View Full Version : Cyber bullying...

So there's this app (not saying what it's called)
You think it would be a nice app, considering it features and all....think again.
I've been mocked, called names, laughed at, and worse.
And all I'm trying to do is be nice and make friends.
I made about 3 friends. 2 stayed my friends, 1 turned their back on me and joined the bully crowd.
One time, I wrote down a sentence, and I couldn't figure out how to say it better. Next thing I know that sentence was screen shotted and posted, and people were laughing at me.
Here are some things people said to me:
"you keep posting like this, begging for out attention, if you don't like us you should just leave, but I bet you would say that you would but never actually leave"
"This chick is just begging me to harass her. If you can't handle us, then why the **** are you still here? You must be one pathetic, socially deprived child if you're desperate enough to have to seek attention through the internet."
"your boyfriend must think you are ugly as ****"
"Oh, so you're one of those report ****, thanks for letting us know, flagged ;D"
I've also had a certain person spam every single one of my posts with either just a "." a rude comment, or a creepy picture.
Same thing with PM's. I've got plenty of hate mail.
Also, whenever I ask these people to stop, I just get called names again, and it continues.
Sorry for not being nice enough. Just saying, I have so many disorders and there's tons of things that set my triggers off. (did that make sense?) I already dropped out of public school because of bullies, but now this?? What next...

You shouldn't take it too personally. A lot of people on the internet say things that they would never say to a stranger in real life cos they don't have the guts. Perhaps these people are bossed/bullied around every day so they write hurtful comments to feel better about themselves. Its quite pathetic actually. So no worries! ;)

It just upsets me that people keep calling me names and telling me to leave or go die or something :/

If it's just one app then you could just delete that app and talk to the people that you made friends with somewhere else?

This post sums things up nicely. They most likely have difficulties in real life, so they take their frustration out online. As Teejay said, it's really quite pathetic, and the best course of action is simply to delete that app and not to go back on it again. If you didn't give them any information about yourself, then they will have no way of following you.
Cyber bullying is for cowards. Bullying itself is for those with insecurities. Therefore cyber bullying is made up of insecure cowards. I know what it's like to be targeted online, and I urge you to just leave while you can, and not to give out any personal details to strangers. Don't get caught up with these people; they are honestly not worth one second of your time.

I agree. even in forums like this I occasionally come across people who seem to make it a hobby or stress reliever to pick on people etc.
The only thing you can do is to ignore them and move on.
Like mentioned, people who bully on line are cowards.
They spend so much time just to send you blank messages and creepy pictures...its pathetic.
It seems that you are aware that people can trigger your disorders, so protect yourself by deleting the app and ignoring them.
Your health is more valuable than trying to win over such losers.

Don't take it to heart. I'm sure you are way better than this. If you're sure its cyber-bullying, I suggest contacting CEOP immediately.

People who bully over the internet are generally cowards and often get bullied themselves, that's why they take it out on people who can't exactly fight back. Please don't take it all to heart, I'm sure none of it is true. You won't have to worry about any of that happening here, this is an accepting and welcoming community and the staff does all that we can to make sure that bullying does not occur at any time.

Happened to me on one site. The mods didn't care, so I just ignored it and quit.
What they say is shit. Remember that.

Like others have said, dont take it to the heart. These people probably have low self asteem and take it out on you. Also, they know you are going to have a reaction, and thats another reason why your a target. Dont respond. Just leave it alone. It will aventually go away. Best of luck :)

Don`t losten to what those "Bullies" have said. As metioned by everybody else, these people are just cowards. If the bullying is so bad, why not just delete the application? You have better things to do than deal with people like these.

This is definitely not okay.
You should print out the evidence and contact your authorities or an adult. This should not be happening, and definitely should be stopped. Maybe contact the developers of the app and you can get help from there?
Good luck and I am sorry this ever happened to you.

Don't listen to those people, just kinda put it behind your back, You should not care what people think about, and if they do hate you well then screw them.

I'm really sorry that this is happening to you :( I know people here are telling you to ignore them and to not take it to heart, but it sucks. It really does. It would be hard to not take it personally, I know. Just remember that YOU are better than them. Youre not a coward, and you have demonstrated that by asking for help. Yay for you :) I suggest that you just delete the app. It's obviously having a hugely negative effect on you. I hope you're ok :)

People on the internet tend to be over the age of 40, very obese, and live with their parents. So I would suggest to not worry about their opinions.

I couldn't agree more.

I personally think cyber-bullying is worse than physical bullying. While through the internet, nobody can hurt you physically, it means they are too cowardly to speak to your face. Really, ignore them. What do they know? They don't even actually know you. If they are being mean, think about the people you care for and that care for you. They're not worth your notice if they can't respect you when you've done nothing to them.

Heh, any of these people told you to "go die" to your face? Better yet, can any of these people even tell you your middle name? No? Well then I guess they just got no clue what they're talking about when they mess with you. The way I see it, if they hate your guts, you never really needed 'em anyway. Don't fight back if nobody's backing you up, but don't let 'em know they're getting to you. Show 'em just how capable you are of pushing through just as strong as ever. And never, ever, let someone who doesnt even know your full name, get you down.
