Stories of Cyber Bullying
October 13th, 2008 by admin
Currently, cyber bullying is one of the fastest growing problems facing school administrators and local governments around the country. Cyber bullying is defined as using the computer or other electronic devices to intimidate, threaten or humiliate another individual. Cyber bullying most commonly takes place on the Internet among students from a given school or neighborhood.
What follows is a series of highly publicized cases of Cyber bullying – each one chosen to shed light on the nature of the problem and the fallout that ensues when one young individual uses technology to hurt another person psychologically.
The Megan Meier MySpace Incident
Megan Meier was a 13 year old from Missouri who struck up an online friendship on the popular social networking site MySpace with a person she believed was a new boy in her hometown. In actuality, the “friend” was a group of individuals, including adults, who were intent on humiliating the poor girl because of a friendship with another child that had gone awry. Megan was very upset when she found out the truth, then later committed suicide once the friendship had terminated. The horrifying case stunned the community and caused state government officials to pass some of the harshest cyber bullying laws in the country.
The “Kill Kylie” Campaign of Hate and Homophobia
Kylie Kenney, an eighth grade student from Vermont lost two years of her life as a result of cyber bullying from classmates. From junior high through her sophomore year of high school, Kylie was forced to deal with websites created by her classmates that featured names like “Kill Kylie Incorporated” that were filled with threatening, homophobic remarks about the young girl. These hurtful kids obtained screen names with handles close to Kylie’s name and used them to make suggestive remarks and sexual advances on Kylie’s teammates on the field hockey team. As a result police filed charges of harassments against the individuals responsible.
The “Dog Poop Girl”
In South Korea, a female college student was riding the train with her dog when it defecated on the floor of the subway car. After the girl refused to clean up the mess, another passenger on the train took her picture using her cell phone and posted it online. In the months to follow, it became an Internet sensation in South Korea and “Dog Poop” girl became the target of extreme harassment. Individuals found out her name and address and soon she was forced to withdraw from school and move to another part of the country.
A Fake Facebook Rival
This year in Clinton Missouri, charges were filed against a teenager who allegedly created a fake Facebook account to serve as a competition against a young girl who was interested romantically in a male student. The account was created by another girl who wanted the boy all to herself, the suit claims. As a result, the targeted individual underwent significant levels of stress which affected her studies and her ability to attend school regularly. The case is one of many that feature phony accounts on Facebook or MySpace that are used to harass young people or stir up trouble among friends.
Cyber Bullying has become a worldwide problem because of the difficulty to track its occurrences. It some cases it has been accepted as humor, but when is it taken to far? When a child has taken her own life because she was cyber bullied, we know it has been taken way too far.
Cyber bullying has been present in the 2008 presidential election with the slurrying of both presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama. Even the vice-presidential candidates Sarah Palin and Joe Biden have been victims of this abuse. These slanders wouldn’t technically be considered cyber bullying, but are loosely related. Senator Sarah Palin has received the worst of it with the creation of videos mocking her interviews on Saturday Night Live. NBC reports over 7 million views online, with millions more watching it on YouTube and Google video.

Listen it’s not about living conditions that choose your activities, dont compare lives because that where observers go wrong. It’s about personal will, and the will to go through with it. The way one person chooses their choices changes their lives, so those who can’t understand them selves or feel detacthed from something move on to harassing someone on the computer because thats their main power for them.
Their just weak, nothing powerful, its the fact that kids are stupid enough to reveal in their own slaughter by following up on what they see and hear. They think the willl live with that their whole life they never understand people come and go, They should get over their own selfish desires to show affection to them self

WAT IS THEIR PROBLEM THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO LIVES. HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO LIFE TREATENING IN 14 AND I HAVE NEVER HURT ANOTHER PERSON INTENSIONALLY. I MAY SOMETIMES GET IN TROUBLE BUT I NEVER AND WILL NEVER HURT SOMEONE ONLINE. ITS JUST SOMETHING THAT CANT BE DONE. SO BEFORE PEOPLE SAY THAT KIDS ARE IMMATURE AND DONT THINK AND ARE ALL BULLIES WHEN IT COMES TO THE INTERNET. LOOK AT ME AND MAYBE UNDERSTAND ITS OT ALL OF US.

Yea bullying is terrible.. even if it was bad to critically life threatening… people say so many hurtful things to people, that you wouldn’t think anyone would think of. ive been myself harassed, being a high schooler, and im sure it will keep happening more frequently. as much as everyone hates it, they too can be sometimes hypocrites. I’ve seen plenty of people say “i hate when people bully others”..when really they either tag teams with the bullier, or don’t do anything about the situation. i know some people don’t like admitting it.
Even I am trying to fully purify myself with a new, positive attitude. I’m trying really hard to become a friendlier person, by getting involved with community groups, and being social.
I hope everyone here, tries to help other people out, and not follow the crowd. Do what your heart tells you, because it’s never wrong.

