Mean Emails...

My ex-friend and I had gotten into a very crazy fight. I sent her an email for revenge, but I regretted it. She started sending me mean emails. After a couple months, I went to her house and just put my foot down. She still continued to email me. Her insults never hurt, but it was the fact that she wouldn't stop that got to me. We eventually became friends again but now we're not.

cyber bullying and school bullying hurts

When i started year 8 about 5 months ago, i started out new, i started out who i really was. A goth, and every day now i get comments online and behind my back and to my face saying "your an emo, you suck, go slit your wrists, just f*** off and die" and blah blah bah. I'm 13 and i have had enough, i have learnt to take this for a few months, some people last years. Bbut i just wanted to say if any of you bully anyone, i say "what comes around goes around", which means if you did something to someone else it will eventually happen to you and you wont like it. Just ignore this pathetic lot of school kids if you can ignore them and be who you are. Thats all that matters and if you have friends that cant accept you (i had friends like that) then its time to find new friends. PLEASE DONT BE THE BULLY, BE THE ONE THAT SAVES THE VICTIM!!!!!

Not Fair!

Recently this girl blamed me for talking bad about her, and her family on formspring anonymously I told her it wasn't me, and we never spoke of it again, then after awhile she brings it back, and says that I am still going on about her, yet I had barely been on the computer, so she fights me. Then 2 weeks later she gets this other girl to fight me, and of course I get knocked down. The girl got expelled, the other one got charged. But it's not fair how I got suspended, I never did anything wrong, and now the whole school hates me and talks about me behind my back and online, I can't handle this and now I'm moving schools, I just wish that people weren't so blind and would realize that I was a victim, and I was innocent.

Mean girl

I was year 8, when i started a myspace account. i had a friend on there that i didnt usually talk to but i knew her from school. i thought she was a nice girl until she posted something mean about me on a myspace bulletin. she wrote in it telling everyone that i was a lesbian and aimed the bulletin at me, writing my full name in capitals and everything so everyone that read it knew it was me. she even put my school so even people that didnt go to my school would know who i was. EVERYONE read it, and i got asked about it at school for a while. worst thing is i had never done anything to that girl

Friends

I'm 14 and the girl who's been my best friend is the meanest person i've ever met. she send me rude adn demeaning facebook messages and comments. she turns my other friends against me by telling lies and posting rude comments on facebook. She's a real biotch on facebook every night, then the nxt day at school she acts as if nothing is wrong! We go to a christian school so you would think that most ppl would be easy to forgive, wouldn't curse or swear, wouldn't lie or steal, but my friend never forgives anyone, she swears and curses at me all the time, and she lies about me and to me. I always go to counsellors about her but she never changes. Lately she's been telling some of the guys to turn against me as well. They put hurtful things on my facebook page, and they say things to my face. I'm surprised I don't come home crying everyday. She tells me things like "you can never be with him because he's too good for you." It hurts alot and I wish she would just stop.

bully getting bullied!

Last year there was this one guy who i went to school with and thought was an ok guy. but once i added him on facebook he started commenting on all my stuff saying really mean things, like he commented on every single picture of me saying things like "eww what a fat ass" and "why do you even bother you'll never have any friends." it hurt a lot to read these things! my parents saw all these comments and talked to the school. He ended up getting suspended for bullying. That summer i had moved to a different city, and a couple months after I moved i got an email form him saying he was sorry for what he did to me because he started to get bullied himself and now knows how it feels. now were ok with each other but i'll never be able to be his friend because of what he did to me

Never give up

I was bullied in my old school by a horrible gang. They scraped my head on the wall and beat me up. They insulted me so babdly and i was constantly laughed at. I plucked up enough courage after 2 years to tell my mum and this ended. My message is :"DONT SUFFER IN SILENCE". mY HEART IS WITH VICTIMS

Hurting inside

When I was in year 7, I was quiet and shy. Though as the year went by I began to change a bit and this upset one of my friends cos they wanted to be the center of attention and all. Soon after they started sending me messages saying: "go back to your old self the new you sucks. You should stay the same and not be so boring. No wait you are boring no matter what you do." I felt hurt really badly and reading these makes me realise I'm not the only one struggling with bullies. A few months ago I was texting this guy and he said I was cute, beautiful, gorgeous and everything, but all he really wanted was pictures of me.... We got into a fight and now we don't talk. I really liked him, but it turns out it was one sided. I feel ashamed and it's hurting me inside because I still have some feelings for him. :( Honestly now I know that long distant relationships over the internet will never work out. So don't like someone if you haven't even met them, is what I've learnt.

those mean girls

i have always tried to be friends with everybody, but i never intended to hurt somebody real badly and i didnt. People just hurt me. There ae these three girls that constantly taunt me in PE that left me crying one time. I try my best to avoid them now

NOT TRUE

i have this friend who thinks she is really cool and popular. But no one reallys likes her, but she is always putting people down and commenting mean things on peoples facebooks. Her mum is a police officer so everyone is so afraid to say anything cause we think that we will be put in jail. This girl thinks she can get away with anything and its not right. i dont think that anyone should be able to cyber bully anyone... if you want to say something bad, have the guts to say it to their face. Jeeez.

Daisy Dukes.

My best friend and some other girls started commenting on my facebook pictures very meanly. They did this for no reason. This happened this week and is still happening. They are all talking bout me right now. They said my shorts were still short when they had pictures of them in their swim suits. One called me last night and told me that she loved me and that everybody was just jealous of me. I no longer talk to me ex best friend. I hope to take it to court one day because this must be stopped.

Hurt And Disgraced

I feel like crying when I hear them say hey girl, how is it going and as soon as I’m out of ear shot I know they will be talking about me. When did all this start? Well, I guess it started last year or maybe before that. All I know is that it hurts to find out who you thought were your friends are no more than everyone else in the world. Girls are the worst in the world. Yes, I know we are hard to get along with and yes I know we are a bit humorous but you don’t realize how impressionable we are we need someone to hold us close and tell us every thing will be alright but I can’t help but think why me I didn’t do any thing to deserve this so why does this happen? I’m talking about cyber bulling and bullying in general. I was bullied for 3 straight years then I took things into my own hands. I didn’t make the smartest decision. All I know is that I was angry and didn’t want to deal with it any more so I punched her. Yes I know it wasn’t the smartest idea but how was I supposed to know? A f

I was cyberbullied by "friends"

I am 14 and I got an account on formspring.me because a lot of my friends had ones as well. I would get some "hate" questions, usually grouped together, so I knew they were all from the same person. One day, I got a ton of hate mail saying how annoying I was and that no one liked me. THey also said some things so that I knew for a fact that they were from my school. In fact, I knew that they had to be one of my friends! I was appalled that one of my so-called "friends" could be a b*tch online but not to my face. After a conversation with a really good friend, I figured that the bad things about formspring outweighed the good. I deleted it and felt immediately relieved after. NOw, if anyone has a problem with me, they'll have to say it to my face or behind my back. I have yet to figure out who the mysterious cyber-bully was, but I cannot wait until the day they come clean. Cyberbullying cannot be tolerated. It hurts many teens and unfortunately, I had to experience it firsthand.

Stardoll hacker

When I was younger I used to play on stardoll, where I made a lot of friends, but one of them hacked my account and changed my password so I couldn't log on anymore. She did this because I didn't sell her some of my skirts. Luckily she didn't know my email, but i did so i could change my password via email. Then I blocked her.
