Alright, this has gone on long enough. I may have mental issues of my own but I have never been BULLIED, and I refuse to sit back and watch this poor girl get bullied any longer.

I'm on this website, called tumblr. You follow a persons blog and see everything they write. Well, there is this girl. She is younger than me I'm pretty sure and she is absolutely HARMLESS. She constantly receives anonymous hate for no reason. To be completely honest, I think the people who send her hate are people she knows in school - found out her tumblr and bully her for it.

Well, she doesn't deserve it. I don't care if she might not even go through with it, this has to STOP.

I know what you're thinking. This girl should disable anonymous comments. She does get plenty of nice and reassuring comments, people defending her (like me), but...it doesn't work enough. I know hows she's feeling, it's when the bad remarks are so loud that they..cloud out any positive ones. Please, tell me what I can do to help her.

What can I call? I want to report the ones sending her hate but it's anonymous so, I don't know how to find out. They have told her to kill herself and she says she already has a date planned, and I want to stop this. I just don't know what to do. Where can I report this to? Could I make a call? Please tell me what to do, the poor girl needs help.

I mean its one thing she has mental issues but she's being bullied as well - I don't know how she puts up with this, and she doesn't even deserve it.

Please tell me what I can do. I know it's just the internet, but these are real people just the same. If she's not going to take measures against these people then I want to defend and help her.

Have you tried the school authorities? If the bullying could lead to bodily harm, I would contact the community officer from the police department. If you know her mother, I would tell her. I know these options are drastic. You are going to tread lightly because you don't want to scare her or bring more negative attention. Good luck

I don't go to her school, I don't know where she even lives. I just see her online and I'm not even close to her, I just want to at least tip off the school or something - if I knew the school.

You can report it to Tumblr: Tumblr
They can be reached at abuse@tumblr.com

They may follow up by contacting the authorities where she lives. At the very least they would most likely suspend the accounts of the bullies and remove their posts.

If you have any idea what area she lives in, you could try contacting the police there.

Horrible people, those bullies. Don't they have something better to do?

[inadequateJellyfish]

Thank you so, so much Bark. I hope I don't upset her but I at least want to take care of those bullies. It's not my business but it's for her safety and she just doesn't deserve the hate she gets.

[inadequateJellyfish]

I just hope the staff listens to me they must get so many of these a day.

Here is a terrific site to get informed ...
Regain your name | Reputation management | Delete cyberbullying and defamation | Online image repair

Twitter account for EndCyberBullying ...
@StopWebBullying

These sources will lead you to more support(s). Bullying is NOT ACCEPTABLE on a global basis!!!!

If you feel comfortable, send me a pm here at PC with the Tumblr account of the person you are worried about. You are correct, inadequaeJellyfish, enough is enough in regards to bullying. Bravo you are taking a stand !!!

Keep in mind too that Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr are stepping up their measures to stop bullying on their platforms.

This girl should really disable anonymous comments as a first step. There's nothing shameful in it; she'd only be doing it to protect herself. The people sending her nice comments can do it just as well from their non-anon blogs.

Also, she can contact the Tumblr staff at the addresses Bark copied above, but I'm not sure staff intervenes in such cases. They certainly didn't when my own blog was targetted. (That was a couple years ago so things may have changed, who knows.)

Honestly, Tumblr is full of trolls and hateful idiots, it might be people from her school or just complete strangers who found a "target". Seen it happen before... it's one of the reasons I stopped using it.

I think the blocking anonymous comments is a good idea...that way if people want to continue bullying they wont be able to do it anonymously and will be easier to identify. Is it possible to block certain users from posting on ones blog there? She could then potentially do that.

Though sometimes it sucks but in some cases the best option becomes to leave the site...I've been on a couple sites where its just not worth staying on.

The important thing is she shouldn't be talking to these people...and talking about plans for suicide and that sort of stuff on a public blog site like that is unfortunately likely to only make it worse the people bullying don't care...they aren't going to mellow out because she implies she will kill herself. It is probably in her best interest to avoid getting sucked into talking to these people and trying to reason with them about how bad they are making her feel.

I say she should either block the anons, then block non anon posters who post nasty comments...and if these steps don't work or aren't effective she may be better off leaving the site(if it really is full of trolls and hate)...also perhaps finding a website like this would help her as then she would have a place to talk about the issues she's having and such without facing hate and ridicule for it.

unfortunately only this girl can do anything about being cyber bullied. heres why...the internet is this world wide media where people can be who ever they want to be how ever they want to be.

example child predators go on all kinds of websites making profiles that make them appear to be children looking for friends and help with all kinds of child teen age problems. law enforcement also go online to all kinds of websites pretending to be children and teens in hopes of catching these child predators.

another example psych central the rules here recommend no one use their real names and not to post any identifying information that could lead to those you dont want to know you come here to find you. add to that there are many posts here about people who have been found out so they have had to change their user names or delete their accounts and come back with a new account so their husbands, wives, children, siblings, abusers cant find them.

its just the way the internet works. since this so called child (I word it that way because without knowing who this child really is outside of the internet there is no way to verify whether this really is a child or an adult posing as a bullied child, for all we know this so called child could have more than one tumbler account building bulling around the main account to get other children and teens to gravitate to them, recently this kind of thing was what happened here in the city and how the cops caught a child molester)

look at your own profile, how is anyone here supposed to know who you are in your off computer life...they cant, unless you have access to tumblers administrative pages that may or may not list the persons IP address, possible real off internet name and location theres nothing you can do except maybe sending a complaint to tumbler. in which case maybe depending on tumblers policy of use rules these people are breaking the rules which would leave the door open for tumbler to shut down all the accounts and possibly this so called childs account too depending on what this so called child does on other peoples blogs.

I have found that when ever I have made a complaint on tumbler the rule of thumb is unless the account is passing porn or other illegal activities theres nothing they can do and a reminder that I dont have to visit blogs that are upsetting to me. they cant please everyone, each person is responsible for their own internet enjoyment. thats about all tumbler can do.

Contact the local police in her area and inform them of the cyber bullying. In many states now it is illegal. Also, get her to block anyone that bothers her, and make sure she is telling someone trustworthy about it all. And it is not only children that cyber bully. I am in my 30's and have been cyber bullied by people that are probably older than me when on Facebook. Thankfully, I have had people in my corner to back me up who also know these same people and how mean they can be. Anyway, contact the local authorities in her area if you can. Telling her to "kill herself" is a serious offense.