The internet is the benefit of our modern age. Now…is it a waste of mental activity to research someone online and bully them as much as possible? yes. But isn’t a bigger waste of a mental activity to give these individuals the same kind of privileges as those who are responsible and mature enough to handle the internet? To be honest, I think that the right thing to do is to, besides proper criminal charges, would be to deny those people who bully others online their rights to use a computer for the rest of their lives. When a child molester leaves jail, he is posted on a community watch list and therefore he is restricted to go near schools, parks, and other places where there may be possible victims. I believe that in order to cut this problem out and move forward, those people who cause these despicable effects on others, should not only be sentenced to jail but also restricted indefinitely to ever use a computer in their lives. In this modern age where satellites are weapons and the computer database is a superhighway of communication, those people who do not know how to use such power an abuse it should be simply vanished from the benefit that it is to use or even own a computer. Lets look at it basically, a bully is an insane individual who was abused at some point in his life and feels the need to find retribution by harming others….as such…we must realize that in life there are no causes without effects and as a proper effect to the problems caused by their misbehavior…such CRIMINALS should be dealt with swiftly and promptly.

I think it’s important to note that it is not just kids and teens doing this. The Megan Meier story involved adults using the internet to put others down.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:36 am
i have been cyber bulled a couple of times but i usallly just tell them off and they leave me alone i don’t think it’s right to cyber bully and sone kid in my school used to get cyber bulled untill he tracked the guy who waz a family friend of 30 and he is now in jail for life it sucks so much to be bulled even just in real life i have been regular bulled for 4 years by the same girl and im sick and tired of it and the next time she bullys me im going to stand up for myself so i think every one should stand up for people and bullying should stop for ever and cyber bulling should be a punishableby law because people who get away with it are just going to do it again.
March 18th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Why is this gotten so out of hand.. By the way, Bruce.. That was’nt fair of you to say that. Many kids stand up to cyberbullying the kids who do it are kids who ahve nothing better to do. Kids SHOULD be able to do important things, If people want to bully others let them to it.. But it is the persons responsibility to tell somone .. or take things into their own hands
March 20th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Bruce.. some kids are good kids, so please do not Talk so much crap about us! some of us are actually.. good kids like some of my friends and I!!!!! And cyber bullying is a waste of time and bad most of us no… its usally the kids who go through horrible things that do this so please stop callin kids names and useless thats what is going to push us to breaking point. Making us feel “worth less” just stop and deal with your problems.
April 8th, 2009 at 4:43 am
hi everyone, just wanted to say that i feel your pain…it really is not easy to get over being bullied, even if it is someone that you don’t know; i always thought that it would go away once you grow up but it doesn’t, i was bullied and embarraced by a co-worker just a year back.
April 8th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
wait. kids are not hte only one’s that are cyber bullying, yet adults are apart of this too. so don’t take it out on kids because i am a kid and i use technology but not to bully others.
April 11th, 2009 at 7:14 am
There Was A Boy whos name was Ryan Halligan, I went to his school and heard a Ryan Halligan Speech. He was bullied by his friends and in 2003 he killled himself
April 16th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Wow. thats some harsh stuff. As a soldier, I can’t stand ppl that do that. The ones that do come from a history of family abuse both verbal and physical. GOD BLESS.

TELL A PARENT!!!
thats what i did and my mom kalled her mom and it was all better (:
May 7th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Ok, so everything that is being said on here is a form of cyber bullying and look at this website, it’s trying to prevent adults and children from doing exactly what you guys are doing. Bruce, grow up, learn how to use your proper grammar and then come back and say something. People need to realize that kids and adults die because of this kind of stuff. I was cyber bullied on countless occasions but I am perfectly fine now! It’s a great thing to have that experience once in your life but pushing it past that really changes things.

I am in middle school and I am in an anti-bullying program. I have learned thta the some of the things that students are doing to eachother are horrible. This program has HIGHLY reduced the verbal, physical, and cyber bullyig in our school. I myself have two friends that have been cyber bullied and it is a horrible experience to have to go go through. I know this just from watching the stress they were going through.
May 21st, 2009 at 11:25 am
I think this is an out rage! i have been cyber bullyed before it hurts .My friend has a friend that her couins sisters friend said she got cyber bullyed by her best friends mom
May 26th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I think Cyber Bullying affects a lot of people.
I have been there once,but like I dint pay no mind to it!
It was on myspace
May 27th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Me and my ex just went through a sucky break up and him and his friends are always harrassing me. At first it was just to my face and in person and when it quit getting to me, they stepped it up a notch. Last week, they sent a text message to everyone in town saying i have an STD, which i DON’T. Most people got that, even people who graduated last year. Then, yesterday, they sent out a text message saying an extremely crude thing about me, and that one got out to the school. Everyone in school got the text message and today, i hear whispers and see people watching me. I have never done or said anything to them that could provoke this. I have confronted my ex and his friends and they all deny it. I also went to the principals and they are trying to find out who started it. Cyberbullying sucks, and it will forever be with me. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt you? that’s a bunch of bull. Sticks and stones make cutsand bruises, but those eventually heal. Words are forever and i will never forget what they said to and about me. Words never go away.

where are doing a speech on cyber bullying
and these things make us very emotional inside.
sometimes these things are really serious we understand
how people go through these things everyday in there life.
And sometimes cant resists these things from happening.
July 1st, 2009 at 10:36 pm
we’re doing a comic on cyber bullying, to try and stop it.
its terrible that most people who just want to have fun will stoop so low. sometimes, its just for revenge. although we’re just kids, we do have an insight to many things adults have not seen yet, or maybe have before when they are young. i myself have not been cyber bullied yet, and i do not wish to be. i just hope that for all those being cyber bullies, to think twice before making their decision. one mistake and you’re pretty much doomed. think about those you’ve bullied before, its terrible to live with that type of conscience. the fear and sadness of your prey. you’ll ruin those who have had a happy life, its not right to vent your anger this way.
for those who have been bullied, forget about the whole nightmare and start again. consult your situation with someone you can trust. don’t take them to heart, report them. those people really need to have a taste of their own meds. you are much stronger than the others.
Good luck.

