I have personally experienced offensive images, texts and other internet-sites with racist content. I myself am a person who minds if people post things like that on the internet and find it important to report it. You can actually even report it to sites such as http://www.acorn.gov.au/ if you see something that should not be on the internet like racism, pages and images that abuse children, other people and other internet sites that can be illegal.
So it is very important to press report you see offensive comments or other things on the internet. I have reported comments I have seen on YouTube myself for example.

Tom and his sites
My friend Tom had a contact with offensive contest on the Internet.
Firstly, he thought that it was disgusting but after a few times on websites like this, he started to get interested in self-injuring, suiciding and torturing animals. After one year of his strange behaviour his mother tried to talk with him but he said that everything was OK. “I am only a little stressed by school”, he said.
When his mother saw scars on his arms, she called for a psychologist. It took him two years to treat Tom with a special therapy. Fortunately, it helped.

I can see the other students laugh and have a great time during the breaks in school. They speak loud
and running through the hallways. Me otherwise have nobody. Everybody are looking at me but its
like i’m invisible for them. The only time someone is speaking to me is when they want to offend me
or make me defend another person´s actions.
Hanna is 13 years old. The only reason why she is alone is because she belongs to another religion.
The other students don’t know her but they have seen a lot hatepages and news about the religion on
the internet. So therefore they don’t like her. They trust that a facebook group knows which people
who are good or not instead of actually talk to her or somebody else that have a different faith.
When did the social media get the power to judge and discriminate people?

Annas' story
Anna, a 15 years old teenager, had an internet affair with an unknown friend in facebook.
Everyday Anna would come home from school in order to talk to him.
At first it started as a distant relationship which offered her self confidence and companionship.
But one day her boyfriend started calling her fat and ugly and told her that he would find a pretty girl that is pretty,nothing like her.
Anna fell into a deep depression. She could not stand this situation and she started self injuries and very austere diets. After two weeks she managed to lose so much weight and in the same time self injuries was a routine for her.
After one month of all the self-harm and strict diets her parents addressed the situation to an expert so as to try and avoid the worst.
