Fortunately for m8 my headmaster was an ex pro rugby player and looking back I think he was quite glad I did what I did with the bullies as I often ended up in his office for it but never got in trouble some how
Fortunately for m8 my headmaster was an ex pro rugby player and looking back I think he was quite glad I did what I did with the bullies as I often ended up in his office for it but never got in trouble some howMy daughter did similar and was classed as a bully by the headmaster for sticking up for someone who was vulnerable
Course it's even worse on some internet sites ... recently just on a site and someone thought it would be funny to pick on young girl with disabilities
Course no moderation. No protection , So sammy strikes again
So glad to see that kind of thing doesn't happen here
@Sammy it will always be dealt with on here.It everywhere I'm saddened to say there's not a community that's isn't dealing with this issue
@Sammy it will always be dealt with on here.
Some shocking stories coming out. I won't go into too many things, atm at least anyway.
But absolutely awful stuff coming out.
What do people feel about cyberbullying and the way it's increasing?
Problem is how to deal with such things when kids are connected 24/7It is so easy to be a keyboard warrior, they can sit behind a screen and keyboard and feel powerful
It's so easy to create a persona
Ever watched catfish ?
there's so many sites where anonymous chat can happen , with no moderators.
Vulnerable people are picked on for no reasons and to make the key board warrior feel better about themselves
I'm sure @Stew will pass comment on this one .. pet hate !!

To be honest, considering the nature of what you have just said, can you PM it to me first please before distributing it to members?Oh and just a quick ps
If you are watching little janet or john texting their "friends" for hours just check on the name of the site.
If anyone with concerns wishes to inbox me privately I am sure on this occasion Admin won't mind me telling you the name
Yes we always did and always had overall control of the computers as I kept admin control also our wireless internet shut down each night at 10pm and mobiles left downstairs overnight. The fact the boys knew I could access anytime with or without them ensured they stayed the right side of the lineThis is the other issue
Social media is everywhere
When something happened in school on Friday , by the time you went back on Monday it was forgotten about ..... now my Monday the world and its mother knows?
If we are talking about young people use if gadgets
Do parents really monitor?
Okay.. as I have just said to @Stew and after a quick review and search of this place I will say that as it's not a swinging site per se, but a chat room site, there's no immediate such need to share the name to warn others off.Oh and just a quick ps

Mr TattsGreat replays and some very moving accounts of what people have gone through during their lives.
Bullying is a NO in whatever format it appears physical, mental or cyberspace. We all stand up to it in different ways....may this continue and lead by example.
So much bullying goes on behind closed doors and for me any man that lays a finger or mentally bullies a lady or child is no man, has no balls and needs a serious hammering...
Xxxxx :0)) T
Yes this was awful and sadly the second suicide in two years, from cyberbullying. Awfully tragic.A local girl recently hung herself due to online bullies, this made the national press. The bullies couldn't say anything to her face but abused her on social media, gutless pigs.. This poor girl was 14 and felt she had no where to turn.
This is why I don't use social media apart from business advertising, full of it xYes this was awful and sadly the second suicide in two years, from cyberbullying. Awfully tragic.
Our sons friend did exactly the same thing... That's why he stood up for someone else when he saw it was happening xxA local girl recently hung herself due to online bullies, this made the national press.

It's so awful and not enough people do stand up to them, or help enough when someone is in that situation including me. We lost a member here due to bullying, I didn't see it before it was to late and she left, if only she spoke out xOur sons friend did exactly the same thing...

Do you know who was the bully ??It's so awful and not enough people do stand up to them, or help enough when someone is in that situation including me. We lost a member here due to bullying, I didn't see it before it was to late and she left, if only she spoke out x
Yes after someone come forward and reported them for what they were doing, we could only go on who said what sadly.Do you know who was the bully ??
Heat hear...,What does disturb us the sheer scale of cyberbullying and keyboard warriors. If you feel that brave to knock someone, and slag them off behind the anonymity of social media and being online, then you're an actual coward.
If you've got something to say, then say it to their faces directly...
Bullying in any shape or form is simple cowardice.
Bullies, as we all know, prey on people to make themselves feel better about the fact they're shallow, meaningless creatures themselves - who usually have a hole so wide in their lives where they're missing something or someone.
So by being a bully, they get to feel better about themselves.
As in reality, they're no one. A nothing. A nobody..
I agree with this whole heartedly. I would also say that if you can get perspective on what these people actually mean to you i.e. if they have no influence on your life outside of this bullying scenario then what they think or say will soon come to mean less and less. I know it's difficult when you're in the moment but afterwards that perspective stops you being affected in that way again by idiots xWhat does disturb us the sheer scale of cyberbullying and keyboard warriors.

Completely agreed! You have to actually pause and reflect and think to yourself; "Wait a minute, what do they really mean to me anyway?" And you'll soon be able to laugh at them and laugh it off. xI agree with this whole heartedly.
