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.

I was cyberbullied at age 40 by someone that tried to beat me up in highschool but I ended up kicking their ass. They held that grudge for 28 years before Googling me, figuring out my employer, and sending porn to everyone in the company directory, including clients, with poorly forged headers to look like it was coming from me. My employer was very understanding, but some clients were not.
I don’t know what the point of this story is, other than some people need to seriously get a life.

Damned kids. These kids are obviously fairly bright, creative, and cunning. And they’ve got the ability to research, track, and concoct sitcom-esque shenanigans. Why would they waste that kind of talent and teamwork on calling some kid gay, or sending pr0n to people 30 years later?
Kids are always saying things like, “why aren’t kids ever allowed to do anything important?”
THIS IS WHY. Despite all of the great qualities of kids, they always seem to waste their talent on something involving other kids.. When I was young, I was fairly bright and quick witted. I knew how to read and write by the time I was 5. Harassing other children didn’t rank high on my list of priorities. I wrote stories, went fishing, played games, and did other things that any smart kid should be doing.
Oh, and I grew up in the slums of Dallas with full time working parents, in a leaky house with no roof on part of it. I don’t wanna hear about “disadvantaged kids turn out bad.” You work with what you’re given. I was given no more than any other kid I ever knew, and yet I never turned out to be a pr0n-emailing asshole. Kids are a waste of perfectly good brain activity.

Dear Bruce,
Your self centered it seems.
I Myself am a kid, 18 in-fact, and in some parts I do not agree with you. I too wrote stories, went fishing, played games and did other things that a “smart kid” could or should be doing. One question I would like to ask as what you mean by “smart kid”? By using that terminology it seems as if you don’t really know where to classify yourself and putting children as a whole down. Down past the level you had already put them in the stereotypical, judgemental comment of “Kids are always saying things like, ‘why aren’t kids ever allowed to do anything important?’”. I believe most kids now a days have two full time working parents no matter the class. Also I don’t think a lower class was put down by any of this cyberbullying crap.
Also some children may harass others but it may not be a top priority. Some of these kids may feel hurt and need attention and the only way they can get rid of that is by causing others pain and attracting attention negatively.
Worth,
Im sorry that happened to you. Some people never grow up and need the attention whether it is negative or positive.
Thank You

yes its true we’ve learned how to learn form our mistakes but we make the mistake of trying it again and again its one of those things we wont learn soon this will take us some time to really look and see what kind of harm we’re doing to our selves and others but we’ve slow or blind some times both

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

Bruce your right kid that do that kind of bullying at often very bright but that does not mean that they think like adults do. with out kids there would be no adults. every one was a kid at some point in time. Kids are not the only ones that bully; take worth says for instants, he is in his 40’s and was bullied by an adult. I think maybe its you that is a waste of brain activity.

My family shouldnt have gotten put out there and these people told alot of my personal problems. i cant add certain people because i am worried of the moron chatter who started all this to find it. i have had 6 myspace accounts in the past 4 months. he sits and reports them everytime i come in. i have 2 fake ones i have to use.

[...] cases of cyber-bullying have escalated into more severe challenges for school authorities and government [...]

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.

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.

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

seriously its both kids and adults, but seriously my friend had a fake picture and people fall for it like they really want to get harassed or sumting
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 think the topic of bullying is an interesting one. This my perspective on the issue, and I’m only 19, so High school is still fresh in my mind.
Far from being someone who condones bullying, in any form, it must also, however, be noted that the response often given by a victim of bullying often considerably provokes the agitator to continue with their behaviour. In all honesty, who really cares if someone makes a fake myspace or says these terrible, nasty things to you? I don’t. And for those people who are going to start with the “You obviously haven’t been bullied” spiel, I assure you, that growing up gay in a small town in country Victoria, and being completely open about it, I have. For a while. Now, not so much, in fact, by ignoring all forms of bullying, which was not only because I was gay, but also very good at schoolwork, talented musically, and well liked by most people, I have effectively stopped any and all of it. That and a fiery temper when neccessary to ensure that people know I don’t take shit from anyone.
If these kids just ignored it, and had some form of resilience, they would not worry about so called “cyber-bullying.” I mean, obviously, if it’s physical assault or verbal abuse then something needs to be done, but please, if i took it to heart everytime someone put it out there that I had slept with a guy I hadn’t or even if I had, I would have killed myself a million times over. The answer to this is very simple. Yes, its wrong. But yes, get over it. Toughen up, grow some balls, and deal. That’s what the rest of us do.
I do have empathy for these kids, but they themselves can change their situation. Get some confidence. NOTHING CAN GET YOU DOWN UNLESS YOU LET IT!. Tell yourself everyday that the biggest motivation in life is the opportunity to better YOURSELF and see how you feel. Sometimes, a healthy amount of arrogance is exactly that, healthy. Just using myself for example, I am very open to constructive criticism in my life, being a vocalist, it happens alot. Criticism for the sake of putting my down, however, simply bounces of me. People often ask me why I never seem to be insulted. Um, hello, I don’t let myself be insulted. If someone attempts to insult me, they are the one with problem. Why can’t most teenagers see how simple this is? You take things to heart, they eat away at you and destroy your sense of self-worth.
No-one can make you feel worthless, except yourself. And no matter what situation you are in, you CAN ALWAYS change it. Anything less is an excuse.
That’s all I have to say.
B-rad out.

