Emotional/Verbal abuse. One "tack" may not hurt/kill you, but a thousand or more just might.

Me in my last group assignment

This has nothing to do with "modern society." This is just the human condition, now on cell phones.

A lot of Bored Pandas would be the girl on the right...

Yelling at your child for bad grades isn't the answer. Understanding that your child isn't Einstein and helping them with things they find difficult, is.

Didn't notice the broken noose in the background, at first.

The artist is Japanese so it's not about social media, it's about idols. Idols in Japan are a very specific type of entertainer and they all have to portray a certain ideology to fit in/be liked. The "real" girl here is just playing the idol game and trying to beat it, hence the game controller.

It is not like that for everyone. I am much happier as an adult!

This was often me, people would go and the rare times they’d ask me to hang out I couldn’t because I had gotten a B on an assignment and mother wanted an A...

This is the cute version of Lord of the Flies...

This one actually made me cry...

I'm almost sure I'm missing the meaning, but this one seems to be pretty nice and relatively happy. Personally a room full of books and animals sounds like a good alternative to the real world.

I had the chance to grow up with a mother that helped us learning our lessons and make sure we could have remedial teaching when lost, while she never pressured us for good grades. Just made sure we did our best.

This does, for me, not quite fit in this series... Everything else seems to criticize society, abuse, rules or bad character traits. This is just life, and does neither.

Looks more like a boy who never told her how he felt & regretted it.

The heart is on the other side

Looks more like pulling on heartstrings

Marriage is overrated

It can also relate to the fact that perhaps there is a triangle of love but one wins the hand of the other but the one that wasn't chosen's heart still beats for that person and always will. I've been there, I know and I was the one that was not chosen.... I've moved on but I don't forget!

I love this one. Been there and learned - if alive, don't even think about giving up.

Brilliant. I love this one.....thinking differently

:(

The picture of love, money , good food, plenty to eat and drink and a wonderful house is not what life is for 90% of the people of the world.

I hate so called "pranks"

Back breaking work

oh my god i can relate...

When the right people get sad, everyone cares. When the "wrong" people do, no one does.

This is why I don't have Instagram or use Twitter...Facebook only to keep in touch with friends and family living far away. Best decision I made after I realized how much time I was spending on SM.

Physical, psychological, financial abuse takes its toll. Self harm too...

I think this is someone protecting their inner child.

1000 of flower wasted just for a picture, trying so hard to look good on fb,insta...

you think someone is beautiful at first, but their really a horrible person

Got Friend Zoned...

Forced marriages, child brides, unfortunately still goes on all over the world.

I once read something that made me pause and broke through the suicidal thoughts in my head. It simply said "Suicide doesn't end the pain. It just passes it on" ex) the family and friends you leave behind.

This is me. Please don't look at me or try to talk to me. I'm fine. Really.

I hate it when people say cyberbullying isn't real. Just because it's behind a screen doesn't make it any less significant. If someone sent you a picture of your dog being brutally murdered, would you shrug it off because it's on your phone?

This is horrible and it is more horrible to find out that this crime is still very strong in Vietnam and China

That's how I feel when I mess up

too many possibilities to fail

I will be downvoted for this. The illustration would make more sense if it showed an animal that's hunted for "sport" only (trophies), and not for food. The populations of wild animals such as deer and elk are tracked very carefully, and limits are set accordingly each year. Responsible hunters abide by these limits, respect the habitat, and use the meat to help feed themselves and their families. Hunters who are after trophies only are irresponsible pieces of s**t who have no respect for nature, and are the ones we should be targeting.

This is exactly how it is! I was/am a good child and it so hard to break out of that.

Perfect illustration of what's happening in the US!

The biggest and most common lie.

Been there. Done that... many times.

100% true. Alcohol is a drug.

Even if the comfort is temporary.

How I felt my entire childhood at school.

"Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words leave psychological wounds that never heal."

I like how the one on the left had to tear the thorns off the stem before giving the flower to the girl - he sacrificed more it seems, than the one on the right.

If mirror doesn't show what you want to see...

There are days I dream of this-- I wish I was a separate person so I could beat the c**p out of myself.

Tbh I think this needs a trigger warning..):

Oh damn, this hit hard
