There are many things happening in my country, but from time to time events arrive from more distant places, like Spain, for example. Two news stories are trending there, although I think one has overshadowed the other. Moroccan immigrants swimming to the Iberian coasts, and the bullying episode of three girls against a fourth in Huelva.
I believe there is information about the context of the latter that hasn’t all been shared. The truth is it doesn’t even matter whether all the information is provided, unless of course the teenager in question is an excellent actress and also has a twisted mind. If that’s not the case, then we should pay more attention to our children and to ourselves.
Yes, because bullying may arise in the school and social environment, but what if within the family there are also patterns to follow from some dominant figure?
This is what I eat and see every day, it doesn’t seem wrong for me to do it too
This has existed before. It’s not old, we’ve all lived it in one way or another, from one side or the other. Today social networks amplify it, they may even enhance it. I’m afraid that at any moment we might see even more serious crimes, live on Instagram or Facebook.
Humiliation seems to be a delicious dish for humanity. The way those girls enjoyed the scolding and blows they themselves inflicted on the other seemed diabolical to me. One of them even clapped as if she were watching a show at the circus or in a sports arena.
What is happening, my friends? Or have we officially admitted that deep down we are ruthless beasts. I am about to stop opening my social networks, or at least confine their use only to commercial purposes. There are too many books to read to be wasting my time on that.