sarchon you’re a very brave person, i admire how you have handled your situation.
i’ve been cyberbullied and threatened and these sick people are trying to justify what they did by telling people thru their blogs that it was my fault and i deserve to be defamed online just because i fought back, they kept texting me, calling me names and all and expect that i will not fight back? For them, when they harass you, you should not fight back or else they will harass you online and embarass you to more people and they would call it EXPOSE.
i do hope that there will be stricter laws regarding cyber bullying! These people are cowards, im sure if they know they will really go to jail for defaming people online, they won’t be as vulgar. i know that we have freedom of speech but lets practice that responsibly. Ruining peoples reputations and lives can never be justified!

Cyber Bulling should not be allowed we shall do something about that
September 15th, 2009 at 6:45 am

October 6th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Whoever cyber bullies has no life . people who has been bullied i’m so sorry i feel your pain.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:37 am
i was bullyed by a prisoner when i was 13 years old. i am now 15 and it is still goingon. i have told the police and they said they will sort it out. i want my life to be the same as it was before but that will never happen so hay how, chin up and look proud of being a tuff girl and go along with it.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:10 am
that is very sad that the 13 year old girl had committed suicde after was found out the truth about what the people had done to her. and that people should not take pictures of girls that would not pick up her dogs poop i am a 16 year old girl and i understand what gone on with the two girls
November 9th, 2009 at 9:54 am
I read all the stories and I am saddened to hear how cyberbullying can lead to suicide especially with teens. I personally think that teens must learn how to protect themselves against threats. We need to be strong and resistant. I am a teen myself who has never been cyberbullied but i will take this as a way to prevent cyberbulling.
December 13th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I’m 13 and very lucky that I’ve never experienced cyber bulling or even seen it happening around my school. Though some kids like to make fun of people to boost their own self-confidence, most kids aren’t like that. They’re just afraid to stand up for people in fear that they’re going to get treated badly too. The other problem is that cyber bullying, unlike bullying, is something that is very secretive and most people don’t even know it’s going on, including teachers. When kids get cyber-bullied they start to turn against people and their parents, because they think they can deal with it themselves but they can’t. TELL AN ADULT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and hopefully it won’t get too serious OR ignore any text messages or facebook messages unless they are extremely serious.
December 19th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
bullying is a problem that no one should do. everyone know’s it wrong. you know its wrong. but you dont care. its an everyday problem for everyone. whether its talking about a friend behind there back to saying it to there face. you need to wake up and realize the solution to bullying is to just walk away. dont keep it going. dont let them walk all over you. the solution is to tell and adult and teacher or gaurdian immediatley. i was bullied. cyber bullied. by someone im not going to say. they called me names and made fun of me. but if you ignore them and dont talk back you will most likley be a sucessful person and they will turn out to be a ignorant jealous person. just walk away. i had too
January 7th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
yah, bullies need to get a life. they just go around making people feel bad
January 7th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
why do people have to be so mean. just now i was pushed down on the sidewalk. i’m glad i don’t have a cell phone to be teased with
January 19th, 2010 at 7:15 am
i really dont understand why children and adults alike cyber bully or any kind of bullying its not right and causes alot of problems for people that are the victims…killing yourself is not the answer and it just brings pain to anyone around you. Its really uspesting and annoying that people who cyberbully really have no life and what are they benefiting from bulliying someone?? a award for takeing someones life?? you gotta have serious issues if your cyberbullying someone..its a waist of damn time and all your doing is causing this world to become worse than it already is. i’ve been cyberbullyed before, just because some girl was jealous of my boyfriend.she kept txting me horrible things and insttead of doing something i just ignored everything and she stopped. this might not happen to you but if it does imediatly tell an adult because it could save your life..
February 2nd, 2010 at 9:13 am
I was also cyber bullied by a girl that had a serious grudge against me and my boyfriend at the time. The minute i started reading the message i was horrified what she said. She had even gone under a false account because i had already blocked her on Facebook. I knew it was her because of how she mentioned my boyfriend and how she talked. The message damaged my confidence and i never could let it go. When i reported it to my principal he said there was “nothing he could do” because it was outside of school. Schools NEED to start interveining with internet abuse so it can be STOPPED! Before this girl was sent to another school i has to deal with more of her slurs and the dread of her saying something else. If we don’t start cyber bullying soon…who will?
February 10th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
If someone is bullying you, you should tell someone about it. Your friends, a trusted teacher or older adult that you may be friends with. If its in school, file harassment or battery against them.. I’ve done that already.. The girl ended up moving out of our school after we both got suspended. If it’s over the internet block the person, or cancel your account. People who are out there bullying are stupid. They only do it to make themselves feel better. If they feel so bad about themselves that they have to bully others they should go see a shrink. Bullies are f’in stupid and they need to STOP!! let me tell ya, stupid people like that piss me off.
February 18th, 2010 at 10:25 am
That’s True, and another thing is that some kids, even if they’re your friends or not sometimes Kids or even adults need to stand up for one another. Yea i do my fair share of bulling or well picking on but i only do that with my friends and i only go to a certain extent. But I’ve never cyber bullied anyone and i probably wouldn’t ever do it ether. But my point hear is that people should think before they act.
March 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm
I am currently being cyberbullyed and it is no laughing matter!! I am in eighth grade and have to deal with this and my dad being in the military, deployed no less! My BEST FRIEND has been cyberbullying me for a month now and it just won’t go away! All you people say just tell a teacher, but that made it worse. She rebeled back by tellig my friends that I don’t know how to deal and take care of my own conflicts, and then they turned against me for her!! She sends me text messages saying that I don’t have any friends and no one likes me because I am a teachers pet. She will type a message on her school laptop and turn her computer to one of her friends and then they will look at me and laugh. What, do they think I am a stupid idiot, I know they are talking about me. It hurts and we need to stop it NOW!! I have had thoughts of suicide, but God has helped me overcome those thoughts. I have not wanted to go to school though! I refuse sometimes to get up out of bed and go to school, but my mom drags me out and I do go to school. These memories will torture me for the rest of my life and they will NEVER go away!!! I am scarred for life because of being cyber-bullyed!!! help stop it NOW!! Together we stop it. and for you who just don’t care, GOD HELP YOU!!!!!
March 14th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
I’ve been a victim of bullying all of my life, I’ve tried to put an end to my life a few times now because of it, within the past couple of years, I’ve become open about who I really am, allot of people like to harass me about it, they like to harass me because I am legally blind, because I am poor, because of a lot of reasons, and it’s usually not just 1 person doing it at a time, usually it’s a bunch of people posting my picture somewhere and laughing it up, I do believe that I have developed an unhealthy view on life because of what people have done to me, but I can’t help but feel that way
It seems to be a never ending nightmare, it’s either pretend to be someone I’m not or be forced to be harassed.
April 6th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
In my opinion as a 14yr old i’m required to research on this cause and Cyberbullying is absolutely unexcusable! Cyberbullying is a waste of Technology. People get too warped and it becomes competition like who has the most comments or how many friends someone has. Computers were created to be able to give information and i don’t think that cyberbullying is such a good thing. I read the stories and based on my opinion people go too far on jokes or they just love hurting people. Everyone has feelings and everyone has flaws. Thats what makes us human. But being cruel like that is not a matter to be laughed at. I had some one break into my house egg my room and splatter paint all over my furniture. i was devastated and it turned out to my Ex-friend and so i think that there should be limitations on the computer to stop these matters. It could have some important impact on the cause.
April 10th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
that is so true! i am only 13 and i’m a victum of cyber bullying… i had a boyfriend who was not nice, and i also had a bully at my school. they thought it would be funny for them to go out and then use facebook, text, etc. to get people to #1: hate me and #2: try to stress me out. its really a terrible thing, and its sad that it not only happens to me, but that other people have to go through this…
April 13th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Cyber bullying is a major problem everywhere and we need to help stop it. If it continues then people will continue to commit suicide and personally suicide is very sad, especially for the people who love the ones who hang themselves or commit suicide. If we stand up to the bullies together and get parents ivoled and tell them whats going on, we can as a team stop the bullies from bullying people using cyber, sexual, mental/verbal, physical or social bullying. The faster we stop this the better our communities and countries will be.

