This I believe

I’m Korean. In 2009, more than ten celebrities in Korea suicide from Melancholia. I really don’t want to embarrass my country by writing by like this, I chose this as my topic because I want it to stop. Korea is the only country with this issue. There are reasons why Koreans comments bad things about others in Internet. All most all the South Koreans love to sit and use computer. In average, Koreans use computer for 4.4 hours a day. So, naturally people go to website, and view news about celebrates and leave bad comments about them. Even if they don’t know anything about them, even if they don’t really hate them, they write bad comments for fun or to prevent their stress from their school or work.

Starting from 21st century, ever since Internet became really popular in Korea, people lost their mind without realizing that the words they actually say in Internet can hurt others feeling. I was really upset when I heard news that one of my favorite actress suicide last year. The thing that made me more upset was the comments of the news, people were saying things like. “Thanks god you died,” “You deserve to die!” It was shocking, how can people actually say that to others? It’s just amazing how these people who are not even adults sit in a chair with their computer and leaving comments like this. Celebrities are also people like us; we don’t have rights to hurt them. When I become a parent, I will teach my daughter how to use the Internet properly, that words can hurt people.

It’s not only about celebrities, we need to think first before we say any thing to someone, including your close friends, family or even someone you hate. If everyone start to believe in this, many people would be able to live much happier life.
