The Hater Epidemic

Yesterday, I signed onto facebook and the first status I see is this:
If you're grown I'm [going to] need you to take the term "hater" out of your serious vocab. Joking with friends is cool, but if you're serious and every other status has "hater" in it you need to grow up and focus on more important things, like what YOU are doing with your adult life.

If you aren't grown, disregard this message ...and continue with your day. Lol
 I couldn't agree any more. It's like she took the thoughts right out of my head. I really thought I was the only who felt that way.

For a while now I've  been wondering why the use of the term "hater" has been so prevalent. Seriously, why are people so concerned about their "haters?" And why are they a topic of discussion if they're hating on you? The whole topic just seems so elementary to me.
