Discussion: Do you think cyberbullying exist?

It definitely exists, and it can be worse than bullying done offline sometimes, because things on the internet can be spread extremely quickly. Cyberbullying can have a serious effect your career and reputation and can potentially ruin someones life, or result in them losing their lives.:grimacing:

I don’t get how someone can say that it doesn’t exist

True that.

People really have taken this too far with all these disgusting memes, screenshots of a conversation where they throw shade at that person and so on. Absolutely disgusting & disrespectful.

Also, I remember some idiot said that no one broadcast sexting. Nonsense! People do that s**t in real life!

YES. Especially in this generation.

Way too far, I know so many girls who have even had their pictures and DMs being sent around without their consent or knowledge. Even people being falsely accused of things through internet gossip. It’s horrible :pensive:

Yes it does and it’s a big problem

Well I thought cyberbullying discussion would be interesting since I like to hear people’s insights.

Of course it exists, I would actually find it offensive if someone were to say that itdidn’t because that’s disrespectful to the people who have actually taken their own lives over cyberbullying. It’s evident, we see it everyday. You log onto instagram and you see a terrible comment attacking someone’s appearance, that’s cyberbullying.

Exactly!

People think they have thick skin saying that cyberbullying is a myth when it isn’t. This happens every damn day and people these days are so freaking insensitive!

Exactly! I find that people are very insensitive towards bullying in general, I see people try to and justify it by saying ā€˜we all got picked on in school, I got told that my hairstyle was ugly once’, it’s a lot worse than that, bullying is something that can actually affect the way you see yourself for life. Thank you for understanding and talking about these subjects. :relieved:

Exactly.

I know exactly how it feels to be bullied because I suffer from PTSD since I get a lot of flashbacks of the shit that happened to me since I was a childhood to now. You can’t also blame me for not having any social media accounts due to the shit that went down and the fact that I hung around with the wrong kind of people.

Guess everyone agrees with us that cyberbullying does exist. It’s the same impact with physical, sexual, emotional bullying.

Sorry that you had to go through that! If you would ever like to talk don’t hesitate to send me a pm.

I don’t blame you for not having social media at all. If you want my opinion, life is a whole lot better without it. It’s filled with shallow, materialistic posts anyway and then with the nasty comments. :wink:

Right, all bullying is terrible. I wish more people thought this.

I totally agree.

If I want to use social media, I’d stay anonymous. I have a Tumblr where I keep anonymous and post about things I’d like to talk about such as clothing, make up, ranting about certain things.

No worries! That topic also included cyberbullying as one of many types of bullying, but since your topic is only about cyberbullying, it won’t need to be merged. :wink:

That’s alright then.

Sometimes I like making discussion threads to get other people’s point of view without throwing shade at them.
