NOTE: I do not mean to offend anybody in any way. Please do not take this the wrong way.
Today's society seems so fragile with cyberbullying. So many teens and kids' lives are ruined over this. But I never see why. I've never actually been cyberbullied, but once and a while there are some random people online that make fun of me and mock me. I usually just forget it and not really care. But other people just cry over it. Does anybody even know about the block button? It's on almost every social media website. You're in a game lobby and somebody doesn't stop bullying you? Press the mute button. It's so easy to get rid of these cyberbullies from your life when people can't even do that. Sometimes I think these people need to toughen up.
Well, there's so many kids on the Internet, but they might not know about the block button. I also don't see why people just over react. In school a few days ago, we had a discussion about cyber bullying, and we read a little story about a girl on a social network getting impersonated, and she told her dad, they printed out the posts, and gave then to their school principal. Yeah, in situations like that, it seems like there's nothing else to do, but there is. She just could have changed her account password.
The people who told us about bullying, and they said, because of cyber bullying, suicide rates are going up, I don't mean to offend anyone when I say this, but, why? Why would kids and young teens take their own life because of it. I just don't get it. Yeah, it would drive them to no end, but that doesn't mean they can end it all, if it was between taking your own life, and staying alive with friends and family, I would choose the second one. Some kids and young teens just over react sometimes.

It's just part of that stage in everyone's lives. For some, adolescence can seem like an emotional rollercoaster, and when you factor in different levels of emotional and psychological stability, along with the raging hormones, there's a lot more variance than you'd expect. A lot of the time, the really damaging cyberbullying events are the ones that bleed into the real world, and aren't simply solved by changing a password or hitting a block button, and when it starts to turn a massive number of people against you, it can get real easy to feel isolated or targeted.
That's not to say I agree with suicide. It's a horrible way to go, and a really poor decision to make.
Tyler the Creator had a very good view on cyberbullying. I am censoring it because I don't want to get b&.
"Hahahahahahahaha how the flop is cyber bullying real hahahaha nugget just walk away from the screen like nugget close your eyes haha."
You can tell what I mean when I say 'flop' and 'nugget'.
These are the type of people who just DONT GET IT.Meddling on and on and on on how "ITS NOT BIG OF A DEAL!" IT IS. GET IT STRAIGHT. People have feelings. take the time to understand. AS IF DEPRESSION CAN BE REMEDIED BY THE CONTENTS FOUND ON A FIRST AID KIT, WERE A STICK OF TNT LIT ON BOTH ENDS, COULD DESCRIBE IN DETAIL THE WAY THE SKY BENDS, AND THE MOMENT ITS ABOUT TO FALL, DESPITE AN ARMY OF FRIENDS WHO CALL US INSPIRATIONS , WERE CONVERSATION PIECES BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO DONT UNDERSTAND. SOMETIMES BEING HAPPY HAS LESS TO DO WITH FEELINGS AND MORE TO DO WITH SANITY.
I wasnt the only one who grew up this way. till today kids are still being called names.... FEEL. CARE. LEARN.

Oh look, someone read/watch a viral poem and thought that vomiting out it's content to make a point would prove anything.
Anyway OT:
Humans are social creatures and we can't just 'switch off' from negative social interactions and experiences. They tend to linger on even after you cut that connection. It is also a reason why some popular Youtubers become depressed by some negative and hurtful comments despite the even higher numbers of positive comments.
And when it comes to the notion of 'how can they be so fragile?';
Each person's threshold of tolerance to certain situations are different. Take how some jokes are taken into offence by someone while it being funny to others, or how a person find a scene scary or romantic while you remain indifferent?
As such each person have varying degrees of tolerance before something negative or a certain personal topic (Like talking about a relative's death) may hit the sweet spot and cause them to buckle down. Even if you switch the interaction of, you will still remember it.
Suicide is also a personal choice that is difficult to justify and discussing what a poor choice with it not only solve nothing but also dampens the mood of the victims loved ones.
Does anybody even know about the block button? It's on almost every social media website.
Except many times, cyber bullying is a team effort or one person makes multiple accounts. Imagine on Twitter for example, that someone writes you a hateful comment. You can block them, but that's not going to stop the next one. What if you received 60 hateful comments every day from different accounts?
Or maybe it's a picture. Someone could take an embarrassing picture of you and share it on Facebook or Twitter. Then people could re-post it or re-tweet it hundreds or thousands of times, until the next viral meme is a picture of you making a weird face.

