Bullying

[green]

ok so i commented on someones status on facebook tonight. it was about how the year 6s are so slutty and dont act thier age. and i made the comment of you act your age lol. then i sit there and get yelled at by 3 people as i calmy explain to them how i think that she is being hypocritical. see she is a bit of a bully and has bashed some people. and I said that its not acting your age to bash someone. and then i have people threatening to bash me. i was just saying how i think that she was being a bit hypocritical and then i have her making status's like "like this if you think harry(me) is a nerd!!!" and her friends giving me shit because i read manga and how i need to stay the fuck out of her life. if it none of my buisness she shouldnt put it on facebook or add me as a friend. After I realized they were getting worked up i deleted the comments and her as a friend. how do you think i handled this and do you think i am in the wrong?

Girls and boys alike seem to be very addicted to updating Facebook with their personal lives because they have this common urge to have people know what's going on in their minds. Often times it is a rather silly thing to do because most people do NOT CARE what they are saying. And, of course, she shouldn't have updated knowing it was going to cause controversy but that is also a common reason. People love the drama and online drama has become very very popular.

You shouldn't have responded knowing it would cause drama but it's human nature to act against what you should do. You could have deleted your post. She should have deleted the entire thing. And it all became an online-bully-fest.

I think you did the right thing, it's best not to rise to nonsence like that, believe me.
Trouble is with people like her, her 'friends' in reality will often just be hiding behind her, either in fear of her turning on them, or so other people don't mess with them.
She's clearly immature, and has no idea how to behave, probably has her own insecurites/problems so it's best to rise above it and forget about it.

You know i always get myself in trouble for speaking my mind againt people i deem hypocrital, vain, useless or plain stupid. I think you did the right thing by speaking your mind against this girl, but i would also have blocker her and all her friends, just to make it more classy. :) You handled it perfectly after it became a drama tho. Gratz on that. ^^

Bullies are everywhere and you can't avoid them (well not really). She is one who believes she is in control and her friends want to be in on it too, obviously. You did the right thing, as they cannot cyber bully you anymore, on facebook. Yes, it's silly that she posted something on facebook and then she got angry because you gave her your opinion. Obviously, she may have wanted a one-sided opinion, the same as hers, or just a select few people to comment and give their opinion. To be honest, you should just cut off all contact with her and avoid her and her friends for as long as you can. It's worked for me at my school. You have to understand that giving your opinion is not a wrong thing to do, even if it's unproductive. Sometimes it's unappropriate, but never wrong to give (depending on how others see it, and how they feel about it, they may see it as wrong, even though it never is legally). Although, if what your saying is extremely unappropriate to the situation, or just whatever it is your saying is unappropriate, it's better not to give it. Lastly, you did the best you could in your position.