I was cyberbullied b4. I descied to change my hair style and a group of girl accued me of being “emo” they haced my youtube account and tart posting comments like “I’m emo jut look at my wrists!” I cried, and now everyone is accuseing me of being emo.
I’m doing a report for my reading class, and i have to type a paper, bucause i don’t want this to happen to anybody els. Can I get any help?
April 18th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
I’m a teenager just like any teenager, but I don’t understand how some of these people can be so bored or vengeful to the point of doing these kinds of things. I just don’t understand, but I guess the only thing that can be said is that humans can be cruel.
April 19th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
I’ve cyber bullied, I honestly feel horrible about it especially because I did it to my friend who did nothing to me. I wish I could take everything I said back but I can’t now, I’ve really learned from my mistake. But I was with two other people (who I no longer call friends) who did most of the work but just the fact that I was a part of their name calling & harassing makes me disgusted with myself. I was in a bad time in my life hanging out with the wrong people but now I changed & now dealing with the consequences.
May 2nd, 2010 at 1:12 pm
this is a really complicated topic! im doin a repprt on it and i mean i think that every cyber bully and regular bully should receive some kind of punishment for ther doing but if you really think about it they have a right of freedom of speech. so technically they can say whatever they want. but wen it leads to this kind of thing you really have to consider trying to punish these lifeless bullies some kind of way because they are taking the lives of innocent human beings! so this problem needs to be sloved quickly and effectively! in other words in needs to be stopped NOW!
May 3rd, 2010 at 9:47 am
we need to stop cyberbullying some kids or teens try to kill them self because people cyber bully them on the cat rooms so if u cyber bully stop and go get yourself a life. you would not like it if somebody did to you so do not say anything bad about anyone and if anyone tries to bully me on chat rooms i would not care because i now it not true about me so i fell bad for anyone who would do that to me because i would not care but if u keep doing i will tell an adult and u will be in jell so just back of of my life cyberbullyers
May 6th, 2010 at 8:33 am

Im a senior in high school, one of my good friends commited sucide because some girls cyber bullyied her so much and put photos of her on their accounts and made fun of them. It was so sad to see her go because of another person. It can affect people so much when they are cyber bullied you dont know what they are going through so dont put them through more. Im doing a reasearch project for english right now and it is so sad to see all this happening so i would hope you all know that we all have challenges and should not pick on others online you never know what the outcome could trun out to be.

