Is it just me that gets annoyed by the emotional blackmail used? I expect I will have to get my flameproof suit on after posting this reply:-

So if I don't share I'm not against bullying? I have worn glasses since I was 11 so I know how it can be and have all sympathy for this girl and others however, sharing it will achieve nothing and I really dislike the emotional blackmail of the implication that you are a bad person if you don't share. Personally I think the creator of the image has to be questionable, attempting to emotionally blackmail as many people as possible - ironically it's a power-trip........just like bullying.

So what do you think, am I being a bit harsh or are there others that feel the way I do?


 
Totally agree. My daughter used to get really upset with the ones that would ask her to share or something bad would happen. I'd just tell them to F off.
 
Not that bothered because I don't follow the sheep and do what 'told' but yes,mthen are emotional blackmail I suppose and they do get boring!
 
I don't get why so many of my friends share this crap. I once called a mate of mine out about it, he said that he'd not thought about it, he'd just shared it. It worries me that people, otherwise considered intelligent and responsible, are so eager to pass on such tripe just to stopothers thinking ill of them, especially as no one other than one's self can know if one has read the post.


 
If I agree with the sentiment I will sometimes repost - but leave out the "pass it on" bit.
 
I never repost anything that uses phrases like -

I bet you don't have the guts to pass this on
I've reposted this but 99.999999999999% of people won't
If you don't repost this you are gay

Okay I made the last one up and I definitely would repost if it said I was gay if I didn't because I am not gay all right, so don't even say I am yeah!!!!
 
I never even notice these sorts of posts on facebook anymore. Never have and never will partake in any sort of sharing or even commenting on it. It literally is the most pointless thing.
