As many of you kow, even celebrities, especially the young one get bullied. It´s not only the people in your school. Jada Pinkett Smith, Jaden and Willow Smith´s mother took to her facebook page to address on the recent cyber bulling towards Justin and other young celebrities.
She wrote:
"Are we bulling our young artists?
How can we aak for our young stars to have a high leel of responsibility if we are not demonstrating that same level of responsibility towards them?
This week, I has to really eveluate the communication in regard to our young arists in the media. I was trying to differentiate cyber-bulling from how we attack and risicuel our young starts through media and social networks. It is as if we have forgotten what it means to be young or even how to behave like good ol´ grown folk.
Do we feel as though we can say and do what we please without demonstating any responsibility simply because they are famous? Is it okey to continually attack and critize a famous 19 years ols who is simply trying to build a life, exercise his talents while figuring out what manhood and fame is all about as he carries the weight of supporting hi sfamily as well as providing the paychecks to others who depend on him to work so they can feed their families as well?
Does that render being called a cunt by an adult male photographer as you try to return to your hotel after leaving the hospital? Or what about our nine year ols beautiful Oscar nominee who was referred to as a cunt as well? Or what about being a young woman in her early twenties, exploring the intracacies of love and power on the world stage?
And shoudl we shame a young woman for displaying a sence of innocence as she navigates through the murky waters of love, heartbreak and fame? Are there young people not allowed to be young, make mistakes, gorw and eventually transform a million times before our eyes? Are we asking them to defy the laws of nature because of who they are? Why can´t we congratulate them for the capacity to work through their challenges on a worls stage and still deliever prosucts that keep them on tht top. We all know how hard it is to keep our heas up above water, even in the privacy of our own homes let alone on the world stage.
Imagine yourself, at their age, with the spotlight, challenges and responsibilities. Most of us would have fallen to the waste side before we could even get to a crashed Ferrari, a controversial romance, several heart breaks, or an Oscar nomination at NINE. We wish we could have has the capacity to accomplish HALF of what they have accomplished along with ALL these challenges they face. But.....maybe THAT´S the problem....we WISH we could have or even.....we WISH we could."
I have to admit, those were wise words from a wise lady. STOP THE BULLING! some people do it without their knowledge, some say they are just expressing themselves out loud but you also gotta be careful about what you say on the internet, once someone starts bulling you there, it´s out in the open and you will be exposed to anyone who feels like bulling you too. Many have committed suicide, for example Amanda Todd. it was a sad end.
It´s the same for all the celebrities, they are human and have feeling too. what you say on the internet affects them, even if it´s the tiniest bit!
So speaking on Justin´s side, he works his ass off to get whatever he wants, is that wrong? it´s not like he woke upp one morning and his life magically becae the way it is today. Honestly, if you have nothing better to do on the internet but just sit and bully people, maybe you shouls start thinking about getting a life!
It hurts when I hear people judge, critise and bully Justin for the wrong reasons without knowing what happened to cause him to do what he did. they always take the media´s side because they want to find reason to bully Justin and say rude, hurtfull things to and about him. he worked hard to be wherever he is right now. You only know his name, not his background and what he has been through!