It's pretty amazing that you can mean-spiritedly insult and bash on someone who is obviously highly affected by cyberbullying and then immediately following make the same exact point that he did. Way to go, sport.
Sir. Sir.
This discussion is not to do with the topic of "Cyberbullying".
Please keep on topic or action will be taken.
Thank you~
You mean how you and that other guy are insulting each other? Is that not cyber bullying? And me discussing your previous and current actions in this exact situation, isn't on topic? Please tell me more fairy tales.
Bullying is repeated action. Not a single incident on a single day.
I thought they still taught that at primary school.
And bullying usually has a victim and a criminal (For lack of better word).
We're both insulting eachother. This is debate/borderline argument.
Actually, if you read back through this thread, as I doubt you have, you'd see "cyber bullying" takes many different forms. Some often subjective. And to me, you are bullying the other guy. So if you're so devout to show someone on the internet who is "right", please challenge my opinion, and tell me it's wrong.
Can we just get back on track? This is to discuss cyberbullying, not to insult people insulting other people. Please calm down.
...anyway, I think it's kids not knowing what they are doing. The Internet was made to be more free, so they forget that school rules don't apply. It's entirely allowed to hate, and it's not like everybody is going to have the same opinion as them.

Well, we should have more sympathy for kids dying in Africa than we should than with these internet cowards.Oh no! A completely random person called you stupid on the internet?!? That must be horrible, even more horrible than what people in Africa have to endure.
Cyberbullying is a problem, but kids get drawn to the screen and realise if they don't argue there could be linked arguments IRL which you're afraid of. Anxiety hurts when you've just been insulted online and you have to go into school the next day with a knot in your stomach about what is going to happen and if you're going to get the same or even more IRL.
If you've been called fat online, it hurts you more because you don't know what the other person is like, the fact you can't go to their house and strangle them till they start gargling blood is also a downside.
People need to realize words are words, and only hurt you as much as you let them. Which is why I think it's the dumbest thing ever when parents raise their child in a picture perfect world, away from all harm and tell them life will always be like that. Because guess what? It won't. And when these kids go out on their own, whether it's the internet or outside, and someone treats them a little different than how they were raised in their bubble of perfection, they snap and cry and kill themselves because it's not "right", it's not "how life is". So that's why I think kids need to "man up" and actually face there problems, and take them into their own hands. Someone making fun of you online? Turn off the machine, walk outside, and realize a world where words are nothing but noises that people spew their awful opinions and ideas with.
(let's get this thread going again)
It's unstoppable. Unless every single person in the world using the internet got a big juicy heart it's not going to stop.
I could say.
Punches only hurt as much as you let them, c'mon man, painkillers?
You're saying bullying is natural and should be allowed?
Except a kid in Year 8 in my school who was bullied day and life by words and offered a cream egg to someone and they denied it so he killed himself because the person was his sister. He lost all hope of anyone loving him, even family.
I'd like to go to your house, bully you day and night and intrude your personal space without touching you, then slam you down on the internet, making facebook pages about you and putting your face on 4chan /b? Yeah, it wouldn't matter, as it'd only hurt as much as you let it, and you seem like a badass mofo.
No one cares about Facebook pages, there's a report function for a reason. Everything dies on /b/ that isn't good. (personal army threads, like you're suggesting).
And please, try to imagine a world where physical pain and mental are different things, and then try to even fathom comparing punches to words. Please try.
And after you do that, yeah sure, come to my house and punch me and make fun of me. Guess what I'll do? Nothing. And bullies feed of reaction, and when there's none, they give up and move on.
Take a guess at why I wouldn't react.
Too slow, I'll tell you. Because I'm not a whinny little babby. If you let someone tear you down and stomp on you, and you at any point can do anything about it, and then come on the internet and whine about it. Then yes, you deserved it and it is natural. It's human instinct to be the alpha, and want to be on top. And letting people get that leverage on you is giving up on yourself.
Huh. So I'm not the only one who just ignores the try-hard cyber-bullies. Granted, I don't block them, but that's because I find it funny how hard someone may try to get someone else to react in a major way, doubly so if they target me (I'm too insensitive to give a crap about what people think).
Today's society seems so fragile with cyberbullying. So many teens and kids' lives are ruined over this. But I never see why. I've never actually been cyberbullied, but once and a while there are some random people online that make fun of me and mock me. I usually just forget it and not really care.

Now please, don't derail the thread.
Please show some respect, and point me to where it says you have dictation over who talks to you.