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 20th, 2009 at 11:44 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.

Cyberbullying is a deep subject, it’s not fully understood and the effects are still being studied.
I have been cyberbullied before. Please do not throw pity upon me, because words on the Internet mean less than nothing to me. When I was in school, not so long ago, I was tormented because of my small size, my preference to reading than to gossip, and spent my lunchtimes in the library. I would search my email inbox and find a massive chain mail email sent around telling about all my bad qualities. If you read the mail, you could believe that I was a homosexual, raped my mother, stole from shops, and took drugs and alcohol regularly. And what did I do? Did I steadily become depressed, and question the worth of my life? No. I laughed. Disbelieve me if you wish. The rumours were hilarious, and I told the original message senders such. I told them that they forgot to put their references down. Naturally I was sworn at, cursed, and several new messages were sent. Eventually I simply got a friend to slip an anonymous note to the principal and that was the end of it.
One of the main reasons kids get so depressed about cyberbullying is because they believe it, and they think other people believe it too. They don’t seem to understand that the world does not hate them, and that bullies would not dare to lay a finger on them. A few people in the world think it’s funny to torment a fellow peer to the point where they break down, but none are more horrified than these people when things turn suicidal. There is so much spam and junk going on in email that it’s impossible to know what’s real and what’s not.
I am not dismissing the damage cyberbullying does. But nobody is ever truly alone. Even if they don’t have the benefiet of caring humans, it’s easy to talk to a dog or a cat, or even the ducks and swans when they eat your bread and quack gratefully. Your school usually would have a chaplain or something of the kind, and if not, there are your parents, your teachers, your friends, your principal, your family. There are counselling services available. And there’s nothing to stop you from sending a message round contridacting the hate mail. Do not be afraid your parents will confiscate the computer or phone; they would know it never helps.

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.

hey guys!! I hate cyber bullying and cyber bullies. Whenever I get bullied and I dont want to tell anyone, I pretend that the people talking to me are the biggest jerks and have recently escaped the mental hospital. lolz. Thats my way of dealing with bullies who have no life of their own. I am a better person then them and they are just wasting my time. Its not like anything they say is true anyway, they are just jealous of you. So whenever they try to bully me, my confident in myself grows cause I think they are jealous about something I have that they can never have.
Don’t worry about a thing guys!! We are way better then them!!
August 16th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
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 writer at RadicalParenting.com which is a parenting blog from the kid’s perspective there are 60 teen and tween writers run by teen author, Vanessa Van Petten. We just posted a video of cyberbullying here:

What i think is that we’re all immature, adults and children alike. Bruce, i’m 13 and i’m pretty smart. We’ve all been kids once, i didn’t grow up with a very good environment but that does not mean that i grew up like the children around me. I’m called studious and a book worm but i can still say that i’m immature. Boys in my school have rated my group of friends, actually they were our guy friends. And yes it was bad but you all have to understand that this cannot let you down. They apologized, some told us what they graded us and now it’s done. Because you know what, we all cyberbully or just plain bully. When you go around and then you see someone and then call them fat, you may not say it out loud but that is still a form of bullying. These people were wrong to do these, and yes they are immature but i will never understand why death or anything just as bad is the answer. We stood up for ourselves, we forgave, we did the same. We all, even you Bruce, have cyberbullied or bullied. And you know what, you were a kid once and i bet that you have a personal grudge to hate what you once were. So really, take it to people that actually give a damn okay?
August 27th, 2009 at 11:07 am
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!

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 9th, 2009 at 11:40 am
i had some one sending me texted on my phone and i did not know who it was. my mum did not let me see it so i don’t know what it said. i really wanna stop cyber bullying but that would be hard.
October 12th, 2009 at 9:41 am
well to start things off i just wanna say that any type of bullying shouln’t be tolerated. To be honest there should be some sort of sentence for jail for bullying. And me being only 18 i am against bullying, i’m very protective of my friends and when someone is picking on them i throw down and get them to stop what their doing. i say ,” Hey you stop that you poop nipple twister.” and they stop.

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

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.

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.

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
