Perks of being a FANGIRL

Unexpected Perks Of Being A Fangirl

A fangirl is a female fan who supports her idol. The idol may be a dancer, a singer or an actor. She shows her dedication to her idol by supporting all of his or her activities, buying their merchandise, watching him or her perform onstage and by sending him letters. There are many causes why a normal girl would become a fangirl. 

• You become socially and culturally aware.

Fangirls have built this intricate network through social media sites such as Twitter and Tumblr. This is where these girls, from everywhere across the globe, get to know one another. They discuss everything, from music to body image to whatever is happening in their personal lives. It is amazing how much you can learn about a culture or region through a few short exchanges among fangirls. 

• Support.

The amount of love, support, and encouragement from the fangirl community is second to none! They've created such a safe space for one another. Your fellow fangirl is always there when you need advice, someone to vent to, or just someone to freak with. 

• Female empowerment.

For some unfathomable reason, young girls are often berated for the things that they like. Bands, movies, and TV shows get written off because a majority of their fans are young girls. Why? What is so bad about being a female fan? Why aren't we allowed to be passionate about things? Nobody complains, or even questions it, when men legitimately fight each other over their favorite sports teams.

• You become pretty well-traveled.

Fangirls will show up and show out! They will travel miles and miles and to multiple locations to see their favorite things. You meet so many people and go to places you never thought you would all because of something that you love. Fan meet-ups are planned, conversations are had, and new friends are made.

• You literally have friends all around the world.

The connections you make with each other is one-of-a-kind. These friendships are born out of a common interest and are often started on social media. Before you know it, you exchange numbers and are planning on meeting up in real life. It's nice to be able to say that you have friends on other continents and that their couches are always open to you. 

• There is never a lack of creativity.

Fandoms are full of insanely talented people! There are writers, sketch artists, singers, music producers, comedians, seamstresses, everything under the sun. Fangirls, the savvy humans that they are, see their opportunity and put their creations out for the world to see. These women use their connections to create businesses and make a profit. Fanfiction is being published and turned into movies. These creators are being recognized and written about in respected publications. Some of them run major brand-sponsored social media accounts. Fangirls are doing it big these days. Believe them when they say that being a fangirl is a full-time job.

Tips to Stop Cyberbullying

Don’t respond. If someone bullies you, remember that your reaction is usually exactly what the bully wants. It gives him or her power over you. Who wants to empower a bully?

Don’t retaliate. Getting back at the bully turns you into one and reinforces the bully’s behavior. Help avoid a whole cycle of aggression.

Save the evidence. The only good news about digital bullying is that the harassing messages can usually be captured, saved, and shown to someone who can help. You need to do this even if it’s minor stuff, in case things escalate.

Talk to a trusted adult. You deserve backup. It’s always good to involve a parent but – if you can’t – a school counselor usually knows how to help. Sometimes both are needed. If you’re really nervous about saying something, see if there’s a way to report the incident anonymously at school.

Block the bully. If the harassment’s coming in the form of instant messages, texts, or profile comments, do yourself a favor: Use preferences or privacy tools to block the person. If it’s in chat, leave the “room.”

Be civil. Even if you don’t like someone, it’s a good idea to be decent and not sink to the other person’s level. Also, research shows that gossiping about and trash talking others increases your risk of being bullied. Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Don’t be a bully. How would you feel if someone harassed you? You know the old saying about walking a mile in someone’s shoes; even a few seconds of thinking about how another person might feel can put a big damper on aggression. That’s needed in this world.

Be a friend, not a bystander. Watching or forwarding mean messages empowers bullies and hurts victims even more. If you can, tell bullies to stop or let them know harassment makes people look stupid and mean. It’s time to let bullies know their behavior is unacceptable – cruel abuse of fellow human beings. If you can’t stop the bully, at least try to help the victim and report the behavior.

Noise noise noise

                 Different kinds of NOISE in communication

Noise in communication is something that keeps a receiver from completely comprehending a message. Distractions can inhibit a person from offering his undivided attention and may keep him from fully grasping what you are trying to say. These disturbances guarantee that the receiver will either misinterpret your information or not understand it at all.

Psychological Noise

Psychological noise can be more difficult to define in a particular situation, as the mental makeup of every person is different. This type of noise includes concepts like prejudices, narrow-mindedness and personal bias. Communication can also be difficult if a person is feeling very emotional -- anger, sadness and even joy can affect how much someone can pay attention to a conversation or lecture.
                                                              
                                                     

Physical Noise

Sometimes the biggest impediment to clear communication is everyday environmental noise. This can include loud passersby, music (think talking over a band at a concert), traffic or children playing. Even a simple phone ringing can distract a listener so that she cannot fully focus on a conversation. Other physical conditions that can hinder communication are physical illness, being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or being tired.

Semantic Noise  

Semantic noise affects communication when people communicate from different playing fields. In other words, they are working from different understandings, such as different primary languages, dialects or basic cultural characteristics. Poor handwriting and using slang can also be semantic noises that complicate effective communication..