May 8th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
I have had people who made fun of me, just because I have changed my hair colors, I use to come home all bloody, and cut up, from getting into fights and I’ve cut myself before.
Now that I have matured and learn to say “no” to people, and ignore people who don’t like me, I am just like any other teenager. I went to rehab for cutting and attempting suicide; but Now I finally realize that life is too precious to let anything happen to me. I’m 14 years old, and I stand up to the people who are innocent victiums in situations like Cyberbullying, and even bullying. Don’t be afraid to say what you want, b/c God didn’t make YOU to waste your life on these people you probably won’t see in your life when you get out of highschool. That’s what my friends tell me, people might dislike you, and you have a lot of people who do like you, the world isn’t perfect. Just be yourself, don’t change just because people say you are “ugly” or “Fat” or “Weird” if everyone was just normal, this world wouldn’t be fun.

i am ashamed to have been a cyber bully. i have tormented this person to the point where she was ready to kill herself as soon as i realized she was taking it that harshly i stopped. the whole thing started with this joke she said to me that really pissed me off. it had to do with me being muslim and since muslims are already hated cuz of the terrorists. so since i knew her password for pretty much everything she had(face book, msn, etc) i signed into all her accounts and changed the passwords. when she recovered her password i started harrassing her verbally one day her mother was on the computer and i went to curse my victum and the mother told me how shes gonna go to the principle and i cursed her out and told her its the last week of school i want to get suspended to get out of school early. but i took it to far i brought a nail clipper to school and most nail clippers have files with sharp curved edges and i stabbed her twice(not deep just penetrated skin it didnt even bleed) but then one night i was on the computer and i was reviewing an old conversation we had when we were friends and i realized i was such an idiot and now i lost on of my best friends its been nearly 2 years and i continue to ask her to forgive me but she wont. not only i lost my friends but i started to hang out with the wrong crowd since i wasnt her friend. i started to smoke and drink. and if it wasnt for one substitute teacher that had a class discussion on life and how you only have 1 chance dont ruin it i would either be in jail now or living a life of drugs and violence.
now everyone out there whos a cyber bully stop it you are hurting someone and yourself. emails and texts, can be traced. cyberbullyings a crime now(not when i did it luckily) and you will most likely be jailed. especially if the person is your old friend then your losing a friend who probably never intended in hurting you and you could cost them their life.
like my friends say payback is a bitch she actually told all her friends whom of which were also my so called “friends” turns out they sided with her and one of them actually dumped a bottle of water on me. of course i didnt let it go i punched the person in the back of the head while they were walking away. now i lost my best friend and many others and now im forced to live with the fact that its my fault and i over reacted for nothing
people i know this is long but if you listen it might save someone

Although I have never had to experience cyber bullying it is a serious problem…to simply blame it on kids that have nothing to do with their lives is wrong. The kids that do cyber bullying have the same sort of intentions as straight up bullying. This morning all the teachers at my school were given a link to report about another school, a report of them and a student being sued for damages because this child had had is testicle taken out because some kid thought it would be funny to come up to an unawre kid and punch him in the groin. Now cyber bullying may have no physical damage however it does way heavily on poeple. It can be more damaging then regular bullying.
However…putting this problem in the catagory of simply a childs problem is a gross misunderstanding. We are influenced by things we hear say and write all the time. We form opinions about people far sooner then we should and with words from unreliable sources. We listen to biased news all the time and never really get to the bottem of hard issues because they make us uncomfortable. This world of cyber bullying is an adult problem as well as a kid problem. The only reason its more prevalent in the younger community is because the flux of hormones and because in high school embarrassing things are far far more devestating then when your older.

cyber bullying is growing very fast in this world and it make children and also adult to be die so we have to stop cyber bullying. Such as making fake facebook accounts and also sonding messages and making rumours. ihad been teased when i came to canada which is new to canada it just 9 months to me to canada . in school my classmates was teasing me and i told on them in the office about them and they got into trouble.

lol, i was cyber bullied but after a while i stpped caring what the person said and just replyed ” i don’t really care what you say cuase we’re probably never gonna see each other ever anyways ” XP
these kids and adults need to understand that not everyone is going to like them and they have to get used to it. true, it is scary that they are being threated and it’s not funny that their being threated but like my dad says.
” tell an adult and suck it up.”

Kudos for having an honest discussion on bullies. Whether they choose to do it online or by traditional methods, we have to tell these mean-spirited people their behavior is unacceptable and they will have to accept the consequences for their actions. Bullying is learned behavior that is culturally reinforced in our schools and workplace, and often times bullies do their dirty business when no one is around. All too often they operate under the controls of fear and intimidation because they know people accept such abusive nonsense as a right of passage of growing up. Baloney!
We can teach our children and teenagers to have confidence in themselves and learn the signs of bullying behavior before they become active and passive targets of bullies. We can also teach the bullies about compassion for themselves and others. Often times bullies engage in mean-spirited behavior because they have poor social and communication skills and lack a moral compass to guide them towards accepting responsibility. This forum is a great way for parents, children, educators, and community leaders alike to
engage in dialogue to solve this problem.

