Passing on life’s important lessons

There is a nine-year old girl making news right now for er, breaking news. She’s just nine and she wants to be a reporter. Recently she reported from outside the scene of a murder where she interviewed the police and the neighbours.

There is a whole lot of grief out there about this young girl – how dare she pose as a journalist when she has no experience and has never studied, how can she be reporting outside a murder scene when she is so young, why is she so precocious. Gosh she’s even getting trolled by haters. Yes, you read that right, she’s nine-years-old and she’s getting hate mail.

Now for all the people that would say (as they smoke their pipes and shoo kids off their front lawn) “back in my day 9-year olds would play at the park after riding their bikes 2km down the road”, times have changed. We have to deal with it because it’s not all bad.

Remember the days we had to devote a day to washing clothes because we never had washing machines? Remember when people left the country and we could never speak to them again because long distance calls were too expensive or people simply never had phones? Remember when we didn’t have seat belts in cars and people died in accidents at a much higher rate? Remember when we didn’t have cochlear implants and some kids never got a chance to hear? Remember when there were no vaccinations and people died of smallpox? Progression is real and it’s often really very good.

These days kids play with mobile phones. And sometimes they report on stuff just like mini journalists (the little girl at the centre of the story is the daughter of a journalist herself). One has to wonder why then should she be subjected to hate mail.

She’s NINE.

There is a lesson that has taken me too long to learn but since I have mastered it I think it’s my duty to pass it on. If you don’t like what you see – move past it. Close the book, skip on to the next page, click away.

I have muted the people whose opinions on Facebook continue to upset me – the racists, the anti-vaxxers, the cure-cancer-without-medical-help people no longer appear in my Facebook feed, I no longer subscribe to websites that continue to degrade women and pull people down, when everyone commented on how atrocious the 6 reasons not to vote for Waleed Aly article was I refused to read it. It doesn’t mean I don’t know about issues or that I pretend racism doesn’t exist or people aren’t dickheads, I know all that – I just refuse to get caught up in it.

And while I sometimes stray and read stuff that makes my blood boil or that stirs my tears I know that nothing good will ever come out of hurling abuse at the writer. Nothing. Ever. When you start abusing a child for her videos or a writer for their opinion it speaks more about you then it speaks about the person you are throwing stones at.

And nothing that says is good.

Imagine how horrified you would be if you heard a nine-year old child was being abused online. Then think about this
