I feel that many of today’s mental issues are the result of problems caused by social media, especially regarding the younger generation. If someone is upset by what is said to or about them then do not participate. I realise that I am of the generation who have not been brought up with social media outlets but it does seem a simple answer to me. If someone wants to disrespect me they have to do it to my face, now that is a different ball game. Those people who do it via a keyboard are cowards and will not do it face to face. Therefore, if you are not on these outlets you will not receive the insults and abuse. A simple remedy to my mind.

I participate regularly on this forum but if I was on the receiving end of continual abuse then I would cease to post on here. Differing opinions are fine, as long as they are aired in a respectful manner.
