The thing is, the general negative mood displayed on yikyak also effects cadets and other students. DS's mood has definitely changed this year from one of intense passion for his senior military college experience to one of trying to rise above the general negativity and vulgarity, the LACK of passion for anything except finding a drink or someone to "cuddle." Maybe that's how college always was, but you could avoid the negative people more easily in the past just by choosing your friends wisely. Now it's more like you almost have to go on yikyak because SOMEbody has to counter all the negativity with positive messages.
It kills me, for example, when a cadet is named on yikyak. It's never for something nice or good.
This sort of thing would never happen at my place of business where adults work. So why are our "adult" kids still bullying, still saying stupid stuff about parties, underage drinking, drunk driving, buying alcohol for underage people, and naming people who "cuddle"? Because it's anonymous, and they think they can get away with saying anything. Wrong. Just so you know, yikyak knows who you are. They keep your IP address and location on file.
Don't be stupid.
