The Sad Lives of Trolls

     When we think of internet trolls. We think of mean people who like to ruin other people's life. This is due to them having failures in their own life and they will resent anyone who they believe  to have achieved any kind of success. They usually have dark personalities and are antisocial. Maybe it's just me, but I feel bad for them. The fact that they have to break someone else down to get a sense of joy is terribly sad. They are so broken and can't seem to find an escape out of their life. Sometimes it's hard to see the bad guys point of view. But once we hear their story we can see them in a new light. From that one fairytale we know so well(Sleeping beauty). To hearing a new stories  perspective of  Maleficent( bad guy in sleep beauty). We can get a new perspective from something we thought we knew so well. I'm not saying online trolls have the right to do what they do. But what I'm saying is if you read a trolls comment. Just assume their life isn't that great, so they want to take down any bit of happiness you have. Just look at the comments and keep going. Don't let them swallow you into there world of pity. If their words hurt you just remember, " Sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have ever been to stand back up taller than you ever were."(anonymous) If someone knocks you down you will be stronger. Knowing that their words don't affect you.

  1. I don't believe that what trolls do is right but I see what you are trying to say. These trolls, these people have hit such a low point in their life that they are tearing down other people because they don't want them to be happy. One thing we have to know is that these people are really insecure and most likely going through a difficult problem. They feel hopeless and then they see happy people on the internet, it makes them feel even more hopeless. Since they have access to making an anonymous account they do it and they comment whatever they want just to make themselves feel better.

  2. While some trolls may be like that, stereotyping trolls without even distinguishing between the different types is concerning because there are different kinds of trolls, just as there are different kinds of people. Some trolls can be incredibly funny while others are demeaning. Consider the size and diversity of trolls before generalizing, just like every other group.
