Hey everyone! Today I am just going to be sharing a few things about this new app called Sarahah. If you have a social media account, odds are you have already come across this apps name and have been wondering what it is.
Essentially, you can make a profile in this app and other people (whether they are users of the app or not) can give you anonymous comments and ask you anonymous questions. You do have the option to change your privacy settings so only people who use the app can leave comments, and you can make it so your profile is only available to whoever you choose to share it with.
However, having said that, this app sounds like a terrible idea. In reality the only reason you would use this app is in the hopes that people will leave you anonymous compliments (do you really need the empty flattery?) or so people can ask you questions about your life. (Because who doesn't enjoy informing people they don't know about themselves? That doesn't sound like your inviting stalkers into your life for no reason other than to have someone to talk to.)
On another note, you are more likely to get negative comments than positive ones. Is this guessing on my part? Yes it is. But seriously people, this is the internet we are talking about. Why open yourself up to the potential to be cyber bullied? Do you really need anyone else's voice in your head telling you that you aren't good enough as you go to sleep at night? To me this app just seems like a lot more trouble than it's worth and if you are a parent I urge you to stop your kids from making a profile with sarahah. The last thing you will want is people who do or don't personally know your child leaving them comments that could potentially rip their self esteem to shreds.