I am completely astonished at how many people have been hurt and respond so entirely to this subject. Although I’ve never been the victim or bully of cyberbullying I was subject to threats and physical abuse by a girl when I was five. She told me not to tell and the only reason I didn’t was because she said that she’d put my mum in jail. I came home from preschool each day with large marks down my back, bruises from being slammed against a brick wall repeatedly. But that wasn’t all. I was called names by a guy about four years older than me when I was in year 2 and I was similarly treated in year 7. Year 7 to tell you the truth was the worst year of my life. I slowly slipped into mild depression, only had one true friend and my health deteriorated. People threw things at me and called me names. I also got a bitchy attitude and a pretty low amount of patience and self-esteem.
It all changed in about the beginning of the second semester when a guy and I went to a University, the only two from our year to say a speech about an excursion we’d went on to visit a university with our year. We spoke about our aspirations — mine being becoming a marine biologist at the time and his being the owner of a truck business — and I got pretty loathed about it, mostly because I never got picked to go away for anything and that I done so well. After that my mum pulled me out of that school and I now have to travel two hours a day– 10 hours equivalent to 10,000km a week– for school. In my opinion, it’s all worth it and someday I aspire to become a bestseller author. I may even write a book about it, who knows. I now have about 35 friends, am happy and I’m striving for academic excellence.
In my opinion, bullying is cowardly and stupid. It’s only done mostly because people don’t have anything better to do with their lives and/or they’ve had previously been hurt in some way, shape or form. Like, domestic abuse or something similar. I just wish some people would get a life.
What happened to me in the past has shaped my outlook on life dramatically and I can say that if it hadn’t happened to me, I may be slightly different in the way I approach the subject. Bullying affects you for life, hopefully for the better as it has for me. These days I’m ecstatic, happy, healthy and living life to the best of my ability. Writing has also helped me, as have my family and friends.
Karma is also a powerful element in life and I believe in it entirely, but it doesn’t make me detest anyone or wish bad things for them. But, here’s what happened to them:
1) The girl who bashed me and threatened me decided to threaten someone… more powerful than her. She got pushed down a flight of stairs and got hurt slightly. That happened to shape her outlook slightly.
2) The guy eventually finished school and I haven’t seen him since.
3) The girls who threw things at me and whispered right in front of me have since split up and now they’re in the position I was at the time.
These are mere coincidences and happened following the times that I left those places. I heard from old friends of what happened to them and now, I’m happy and most of them are too. These occurrences have shaped my outlook and made me stronger. Now, I’m more resistant to anything malicious and I know how to act if anything happens. I know that my friends are there for me, and I have now found a few talents I never knew I had. Someday, I may also strive to become a psychologist and help those who have had similar or worse experiences. Following the death of one of my friend’s brother I now listen more openly than ever, giving my own support to those who are in difficulty and my newly kind nature has earned me a lot of respect, each with my family, friends, friend’s families and teachers.

I think cyber bullying is stupid, because the attackers are not man enough to confront them face-to-face. People don’t realize that there are consequences for them and the victom. They wouldn’t want to get cyber bullied, so don’t do it to anyone else. I say they are cowards who can’t do anything bad besides in the conforts of their house. Also the attackers are not going to have a succsessful life because of what they do. One more thing is that when the attackers talk to one person they don’t stop so it can ruin their whole life. This is stupid because they don’t notice that they are ruining not only the other persons life but your also ruining your own life because you can go to jail. So if you are being cyber bullied tell someone and don’t let it get to you.
July 27th, 2010 at 12:41 am
I have been cyber bullied online, I will not mention the names but it was hurtfull. She wrote rude things about me and my friend. Its hurtful, so why do it?
July 28th, 2010 at 7:58 am
hello to all of whom has posted a comment on this website,
cyber bullying is a big issue. although some people believe that there are different causes: like the bullyer lives in a difficult environment, or the bullyer has been bullied themselves, or even that they are just mean and cruel. the point is, that not only kids bully, but adults bully more than kids! and how do you think we “kids” learn to bully. i believe it is not only the “monkey see, monkey do” process but it maybe also genetic. humans are the most emotional creatures on the planet and we need to learn how do deal with this. in great times of sorrow, we come together. at times of anger and war, we split apart. well duh! we are affected by our emotions.
going back to “who bullies.” not just “kids” bully. adults bully, in my opinion, worse than kids!!!
if you go to the very top of this long list of comments you will come to a response indicating the bullying of adults to adults. the example, during the presidential campaign, cyber bullying was an issue discused with the presidential candidates. also, still to this day, sara palin is being or was being cyber bullied. and this is because cyber bullying is not just on the internet but also in the media! IF AN ADULT WANTS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT CYBERBULLYING!!! THEY CAN BLAME ALL THE MEDIA, PAPARAZZI, AND ALL OTHER ADULTS WHO TALK “junk” about other adults!!!
when you watch the news, you see the “daring secrets” of celebrities, or of other famous people in the world.
WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE “KIDS” GET THE DAMN IDEA?!
so just to let you all know, for the Y4C - our goal is to study the reasons and statistics of bullying and to discus the issue with our group and come with a reason why our efforst aren’t working.
and for those who need help with bullying, tell a parent, they can help.
August 5th, 2010 at 5:03 am
I realy dont get it why can people be so cruel and what you doing is realy stupid and not funny at all I mean if you want attension why dont you go seek for it at your because bulling someone dorsnt make you ant cooler you guys are stupid and imature
November 29th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
I have been bullyed this is my first year of highschool it is going really good but when I think back to when I was being bullyed I feel terrible I get a sick feeling inside I did stupid thing because I was being called fat and ugly, such as things nobody should be proud of like anorexia, belimia and for a while I felt like hurting myself ( glad I did “hurt” myself and glad I didn’t do those things for long ) but I didn’t just do this right away I tried healthy diets and working out… Unfortunatly I never lost that weight but I went back to eating healthy and exersizing regularly I realized this was my body I should take care of it I still thing about doing those bad diets today but right before I snap out of those bad thoughts. I wish I told somebady what happened and what he said to me but I didn’t I don’t think that was healthy because I recently told my sister because I “snaped” I freaked out I was to do bad bad things that was only a few weeks ago ands it’s been over a year since I was bullyed I honestly think I might be a little screwed in the head for the rest of my life but I can’t only blam him for it all I should have told somebody but I didn’t… I wish I had the guts to go up to him and confront him I easyily could he’s in my French class but I wouldn’t know how to start…
My message to others who are going though this now is tell someone right away… I didn’t that was a stupid mistake and it just feels to late to say anything I was stupid and I don’t want others yo be to.

