Popular Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim has revealed why she is always reluctant to engage on Twitter.
In a post on her Twitter page, the actress explained that she has always been reluctant to actively engage on Twitter due to the prevalence of attacks, insults, and cyberbullying that she often comes across while scrolling through her timeline.
She expressed her belief that Twitter could be more enjoyable for individuals like herself if users learned to differentiate between expressing opinions and engaging in harmful bullying behavior. Juliet Ibrahim emphasized the importance of promoting a kinder and more respectful online conversation style.
The actress wrote; “I’ve always been very reluctant to actively use Twitter because so many times I’ll scroll and all I’ll see are attacks, insults, and bullying on my timeline, not only to me but even on the timeline of others. I think Twitter will be more exciting to people like myself that flee from cyberbullying when Twitter users learn to distinguish between sharing opinions and engaging in bullying, by promoting a kinder online conversation style.”

“People in today’s digital age frequently encounter numerous personal obstacles and struggles. So, when people seek solace or entertainment online, they may intend to share a joke, watch videos, or engage in lighthearted discussion.”
“However, for some unfortunate souls, the experience is ruined by the presence of internet bullies. Cyberbullying has become a severe problem affecting mental health and well-being. Let’s learn to be kind to one another in our utterances because we do not know what people are dealing with personally.”
’’Constant exposure to online bullying can be harmful to people and it adds another layer of stress to their already difficult lives. They are subjected to cruel insults, harassment, and intimidation instead of finding refuge and entertainment. Cyberbullying can have serious implications, causing emotional and psychological discomfort and leading to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.”
’’Everyone deserves the freedom to engage in online activities without being subjected to the harmful impacts of cyberbullying.” Juliet Ibrahim concluded.
