better. I play with my children, and let my kids win most of the time, but often enough I beat them and then counsel them that its not the end of the world and to work harder to get better. Is this a fool proof method? No way, but its a far better method than trying to censor bullying and hurtful things children and adults will say. Because it doesnt work, and it leaves people ill equipped to handle those situations. We are an aggressive, territorial, violent species, dont forget that and train your children to adapt to that behavior.

[@Lazarosinep]

+Jeff Saubert imo there should be tests that advise you whether or not you are suitable to be a parent. Not a law, just a "professional's oppinion".

[@noneyabusinessbro]

***** I disagree, giving more power to the government is the problem currently. Everyone wants to be told what to do, so they can be absolved of what they do.

[@darianlove1453]

+Jeff Saubert I agree so much. Maybe if children were taught not to cyberbully then we would have less violence.

Wow, that was an amazing speech. She is flawlessly doing her work at the age of 14th. I was so glad to see the remarkable rethink alert message outcomes. They are really making difference. I can say that with surety because once i tried to wrote something ugly on one of the social media and when i click the hit button, they show me message-"Are you sure to post this comment? it may be inappropriate." Something like that. At that time i thought for a second and decided not to post. This is for everybody that rethink before you say or write on someone. We all need to stop the all kinds of bullying. It can change someone's life very drastically.

[@LadyCanu]

+Uber-Charged Tuna What about STOP CYBER BULLING AND ACTUALLY GROW UP? That's an even greater idea.

[@uber-chargedtuna9132]

LadyCanu It's never going to stop. When you give people absolute freedom of speech, people will say what they want to say, even if it's good or bad.

[@LadyCanu]

Yes, It's true. But that actually happens when you don't stop to think you might be actually hurting another person. You think you have freedom of speech? You people use all the time the "freedom of speech" card and I think you don't even know what the hell it means. Your freedom ends when the freedom of other people begin. Threre's absolutely no reason for you to think you are entitled to bully others. I'ts cowardly and disgusting because people do it all the time and then they wonder "woah, why did they commit suicide? what a shame!". Hypocrites... People like you never stop to think about the consequences of your actions. I highly recommend you listen to this video carefully and grow up.

[@DanielGennaro]

I liked what she said about how our only solution is Stop, Block, Tell. I work as a Prevention Educator doing programming in K-12 and Colleges on Bullying- This video along with Shane Koyzcon's spoken word speech are very moving- the heart of the matter, is teens are growing up in the Comparison and Competition fueled culture- from Xbox Live points on Call of Duty- to how many 1.2K Likes/Followers you have on Instagram, to the modeling of our parents and politicians with Democrat/Republican disagreements. We are far too blinded by America's own sensational media. I think if we had a wider world perspective, and actually seen more images and stories of how Third world countries are suffering, in poverty, oppressed, etc. We would allllll live differently and think differently when it comes to how we treat each other. Doing these presentations- its kind of sad sometimes when I see just how students as young as 4th, 5th and 6th grade have a knowledge or direct experience with suicide ideation. That was sooo far removed from a few generations ago.. Kids might have thought about it, but rarely ever did they go through with it.... now, its almost romanticized and glamorized as a way of feeling better about ourselves and the situation. Its not right- and I dont want any youth to give up on life or their future. Keep speaking LIFE people. Keep SPEAKING LIFE!

Cyberbullying is a serious problem of modern society. In most cases, teenagers are susceptible to cyberbullying. They should have thought about the damage before writing awful comments. You correctly noted that teenagers are like cars at great speed, they do not think about the consequences. But it seems to me that it is adults who are to blame for the fact that children have become so cruel and ruthless. Now most of the children have virtually no childhood, because they have started buying the latest gadgets early and children are sitting on social networks from an early age.

Why she is wrong

[@keegs.itsme2]

It's extremely disappointing that people have to be rude to others. Even if we shut off our computers and back away from the situation, the issue of cyber bullying still stands firm. I'm disappointed that other people have to say such rude things online. In my opinion, I have received many offensive messages through trolls online. That's one of the biggest problems with our society as this isn't being "realistic", but it's simply hurting someone else's feelings. I'm happy to see that lots of people feel the same way. It drives my inspiration to change the world. :)

[@wormwood8352]

SmileForMe Getting offended is part of life. If you can't handle it, too bad, nobody cares. Cyber bullying isn't a problem, but people overreacting to it is.

