Is it INSECURITY?

I have a student who always wears a smile in her face whenever I see her. She possesses beauty and brain; she actually joins in competitions that highlight both brain and body. She belongs to the class assigned to my guidance. Together with her classmates, I can perform well since they carry with them their uniqueness and are all willing to share their talents whenever time calls. Although, I cannot say that I completely know her fully within a mere ten months linked by our teacher-student relationship but in that range, I learned what she is capable of doing.

Inside the classroom, there is always a barrier between the students and us teachers but outside the room, we are all friends and always throw jokes whenever there is a chance. Now that I can no longer enter their class, there are moments when I am wishing that time would permit me to at least, see them.

Anyhow, one day when I opened my Facebook to check if someone added me or if there are notifications, a name that is familiar to me sends me a friend request. The name is actually the name of the girl I was talking earlier. This girl is already a friend so in my mind are questions needing answers. My initial action was not to approve the request but instead send a message to her via FB message, asking if she created a new account.

While waiting for her reply, I viewed the profile of this account and I was actually shocked with all her posts, if she were a stranger, I would think that she is too vulgar to post pornographic materials in her wall. The same is true with the information provided about herself, it is as if she is selling her body for others satisfaction.

After few seconds I received her response telling me she has not created a dummy account. Actually, even without her reply yet I knew already that it was not her. She respects herself to post those scandalous photos. I reported the account to be copying a friend and blocked it finally.

A conclusion sinks and that incident simply suggests that there are those people living full of insecurities in their lives. I was thinking of reasons why someone would want to leave scratches in the life of this good student of mine. In addition, it is via Facebook, a very powerful tool to mislead other people. What was intriguing is that the copycat knows many important and trivial things about her. It goes to show that she knows this copycat of her and is just envious of her qualities.

Truly, in this world there are those who think badly that will do evil things behind the back of someone who cannot even defend and fight fair. There are those who acts friendly yet only wants somebody to fall in wasteland. Some performs foul without thinking of the effects their actions may offer.

I was furious since she is a dear friend. I do not want my treasured comrades to be treated that way. It is a fact that in this world there is always a battle we need to face. However, no one can win a battle when he/she is unaware of the fight. No one wants to lose, and I cling to that. After all, we are all FIGHTERS. Am I right?
