I do it because I love you and I want you stronger.

To bad I already have haha. My uncle killed himself, and so did my friend Lauren..

It doesn't matter if you do block them. They could make a burnpage on facebook and everyone would see it and hundreds can bash the kid. It happened to this kid at my school. it was called the Bloom trail Burn List. [its gone now because of police] and I am trying to prevent these type of things

Actually... This year's christmas UK number one music hit was a raging against the machines song, rather than how it is usually the winner of X factor's single. A facebook group made that so. They basically picked a song, told everyone to buy it, and not buy the X factor song, and there you go, the whole country under the influence of a facebook page.

So this could actually very much so make a difference.

I'll join it

I understand that cuber bullying is a big thing. I understand the age group most affected (which is why I agreed with the junior member thing on DV), and I think it would be great to do any little thing to make any amount of difference.

If kids are stupid enough to commit suicide over something someone said over the internet than they can just go ahead and kill themselves. Like for real...

The ONLY pitty I have is for the girls (and maybe guys?) that are tricked on Myspace or Facebook or ect. For instance, a girl fell in love with a guy over Myspace. She though he was perfect. 'Till be dumped her for no reason and laughed at her face. It turns out it was a jealous kid across the street who couldn't have her. So he made a profile and broke her heart. She then hung herself. By the way, I'm not making this up. Look it up.. \

But otherwise it's pretty funny when kids kill themselves for nothing. Actually, killing yourself period is stupid.

I would climb out your computer screen and shoot you in the head for that kind of thinking.
I can only hope you are joking... however sick a joke it may be.

You can block them all you want. Won't stop them from making a whole bunch of accounts and still spamming you.

Some people are also emotionally vulnerable. While some of us know how to deal with this kind of thing, others just take it to much to heart.

Also, there are things that could be happening in this person's life that also happens on the internet that would cause them to take their life.

Should I also bring up the point that cyber-bulling not only leads to suicides, but school shootings?

If that has happened to you, I give my appologies.

YOU GUYS HERE ON DREAMVIEWS STOP BEING MEAN TO Me..

Yes killing yourself over cyber bully is dumb, but people go to extreme lengths to continue to bully people. It just takes a toll

I know. Yes killing your self over a cyber bully is dumb.. But not all cyber bullying stays on the computer. It comes from the computer to real life. IT makes people suffer more.

I sometimes wish people would just get along.

It's peoples fault to be affected by these things, it's their problem, if you want to help do so, If I happen to find myself with people like that I might help them, but I'm not gonna go looking for them (specifically, people that have had trouble with bullying).

Better than whining and trying to think about killing themselves and being unwanted, they should think why these happen in their lives and what do they have to learn from it.

CyberBully: "You are a worthless waste of life! GO KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT"
Victim: "OH GOD! No! stop! please! Ughhhh cant...close browser! CANT SET....FACEBOOK PROFILE TO PRIVATE....... AHHH!"

Sorry, but unless you are talking about cyber bullying like the crap 4chan pulls (Which I can understand, they can do some real damage), and not some immature tools who like to spam and troll their class mates, this is ridiculous. If you are being effected by words over the internet from someone you will never meet and never would be friends with in real life, than there are deeper issues than just insecurity.

Set your myspace/facebook profiles to friend only, and stop accepting the friend invite of every person you don't know. Getting pestered on IM? Block the spammers or set your IM program to only accept messages from friends you've added.

I think you may be misunderstanding the type of attack that cyber bullying can be classified as. It isn't a case of simple trolldom. There are some fairly insidious people who will go through great lengths to cause trouble for people and demean them, for example in the video on the facebook channel the kid had girls pretending to like him on messenger and then when they see him in person they tell him it was just so they could make fun of him.

Setting facebook to friend only and not accepting friend invites may be the opposite of how some people want to approach the issue since for some kids (particularly kids who are likely to be cyber bullied to a high degree) the whole point of facebook is to widen their circle of friends, not keep it closed to those that they already know.

I support it. It is a serious issue. People who have no life and low self esteem will go to extremes in order to hurt other people. It is an issue when you can't just block them out of your life and they become a hassel in real life, bothering you with real issues. It can take a toll.

Honestly, cyber bullying can suck. Last year some worthless wastes of humanity made a "Beat up *my real name*" page and started posting "reasons" why I "deserve" to have the crap beaten out of me. And guess what: Within the week when that group existed, four people beat the crap out of me and I was pushed down countless flights of stairs. I didn't commit suicide or consider it, but really, just because something starts on the internet doesn't mean it isn't real.

You could have pressed some serious charges. Did you?

Things like that only makes things worse. It passed anyway, and the person who started the group got expelled for an unrelated incident.

As much as I don't want to criticize you, that's bullshit thinking. What would happen if it didn't pass? Would you still have sat down and took potentially life-threatening abuse?
