Bronny James faces nasty comments on social media over prom date

As the son of basketball superstar LeBron James, Bronny James is no stranger to the limelight. Yet, as a high schooler, he faced criticism and negative comments on social media after posting photos with his prom date.

According to a report by BET, some of the comments disparaged Bronny’s date’s appearance and questioned his choice. Criticism on social media is not new, but cyberbullying can have real and significant psychological effects on victims.

As a writer and member of the media, it’s important to not only report on stories like this but also to recognize the impact of negative comments on social media. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable and can have devastating consequences.

Bronny is a young man who deserves to enjoy his high school experiences, like prom, without facing the cruelty of strangers on the internet. Regardless of our opinions on his date or any aspect of his life, we should all strive to create a world where cyberbullying is not tolerated.
