Media reports earlier this month cited an anonymous Brown "insider" claimed Watson was "bullied out" of the prominent Providence Rhode Island university.
There was a statement posted on Watson's website Friday indicating that she was taking a semester off from school this spring and it had absolutely "nothing to do with bullying." Watson stated that she was never bullied at Brown or anywhere else.
Watson has been made famous by her role as Hermione Granger in the popular "Harry Potter" movies. She proclaimed that she was not certain what her plans are for the fall semester, her third year at the school. She says that, like many other Brown students, she is thinking about studying abroad.
Information that is cited anonymously is not always accurate. This is a good example of taking pause to examine the facts before jumping to conclusions. If Ms. Watson was indeed bullied, we hope she has not suffered the tremendous emotional stress that comes with being a victim of bullying. Anonymity is important in society. Disclosure of private or personal matters relating to a highly visible superstars are common. Defamation and hearsay are also common. However, as they say- "where there is smoke there is fire." Silent Sender believes it is everyone's inherent right to anonymous speech. The ability to send an anonymous message or reveal information anonymously should always be balanced with careful thought before taking action.

ReplyDeleteProbably yes it work for Ms. Watson and that's so lucky of her, many individuals cannot stand being bullied and thus sometimes makes them act or react to the situation negatively. Still bullying is not right and it should be stop.
DeleteThe best thing to do when a person bullies you, is not to mind the person. Nice read on your article. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. But really I'm not in favor of bullying. This situation is very rampant. And it's not good with the child or teen's psychology.
ReplyDeleteBullying can result to low self esteem. I don't like bully people.
ReplyDeleteBullying will result to low self-confidence for some but bullying works with those strong personality people because they aim to work hard and find a way to become successful and get out from the bullying, just like what Emma Watson did. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThe ability to send anonymous messages should not used in detrimental ways, instead it should be should responsibly.It must be used for the goods of many not for destruction.
ReplyDeleteI agree. With great power comes great responsibility.
DeleteAnonymous senders who bullied or send malicious messages to shame others are the works of cowards.
ReplyDeleteYes. Bullying in all forms is shameful. However people still need a way to communicate without the fear of reprisal. One should not have to fear making their opinion known.
DeleteMaking opinion known when it it will not hurt other people are really good, especially if it will help many people, that one should not be feared about.
DeleteI don't understand why there are individuals who really love to bully other people. Probably they have been bullied too or does it runs in the gene?
ReplyDeleteEmma truly is a strong person because even though she is being bullied, she is still strong enough to do good with herself. Bullying generally can affect the confidence of most individuals.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering what is the purpose of this anonymous insider telling about the past life of Ms Watson that is being bullied. Is this to offer inspiration to others or what?
