Are You a Cyber Bully???

My little sister is being bullied at school by a boy, he has broke her glasses and she had to get new one. He pushes her down and hits on her and makes her skin her elbows and knees and so far nothing at school has been done except for them to tell the child to stop But he doesn't he has gotten worse since he was told on. I have seen a little of what your talking about online here..But I usually answer my Mylot discussion from my inbox in my mail so I am rarely ever aware what others say till after I have posted a discussion. I have heard their are trolls but not sure if that means bullies or not. But it sometimes is true that only takes one sometimes to change a person's mind about something or to see it in a different way or light.

Hi LadyM, He is right in needing someone to change the wave of the bullying that goes on on the net...it is awful to think that bullying can lead to people killing themselves...guess I just carry on answering posts but am definitley not a bully, it's not worth the while...LoLo

Hi LadyM, It is so sad to think the comouter is used for bullying when it should be connecting with friends and it can be isused and abuse to bully people, I would just delete or come out of it, I wouldn't even read what they have to say, but in my case if I was following a tread and come to disagree with them, I think that is a good debate but if people don't like that and attack me I would attack them back, but then again that it me.

I have seen it here on MyLot and have been a victim of it. Luckily, I'm an adult and I know when to walk away from it. I usually try to defend people and help them out of I see someone being bullied. I was a "picked on" kid and I know how devastating it can be. I think it's horrible that people can use words to hurt others. I also think it's disgusting that kids even know how to treat people so mean.

Some people can be very mean to others. Although I sometimes make a reply filled with sarcasm, I never bully and I never try to hurt others with the things I say. Still, I think some people take internet a bit too seriously, which can be understandable at kids, but as grown up you should be able to realise that internet is only internet and that you don't really know eachother and mean things are just words.

Hello Ly Marissa, This is so sad and whats even sadder ,is that I have witnessed adults being cyber bullies. There has to be some kind of stop to this.

I think there needs to be more done about this problem. I was bullied in school too and nothing major was done about. I am a survivor but I know it is so hard to make it through it.

I plan to watch her show when it's re-broadcasted later. Yes, a lot of people can get in the "attack" mode even here....it's been done to me a few times. I had one person attack me during a discussion since my discussion what how I thought Yuwie was full of crap. Well yikes this ya-hoo out of nowhere said pretty flaming things and called me a loser, stupid and a failure and some of his friends also attacked me as well. The way he was defending Yuwie it was like, yikes does this guy have stock in it? Anyway some of my friends came to defend me...and then he and his buddies were nasty to them..and on and on....he's no longer here by the way....He actually then did a website how this place was a scam all because he got banned here--and he even had screenshots of discussions from here and even pointed me out in particular. As far as the whole bullying thing in general...it gets me ticked of no end but I DO know how to fight back---in other words I don't take crap from anyone..LOL

I have not only heard of it but seen it in action. I had a few students who were doing this and my reason for joining several sites was to look out for them and report them to parents and the site. Kids do not understand the consequences and part of that I blame on the parents for not instilling this into the kids. Kids do what they see adults doing, usually their own parents.
