Internet Trolls: How to Politely School an Internet Troll on Social Media

We all have our own opinions, that’s what makes us unique and beautiful in our own way.

We’re at an age where social media is a platform that allows us to spread our opinion quickly . For many of us, visiting social media platforms are a part of our daily routine. It’s a great way to keep in contact with your family and friends.

But we also need to understand that there are people who do not use social media the same way as you or me. To some, social media can also be used to raise awareness for important causes. To others, it can also be used to spread hate.

Here are the responses our experts gave on how to have a civilized conversation and keep trolling under bridges where it belongs:
