Cyber bullying

It’s no secret that the world is full of bullies but when it’s on the internet you literally can’t escape it. As a victim of cyber bullying myself I know the struggle of constant battles . And as an adult I still am cyber bullied. However I know better and have a better understanding of how to deal with it. All through high school I was labeled as very sexually active. Though I wasn’t, I hadn’t done anything until I dated my baby daddy my senior year. But because sex seems to be a big topic for teens and one of the main reasons to be in relationships I was labeled wrongfully and got worse with each guy I refused to have sex with because I personally was just not ready due to past experiences as a child. So bullying at school went from being isolated at school to going all through Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat. Eventually I couldn’t take it anymore and almost became a victim of suicide. Luckily for me, my little sister found me in time. And once out of the hospital for 3 months of the school year I stayed in a different city with my great grandparents. But still couldn’t get away from the bullying. Soon I started getting texted and they started calling my house telling my father things that weren’t true that made him look at his little girl so differently. But I ultimately survived. My baby daddy stood by me & so did my siblings & parents & my bestfriend. & still to this day it makes me feel alone but I know I have people to call upon & talk too if need be. Some don’t have that opportunity. And ultimately take their lives. Does anyone else have stories of cyber bullying? Whether it be of yourself or someone else?

I was never bullied. I'm sorry you had to go through that but you are fortunate to have a strong support system.

I think almost everybody experienced cyberbullying at one point in their life. I did when this crazy girl and her relatives would message my sister and me and even create a fake FB account. The girl was the new gf of sister's ex-bf. She would threaten and harass us and she would insist that she is the most beautiful girl in their place. The bullying just started when we asked the ex-bf to pay the money that he owed. Crazy.

How did you handle it? I ask because my little cousin is being cyber bullied and I can only give her solutions from my experiences and would like others experiences to better help me help her.

@Gvdess We filed a complaint in their place. Then we were advised not to answer them because the more we retaliate, the more they will react. Eventually they stopped.
