Recently a video of a young kid named Jonah Mowry has been circulating around the web. In this video Jonah is holding cards saying that he's been bullied since the second grade, and that he doesn't feel well. It is of course very sad. Although later he has posted a video where he admits that the first video isn't true.
This is of course not the important part of this story. Whether the first video is true or not is irrelevant. What matters is the fact that we see and care about a bullied kid when he posts a video of himself. Why is that? Why don't notice the ones who are being bullied close to us. In our schools, at our jobs and in general. These are the ones we should be noticing. But we don't. We show that we care on youtube, not in real life. How can this be? Have we become that lazy? Are we that far gone? Sometimes I think we need a reboot. But that couldn't happen. Man could not make that happen.
I'm not perfect. I make mistakes myself. I've probably missed plenty of bullied kids during my years in school. But we need to start thinking! Looking! Seeing! We are far gone. But it can not be too late. It mustn't. It isn't.
