Risk of watching the news.
Watching the news has been so normal for us. We find new information, capture interesting stories and learn more about what's going around the world. Most of the information they give us now is how a certain event affected the family. Do we really care about the family? Or are we just nosy people? Irrelevant information is given out more than the actual important information. We tend to use our emotions when we watch the news then our knowledge. Scientist are starting to say that not watching the news will start making us happier.
The misperception of a car falling of a fallen apart bridge makes us be more preoccupied of the car and the family then the actual bridge. Yes we should all be worried about the family. But the car isn't really important. Like of it was a Honda people would just start being like "I'm not buying that car, their brakes don't work." When that was a human mistake. What about the bridge? That was a human mistake too. We get scared to buy the type of car when we should've been worried about the real problem which is our society.
Sometimes it isn't the fact that care, just that showing that we care shows off a good impression to other people. While we watch the news, we apply emotions, "how tragic is that", "I feel sorry", come one people we need to apply KNOWLEDGE!! Yes, some cases are heart touching, but omg(oh my god) use that brain. You see a family lost there house, due to a fire. You seem more sad about the family losses, then instead trying to make a difference, in order to prevent it from happening or to help them out get back on there feet, after all it might happen to you.
Your sitting there watching the news, now a days all you see is bad, negative things happening around the world. Which makes you think and worry about the problems around the world, which at the end of the day makes you overthink. Overthinking is bad to the health, it makes you worry about non-sense, well not exactly non-sense. Yet scientist are saying not watching the news makes you way lot happier with your life's.
At the end of the day, watching cartoons is better. They bring fun, joy, sadness, but they don't make you have a misperception about the world and it's problems. We can't control the people to watch the news or not to watch. Sometimes your going to just be able to accept the ways the news makes you feel.

Bullying
Bullying has became a number one conflict through all the United States, might as well say the world. Everyone has gotten bullied at least once in there whole life time or in the life they lived. It's sad to think about, but it's true. Sometimes the youngest kids kill themselves because they think that's there only way out. Why can't we say no to bullying as of they're drugs getting offered to us? If we stand up for someone getting bullied, we would end up being the aggressor, and get blamed for it.
There's three types of bullying which is verbally, mentally, and physically. They can go from laughing about the "joke", to crying because the words you said about them actually hurt them in a way. "No harm, no foul", actually anything can be harmful is just how the person takes it, either to the heart, or pushes it to the back. We usually do the harm without even noticing the pain we might be causing the people. "Your fat", "Your ugly" simple as those words can be, they literally can distortion someone's self-esteem.
I once encountered a bullying problem at my middle school, this boy was getting bullied thankfully someone went up to the aggressor and fronted him to stop bullying the boy, it turned out to be a fight, but the boy who stood up for the little kid got the minor disciplinary action but the other one, let's say we didn't see him at school till months later. Sometimes the right thing is done, other times we the people act as were blinded and don't turn to help, either because we don't want to get the problems faced toward us or due to the fact we want to be blinded and mind our own business.
In the news, "It was last week when Shimizu killed himself after having been bullied. Last year, he was the only boy on his cheerleading squad.", now you see bullying has caused innocent people with bright futures to kill themselves just because they do as what there dreams are set for. So what if he was in the cheerleading squad? I bet he was standing up for what he loved, and due to what he loved, it ended up with his life. I wonder how his family is feeling, it's so tragic what happened.
At the end of the day, bullying is a nationwide problem. It can't be stopped, yet we can prevent it. We can stand up for what's right, and make all the actions we can to beat the system. No life's should be lost because of bullying. Not at all. We can just keep them in our prayers to one day be able to fully stop bullying.
