One of my favourite ways to relax is reading magazines (I save the trashy romance novels for holidays). So there I was, winding down on a Friday evening (feeling very proud of myself having figured out how to design and add a banner to this blog!) only to come across an article in Grazia that confirmed my worst fears.... creating a blog and 'putting yourself out there' is going to open the door to potential abuse.
I'm not just talking criticism either - I mean FULL ON nasty comments.....
I'd like to say I'm shocked - but I'm not really. It saddens me that there are so many rude and nasty people in the world with nothing better to do than upset others. However I have to say, through my own experiences as both student and teacher, there is nearly always some underlying reason for individuals behaving in this way.
I am not naive to the awfulness that surrounds us but I have wised up to the fact that I should just ignore it and enjoy my own life. So - what will I do if this happens to me? First of all direct them to this post and then delete...delete...delete!