My 15 year old daughter is being cyber bullied on facebook to the point where this particular person (being backup by friends) has been very descript on how he is going to have her “gangbanged”, torture her, kill her and mutilate her body. At school he approached her again so she threw her bookbag at him breaking his glasses :). This was annonomously reported to the school and police, they school called me in for a conference as soon as they found out. All have decided to not get involved, school says because it was not done at school they will stay neutral (even though the kid has a well documented history of violence and a facination for “sharp objects” - he has been caught trying to sharpen paperclips at school. Police, even though the posting was directed at her it was not sent to her directly it is considered Freedom of Speech and not prosecuteable!!! Police also say that the boy “did it out of anger” and would not do it again and felt confident that he was remorseful:( - which is BS). I have gotten to know DA as a result.

i was cyber bullied in 6th grade my classmate created a website with a chat room that everyone in the classroom got on . someone impersonated me and said a lot on mean things about almost everyone in the classroom. the teacher almost called the police everyone to this day (except my parents) still thinks it was me and since then no one treats me the same way and barely talks to me. whoever impersonated me ruined my life and reputation. i really hope that they feel good about their self
January 7th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
I have been Cyber Bullied And Bullied In General. And for all of you out there please please PLEASE go to an adult before it’s to late.
January 24th, 2011 at 7:20 am
i think its kinda crazy that you think that if someone dosnt stand up for them selfs they are just allowing them selfs to keep getting bullied . I am 15 and have been cyber bullied they say things to me through the computer they know they wouldnt say to my face they pick on kids because they are insacure have no lifes and are jelious. I mean why would anyone have so much time to destroy someones life because they have no friends. When we see someone being BULLIED we need to stick up sor that person and tell the bully to knock it off and stop i mean they are gunna end up messing with the wrong erson and they are gunna end up getting their ass kick iv been there once you knock their ass down they change how they act you all should stop saying stop bullying and actully do somthing about it i mean cmon look at all the people sitting here saying lets do somthing about it get up and actuly do somthing about it.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:55 am
Heyy,
Well I have bullied someone through a text message and over myspace before. But I stopped it before it got to the point that someone would hurt their-self. But see they actually had it coming, they shouldn’t have tried to mess with my boyfriend and they shouldn’t have tried to mess mine and his relationship up. So actually yeah I thank they did get what they deserved. Now they don’t mess with me or my boyfriend. But yeah this happened last year I was 16 then I’m 17 almost 18 now and me and my boyfriend are still together too !.. But yeah thanks for your time !!…
March 24th, 2011 at 12:33 pm

