even thou i do not approve of stomp... as a matter of fact. if the
online ramblings of kids were paid more attention to, then
disregarded, the mass shootings in the US schools and the HK
stabbing incident would have avoided.
Actually, I'm more afraid that if we give these online ramblers
the attention they want, we just end up having attention-seeking
monkeys trying to imitate them.
Even so, some of these people have no one to talk to about the
issues they are facing and the only way they could ask for help is
to post something exaggerated online, hoping that some
strangers would give him the attention that he or she needs. They
don't go to school counsellors because most would just convey what
is said to their parents and teachers - something these kids want
to avoid.
What I would suggest is that instead of ignoring or feeding them
unnecessary attention, simply recommend them to call counselling
hotlines or chat up with online counsellors. Those counsellors
would probably give better advice than most of us here could, and
these people would feel much more comfortable discussing about
their issues privately and anonymously.
