Unfortunately, online bullying is not a new phenomenon, those who may suffer from it are, among others, the famous celebrities who, as part of being such, receive countless reviews - which sometimes can be really, really irrelevant.
Another voice that joined the warnings about the effects that social media can have on the mental health of children is that of
Julia Roberts
.
The acclaimed actress reveals an old interview in which she shares her experience with social media and her concerns about how it can become a dangerous arena, especially for young girls.
She talks about a photo she uploaded in the past with her niece and the much criticism she "received" due to her teenage appearance (we fly over her in any accumulation situation).

"I posted a picture of my niece and I after a weekend together, we had a beautiful morning and I felt great," says Roberts in an interview from Harper's Bazaar that has been republished, but things seem to have taken a turn soon.
"The amount of people who felt the need to talk about how awful I look in the picture - that I'm not aging well, people who said, 'God, I didn't even recognize her, is that what she looks like?'" she continued.

Among other things, she expands on the subject and says that such people are everywhere, and they can be horrible and cruel, and this despite the fact that she herself read talkbacks in which people argue among themselves about the comments towards her and whether it is even legitimate to criticize the appearance in such a way.
"The fights that break out there where someone says 'You should be nice' and they reply 'Why should I be nice, she looks terrible'," she says and adds: "I was amazed at what it made me feel, and I am a 50-year-old woman and I know who I am and still, the feelings Mine - I was so hurt that people couldn't see the taste in it, the sweetness in it, the sheer joy of this shot."
Roberts realized that if she was so affected by the comments, then younger women and girls would probably be affected more aggressively.
"I thought, God, what if I was 15?"
Says, "It's just devastating. It really made me see all these things of hearts, clicks and likes and you realize that there is something neurological in this whole system. I think it taught me a lot about being a young person in today's society."