(m i the only kid in here if so does that make me lame!!!!!?????)
April 2nd, 2011 at 7:11 am
Many people are bullied. The thing is now they are tryin to stop bulling. When I see bullying I go and stop it. Kids don’t deserve to die just because they get bullied, even though they have been bullied doesn’t mean other kids haven’t been either. I do feel bad for the other people that have been bullied because I use to be bullied. I just let that go cause no one deserves to be a victim of cyberbullying. For the kids that died cause of that should live in peace. Ohh and bruce any kid can get bullied. Anytime of kid can get bullied no matter what.
April 7th, 2011 at 6:14 am
i get cyberbullied very often by someone i used to consider a friend, go figure. he gets on youtube, myspace, facebook, craigslist, & wow claiming to be me claiming im gay & claiming my wife is a ts. i reported him to the cops multiple times & they do nothing. it went so far as to him giving out my adress on sites & got a brick thru my wifes windshield costing us 300 bucks. hes been doing this over 6 years now. nobody ever “has it coming” because that person could either hurt thereself or others over your actions. bullying someone over text & internet is a cowards action. it shows no backbone on the bullies part. im not trying to offend you but anything you think can be said over internet or text you should be able to say in person. i cant respect anyone that does that. im sorry
im well over 30 years old & i know whos doing the bullying & cops dont do anything. im getting very sick & tired of it. im not some kid thats gonna hang himself.
April 10th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Bullying is mean, and wrong, and it dosent matter what form it is it will always be wrong…. i way so disgusted by some of the stories i had heard and now i am doing my sspeach on why it is wrong.
April 20th, 2011 at 11:23 am
bully’s are such a big problem today im so sad to hear about these storys i mean kids shouldnt be so mean i guess they dont think about how the kids they pick feel they dont think about what it would feel like to be picked on the kids who are bullied are just so scared to even try to have success in life its just dissapointing to hear the amount of kids who bully others its not just in school but its outside in the world too how many kids will have to suffer before it becomes a very serious problem?
April 20th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
I think that cyber bullying is one of the worst things that a teenager may be exposed to. But in this age kids cannot act properly. The cyber-bullies are always not self-confident children who, in many cases, envy their victims.
I was bullied twice. The first incident happened 2 years ago in a new social site- “Formspring.me.”
In this site you can send your opinion or question anonymously. One person sent me a message claiming that I was fake and that I wasn’t a good friend. I was too offended to answer and I just disabled my account.
The second incident happened a year ago. Those who I had considered my ‘best friends’ tended to tease me often about my appearance. This teasing eventually led to harsh words exchanged over Facebook, which by a month time resulted in cyber-bullying. The bullying ended when I blocked them, and moved after the school year.
So if you are bullied the best thing to do is to block those people or just find a different social network. Don’t pay attention to the bullies because most of things they say are not true. However, if the bullying becomes very serious then an adult should be informed for help.
April 28th, 2011 at 8:53 am
Reading all of these stories shocks me; I am doing a speech for public speaking class persuading others not to cyberbully and hope to tell storeis like these to make one aware of what could happen if they do those things.
May 5th, 2011 at 9:30 am
It’s excellent page, I was looking for something like this
May 13th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
i feel so bad for all the kids that have gotin bullied in there life i know how it fills i am a 17 year old girl and i get called out of my name and they pick on me because my parents use to be on drugs and all this diffrent stuff it hurts but just keep your head up and dont let them get you down it aint your fult for a lot of stuff other kids choose to pick on you about .
May 18th, 2011 at 6:57 am
I’ve been cyber bullied before and I don’t like it. it’s mean, selfish and downright annoying. I don’t see why people get such a high from making others suffer. It’s really not cool. People made fun of me because I’m different, and I try to ignore them, which only makes it worse. I stand up to them and never back down, and I think others should, too.

May 19th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
I have learned my lesson now, and know i will never do it again. After reading some scary stories of bullying, and how kids kill themselves over it, i know never to do it again
May 19th, 2011 at 9:03 pm
After reading about how people have killed themselves because of bullying, i will never do it again. I have promised to myself that i will not make fun of people because of their looks. I have no idea how it feels and i feel terrible.
May 23rd, 2011 at 9:46 pm
To all those who have been cyber bullied I know what it is like for like some I also got bullied and it is very upsetting my school was very supportive about it they got on to the case right away and now I am friends with those girls but people need to understand that if you are getting bullied to tell an adult not leave it for the last mintue or take things into your own hands. Dont try and get back at the person but tell someone you trust
July 14th, 2011 at 8:45 pm
hello i have been bullied and its not because they are smart kids. or because they are insucure it is because they want to put other people down because at some point that had happened to them and they feel the need to put other people down because they think there cool for doing it. now that was just my case and it hasnt ended i have been bullied since i was little and it isnt okay, bullying needs to stop i know it might not but it needs to people arent cool for puting other kids down. end of story
September 14th, 2011 at 6:55 pm

people who think cyberbullying is bad not a lot of people actually get cyber bullied cyberbullying is something that is repeated over time not just someone being a jerk once or twice on facebook or something cyberbullying is when someone DOES wanna cause harm to you not when there just messing around with their friends and take it a bit to far like if they post one or to statues about you no biggie but if happens again and again and again and again then thats a case of cyberbullying and that is what should be stopped we can’t just simply set up systems that can catch it so you must take action as people to stop the bullying stand up for your self but don’t get to bold cause it can come off as arogiant just don’t take the crap but don’t give them crap back cause your no better then
November 2nd, 2011 at 1:10 am
Hi,
I actually just got done watching a movie called cyberbully and I cried through alot of it. I was thinking that it is a total waste of time to bully. I know that I can’t say much even though I have never really bullied anyone online I have gotten into fights with people online to defend myself because I did not like the hurtful things they said. I like that there are laws to stop these kinds of things. If anyone noticed facebook has taken some security measures to kept bullies off the website.
When I pulled up this website and started to read the comments and I came to one comment that actually started a fight I thought it was kind of wrong. If we as people are coming together to stop bullying then why start a senseless fight on a website that is informing people of the problem of bullying. We are just commenting and telling stories to support each other on here. Why should we attack each other. This country is about freedom, but has anyone ever heard of the part of it that says “you have the right to freedom as long as it doesn’t hurt someone else” I have always loved that one.
Sincerly, commenter
P.S. Im glad when I have children they can grow up with the law that stops bullying.

I always get bullied online and I’m a christian um I live in sabattus Maine and I love everyone but I moved from Monmouth to Sabattus last year….most of the people from Monmouth cyber bully me….really mean stuff but sometimes just all you have to do is ignore them I know it’s hard trust me I do know but just try to ignore it….make a new account or change your cell phone number or block the person do what you can to make it stop dont add on to it because most of the people that cyber bully are just looking for someone to hurt….don;t et them hurt you and they will stop prove to them that you are stronger then they think….take this advice it does work…It worked for me!
