Hey Melody! I liked what you had to say about sometimes someone will bully you b/c they’re trying to take advantage of what they see as weakness. And that’ll totally happen, for sure, though I’m sure there are people out there who might also take it as a challenge, step up and try to push you around even more… but sometimes, even though that’s obviously not ideal, it still feels pretty damn good to be able to say what you think or stand up for yourself, so in the end I guess you kinda just have to do what’s right for you, pick the battles that are right for you and see what happens, eh? Thanks to you too for contributing!

Hey Melody! Nice idea you had to just be careful about what kind of info is on your profile, so that people can’t “follow you home” online. You’re totally right, though, it’s complicated to know how to solve all of these kinds of things b/c it’s really hard to know why bullies would do what they would do and, in the end, you can’t actually control what they do… tough one. Thanks for sharing, though, it’s cool to have you sharing your story.

Hello to YouthinBC this is for Beth and Marrisa dont let these kids/teens get to you tha mo you get upset or sad they will make it worse for you and try to get you even weaker that they want you to do something that will end up that you dont want to end up doing? Dont let them get to you ignore those jealous haters this is all dat yall can actually do I know it aint simple I know I have a issue of standing tall even when teens or young adults try to target me in reality or in tha internet dont let these bully punks injure your soul yall are very beautiful with a beautiful heart if you let these oppresors get to you and your nerves you are only stooping into their level to make life even 10 to 20 times worser for yall stand tall with your head pointing to tha sky and if you believe in religion then pray prayer sometimes do help if you are in distress or find things that you enjoy so this way you wont pay any attention to whom is trying to bully you example: sports going to a movie with your close friends talking to people you are close to going for a walk and hanging out with positive people and not tha wrong crowd be strong and life will get a little easier to deal with with every passing minute and hour dont let people bully or take advantage of you hold your ground dont be afraid we have to have pity for those who have nothing good to do but to hurt peoples feelings and make them cry or to get upset or pissed off we have to have compassion about these people why they would do these things is because they to have personal issues at home or other people that they or their group would do everything in their power to make people strangers or people they know feel powerless dont let them take that advantage!!! Stay Fierce and stand your ground I know yall can take care Thx YouthinBC From Melody

[PT2]Cont’d I know how it feels like to get bullied in tha inet/cyber world as well in general in reality..I have afew websites I am in only to find my friends and as well find new ones and most of my real dad side of his family..People can be so harshly cruel with their mean words that they do say not only to me but to alot of people I live in BC wont say were though I like to keep it confidental. I sometimes fear that people in tha outside world are prejudging me and talking sorry (shit about me behind my back or laughing) their words scar and they say words dont hurt..well most of us wont show it because it makes tha bulliers mo aggressive and will do anything to get a kick out of bullying..tha mo we show that we are weak and take everything they say seriously it will make life much worse for most of us. I think tha better and best way of outbeating tha bullies are only just to ignore them..My bfs told me they are only targeting me because I am weak if I act stronger they cant get to me no matter how many times they tried to kick me to tha curb or say things to make me feel sorry for myself or laugh behind my back I do my best to ignore and have my head up high like I dont give a damn

Why do people tend to cyber bullying to threaten hurt or harm others. It is supposed to be a friendly site to go find new friends keep tha old ones from our pasts and find friends or family on networking sites. I am guessing there are alot of kids teens and young adults whom got too much time in their hands and so they think it is funny to make people feel afraid otherwise make them feel bad for themselves and to feel sorry for being alive that they will do things to make themselves look good yet they dont really realise what they are doing is wrong and it is a cyber crime to make somebody lesser than they already are..People out there maybe been pressured to do this from their own peers just to fit in..If they are going to do this to their own friends they aint worth hanging out or keeping in contact or being intouch we are supposed to get along yet there are people whom are old fashion and dont care it is emotional abuse to hurt harm or threaten people we got too much hatred in this country in canada and tha states I wish it can be stopped all we can do is ignore them and to not let them have tha challenge to make us feel worthless..it is not a caring loving community yet we have to live one day a time..People and life can be cruel yet it is how life is in tha 21 century. In reality people get bullied teased hurted feelings and otherwise threatened for dump foolish reasons that kids and teenagers or adults injure themselves and have their families cry due to their grievances and loses due to senseless acts of stupidity of bullies why cant we all jus get along with eachother instead of being against one another plain and simple it is peoples ignorance and dumb way of thinking..Basically they are not thinking and wishing they would realise that is why we have stop anti bullying it is because our world that we now currently live in are messed and sorry for my slang cuss words fucking stupid they dont know any better or they have family issues at home they dont know how to express it or they have friends who think it is fun to bully people which I think is very uncool people who do these things are not cool yet I feel very sorry for these kids who’s parents have to try to discipline their kids not to do this and to change their attitude I wish we can get along..I been there yet I am still standing strong It is tough when people outside world even in tha inet world treat people with no respect.

Hi Marissa! Some really nice ideas in there to try and keep the situation from getting any worse. I can imagine that sometimes when a person’s feeling down because people are giving them such a hard time, encouraging words like yours can be really nice to hear, just knowing that someone like you might know how they feel and also have their back! Thanks for commenting!

Hey I have been bullied numerous times and well it is not fun when you hear nasty rumours behind your back. Ive been there. Do not sink to the bully’s level it will make it worse. Be the bigger person as best you can be. It is an act that when they feel alone or have been hurt they take it out on someone else. There must be something that has been going on that they feel the need to take it out on you. Prove them wrong. Sweetie, theres going to be people like that in your life, just try to be the bigger person and know that you are not the person that they are talking about. Only you know the truth. Its not a great feeling to feel when someone is talking behind your back, it hurts. Especially from someone olde. Don’t let it get to you. Bye for now. Marissa.

Hey Beth! Thanks for your comment. You’re probably talking about the policies the Samaritans have around confidentiality, right? I’m sure you know this already, but Samaritans is definitely in the business of preventing suicide, it’s just that I think they have different approaches to if/how they release information in emergencies. I don’t really want to speak for them, though, so I’d encourage anyone who’s curious about those kinds of things to ask them directly… I’m sure they’d be glad to talk about it, especially if it would help you feel better knowing what to expect out of them!

just wanted to tell you about the suicide one for the , samaritans is a good helpline for someone who is suicidal because they just let you do it, whereas some people would prefer someone to try and help them not to do it.
