Yes There's nothing wrong with outgrowing relationships, but purposely excluding someone from a party, group text, lunch table, or conversation can make them feel isolated and alone. Before excluding someone from a group or activity, consider how it might make them feel. If you are excluding them just to keep them out of a clique, it might be a good time to rethink your motivations. Back No Sounds like you’re a supportive person! It's normal for relationships to evolve and change, and sometimes there’s pressure from others to leave someone out.

A custom eye emoji was launched yesterday as part of the #IAmAWitness movement, which was introduced late last year to take a stand against online bullying. The idea is that when online users witness bullying they can comment using the emoji to let the bully and victim know the event has not gone unnoticed. In addition to the new emoji, Facebook also announced today it will be adding an option for people who want to report abuse on their own page or through third-party apps. " The campaign aims to activate the silent majority of kids who witness it each day, and empower them to use the eye emoji and additional creative assets to speak up, be a friend and reject bullying,” the Ad Council said.
