Cyber Bullying.

 Hello everyone. How are you? Today, I want to talk about something that seems to be happening quite often on the internet, bullying. You see, we all at some point in our lives have been bullied, harassed and even stalked, but with the internet readily available on just about every device, it seems to have moved on to another platform or stage, so to speak where it seems to cause more damage than the physical kind. Because of the social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so forth.  Believe it or not, there are people who believe everything that they see on the social media, as there are people who live by it as well. 

The thing is basically anyone can go online and harass, bully and even stalk some one for just about any reason. Whether the person got offended by what the intended target said or it could be that the person is unhinged and bored and likes to do that to people who they don't even know nor have ever met in person.

I have been bullied, harassed and everything else in school and I was able to deal with it. But recently with in the last few years, I have been harassed, stalked, and yes bullied on the internet. In fact, I am being harassed, stalked, and even bullied by a man from Portland, Oregon who I never met in my life. 

The point is, people can hide behind the computer and say what ever they want to say because they dont have to worry about ever having to encounter the person at all. They will do anything to drag you down to their level, at whatever way they can. Whether it is posting rude comments under your pictures, creating hate sites, or even threaten to release all your personal information.

There are many ways you can deal with this, depending on the type of harassment you are enduring. If they are not effecting you, you can just ignore them. However; if they have affected you in someway and you feel your life is threatened, you can do what I did with my stalker and file multiple reports to leave a paper trail in case that person tries to follow through on their threats towards. Now, my cyberstalker/cyberbully is a 40+ year old man from Portland. I filed multiple reports based on both the content of the threats and the fact that this man has been in/out of mental health institutions.

This is just my thoughts on bullying. Remember, everyone in their life has been bullied at one time. Thanks for reading. Have a great day and remember to pay it forward.
