I'm very sorry that you've been victimized in such a cruel way. No one should experience cyber bullying.
I know because I been looking for help. I am adult who bully by teenager who suffer from a mental illness .

I also agree nobody should experience cyberbullying. Some of the bullies are extremely cruel and malicious. It can, and does, literally make people sick. (yes, its happened to me )

When there are no resources available to turn to for help it worsens an already sick and wrong situation.

Sometimes the best (and only) option is to ''delete'' account and run from the bullies. They are jerks, frankly.

An image that comes to my mind is that of the so-called 'Wizard of oz' hiding behind a curtain, not so powerful or brave in reality as he wanted people to believe. That is the epitome of an internet bully to me.

That sum it up with one troll who admitted they were like this in real life must have no one to hang out with

Good post.

There are so many people out there who hide behind anonymous usernames and think that gives them the right to behave in ways they would never in real life. This is what I mean when I say I don't endorse virtually any social media. I think it can often do more harm than good. Just my take.

I have a hobby and there is a quite popular site for folks that share that interest. Massive base of members. I have been on it for quite awhile and I actually amassed the third largest post count on the site. Tens and tens of thousands. Whatever. I contributed a fair bit, if I do say so myself. Recently, the person running the site censored a thread I started because the response to that thread would have made his sponsors angry (this site has tons of ads). So, after more than 200 views, there were miraculously zero responses to this thread on a very hot topic. How about that!!

I did not PM the owner. I did not raise a ruckus. I have principles and one of them is that my country was founded on free speech. Polite and appropriate, but free expression for all. I stopped posting. I PM'd my buddy, who has the most posts. Told him I was done. Deleted everything on my profile. Changed my avatar to a burning black hole. Changed my signature quote to: The best amendment is the first amendment. I logged out and that was that. Forever. 50,000 posts--goodbye!!! Poof!

I guess what I am saying, Buffy, is that sometimes our experiences steer us in a new and different direction. I don't know about your involvement in things like facebook and Insta-whatever and Snap-whoever. But if you feel you are being bullied, maybe it is time to take another look at what you can control. There are jerks on the internet, we know this. You and I cannot, unfortunately, control that. What we can control is our participation in some of these things. Maybe it's time for you to reevaluate what you really want to do with respect to all that.

Sending you positive vibes and support. It sucks. But maybe taking some action will help empower you. I often find that when I feel most vulnerable and helpless, action can get me out of it. And then, you might feel like you have more control. All the best--

I don't know if you ever tried simply saying ''thank you for your input'' to their mean statements. Bullies thrive on negative emotion. That response is bland and emotionless. They wouldn't receive much feed from that response.

Although there are trolls everywhere, sometimes the site you are in and the type of content may contribute to a higher or lower likelihood of encountering trolls. Which site was this if you don't mind me asking?

And as someone who deals with my fair share of irate, irritated and goading gamers online, I sometimes find that responding with humor helps relieve any upset I may be feeling from people's comments. Most of the time, not responding and blocking said people will suffice.

It was on a YouTube video.. At that time frame the video wasn't place under another topic based on race with intention for trolling and harrassment.

I posted somewhere again where I have been trolled. It’s not one of the worst places, but some of the posters are extremely up themselves.

And apparently too stupid or ?????? To realise that each cold hard word lacking in human empathy directed at another poster makes this world a colder, meaner harder world. For some reason some of the posters there don’t “like” me much. Frankly I don’t give a toss since they are far from “superior” as they think they are. Yawn and growl. I only made 3 posts and I don’t think I’ll check back. One of the trolls there is still rampant. The mods there let them get away with it and even favour them. Not about anyone on pc

One of the trolls started threatening me for three months and then two months later I was falsely reported for being a bully and slander with accusations that never happened out of retailigation who then threaten to have my YouTube account banned and then threaten have call the cops on me because I report someone who was threaten me.

Hi, Buffy

This is a typical description of what's termed as cyber mobbing or the online social media witch-hunting trend as it's very common within all ages 4-40-and over.
I wouldn't take this to heart as it's just dickless smurfs showing themselves up, whilst leaving evidence all over these platforms.

Youtube is a prime example of what I termed youtube groomers out seeking to involve an unwitting victim into some humiliating event at the cost of themselves for orchestrating the whole event.

We all know what the culture is at the moment, gang stalking online and offline, fake news campaigns, lockdowns, protesting about the right to be not controlled, Trump election, and all that in a few year's time will resemble the A-Team show.

Please just brush them off as it's a display of whats makes them, them!