[@keegs.itsme2]

Another thing I would say is that people overreacting is a completely normal thing. We are all humans. We can't simply "make the pain go away" and such. It's natural that we'd over react to things and it's also natural that your emotions can go out of control. However, you also have a point that it's a problem as without the pain, you'll never get stronger. Just like how muscles build up, pain is a factor of growth. Once you overcome that phase, you'll become more stronger and revitalized. Nice thinking. :)

[@wormwood8352]

SmileForMe Thank you for actually being a reasonable person. Anyway, I do agree to parts of that. I've personally grown pretty thick skin, so pretty much nothing that anybody can say will bother me much. When I said people overreacting was a problem, I was talking about how people will overreact so bad that they'll go so far as to try and censor other people's opinions that they don't like.

[@montypythonandtheholygrail9687]

MultiDarkZen Hating a religion is stupid. Don't be ignorant. You can't 'hate' several hundred thousand people that you don't know just because you dislike a few of them who identify in the same way. If you did say something like that repetitively, then of course you should be blocked. There's a fine line between 'free speech' and 'offensive, hurtful, uneducated speech', buddy.

[@abbegleicher5948]

Trisha, I love this idea. I work in a high school and the need to have students rethink could be life- changing. However, is there any way to have optional comments sent instead of only the OK or rethink option? I have found students often do not see or think of other options instead of posting their gut reaction. I don't know technology, but if optional sentences like " I need time to get back to you on this" or "I'm sorry, I don't feel the same" or "I'm not sure how to respond" or "that hurts my feelings" or "that doesn't sound right to me, can we talk?" Etc. could pop up along with an ok or rethink message, it might help them get the communication skills they might be struggling to use. If the user could easily click on a more positive or neutral sentence, it might change the discourse. Best of luck to you.

[@flyinggeese3740]

Love this work, and love this kid. I'd support it, but I'm not fully behind the idea, though.

The real question is can this tech really curb bullying by training people to think a second time? I definitely think it can, at least on a superficial level. Parents of bullies should raise their kids not to bully. Parents of the bullied should teach their kids resilience. But I do not want a world where the weak are just cast aside. They'd choose to be stronger if they could. Trust me.

Hold on, people are really that sensitive so as to hurt themselves because someone says something offensive or mean to them? What?

[@JessicaFrameMusic]

If one feels as if no one understands, no one cares, everyone wants them dead or gone...a feeling of hopelessness can settle on their heart, and as it continues to build, can be too much to bear. It's not that they're too sensitive- it's just that they're human.

***** Well, apparently I have always reacted differently when insults and threats are thrown my way.

[@PeteS_1994]

***** Exactly, people are complex, not simple, one can't assume everyone sees stuff the same way as them as they haven't lived the other persons life.

[@Missmusicloveable]

PeopleHateMyOpinions who is also a terrible Grammar Nazi I think that you're very naive if you believe that everyone would be the same as you in relation to this topic... Unless you're completely emotionless you are bound to react to an offensive comment in a negative way... It just various on how depending on the person.

So how long will it be before the application becomes compulsory and the government uses it to control thought? If someone posts a religious post or a political post the government doesn't like will it be popping up messages telling them to rethink? And if someone goes ahead and posts what they have written will that be recorded and used against them? I think the application has the potential to be dangerously misused. Freedom of speech should be protected. Adolescence don't need an application to tell them to rethink. Their parents, schools and churches ought to be teaching them to rethink for themselves without any application. We don't need a nanny we need maturity.

David Cole Fortunately the only way to control the internet is controlling the billions who use it. This app is a pipe dream that would cross into dangerous territory save for the fact that every hacker would just find a way around it.

[@davidcole1475]

Of course, but there will always be those who will willingly comply to everything the government tells them to do just because it's the government.

I think the idea of the extension would be amazing. It could be installed by a teacher in high schools on their laptops. Or a parent could install it on their kids device. Nice (:
