“The Buzz!” of ABS-CBN, takes on bullying on the net translated by “The Buzz!” as “paninira“, or, in particular, cyberbullying on Twitter.

shot Oct. 30, thank you to “The Buzz!” production team for their patience, i had cramps that day. Thanks thanks! And thank you also to the hosts for the upbeat intro and voice-over!
A good empirical study to make, too, is: What sort of people engage in bullying or “paninira” in the internet? those that don’t involve public interest or issues. – A psychological- profile- sort- of- study. We could probably ask the psychologists: My theory is that, those who engage in this (bullying, paninira in the internet) have low self-esteem. Just a theory — Let’s ask our friends in psych. (i probably read that somewhere, it’s not even original, or my siblings who’ve worked in the psych ward probably mentioned it in a conversation, or sumthin’) What is the cause of low self-esteem? — i don’t know, it’s probably complicated, ask the psychologists! (criminals however are another matter). Thank god it’s Friday! Happy weekend, y’all!

Some people simply have loose screws in their heads. But I agree that “low esteem” is a big factor. These individuals feel insecure and they want to assert a sense of power by hitting others through the social media. In a sense, the movie “Social Media” reveals this dark side of FaceBook creator Mark Zuckerberg. He posted a nasty comment about a girl who jilted him in the early version of what later evolved into FaceBook.
I’m not a psych, by the way. It’s just my take on the issue.
