Have you experienced it?
What is it?
What can you do to stop it?
I would really like to hear other peoples stories, so rant away....

I havent experienced it.

Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles. http://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/what-is-it/



we can not 'stop' people from being bullies or being mean,, we can only change how people respond to it,,,


I believe it starts with encouraging a strong sense of 'self' and a resistance to the culture where everything is 'shared' with a cyberworld full of people

it may seem simplistic, but it cant hurt if you arent reading it,,,,maybe less 'connection' on all these media sites for those who are secure in themselves yet(teens and children)

Parents have to really work overtime to make sure their children know they have the support and love they need and to encourage them in their sense of self value so others have less ability to chip away at it,,,

In my case it was my daughter being bullied I went over to their house informed the parents what their daughter was doing. Told the school. Principle talked in assembly.
Sometimes itz not that easy , call the police

It happens to adults too. It does hurt the victim/s as their reputation is attacked and maligned.

yes, I suppose that happens as well


fortunately there is legal resource when someone FALSELY attacks an adults character,,

if its something TANGIBLE that can be disproven anyhow,,,

That's true
I think I would have a word with thdm if it's not put right
Then slap a harassment order on their butt.
Police and victim support might have ideas
Citizens advice
Check yellow pages

Hahahahaha Where do I begin? I used to post on a message board for an actor and his band. I am interesting and outspoken, which of course, makes me immediately stand out = target for jealous attacks or people trying to get my attention to impress me or compete with me (please, you can't compete with the Goddess, spare yourself the heartache), even if it's to be cruel or mean-spirited. They will try to get my attention no matter what it takes. Not fun. It's not easy when I'm so exciting and such a superstar.

I rule, bullies drool.

That must have been tough, Iam. So sorry to hear that. You have a great strength about you.

I haven't had any bullying but haven't been online too much. I hope I don't.

It's sad to hear about the children that got bullied. I think there are better resources now and better education but it will probably always happen.

It seems to me that the mods on this site do an awesome job. I feel safe and protected from hate on these forums. And I like it that people don't cuss or not allowed to cuss.

Thanks for your answers, but I wish to know about harassing, nasty emails from psychos who can not handle rejection? False accounts, false accusations and I wish to know the legal side of your rights?

The mods are very helpful in getting a "restraining order" against wackos/jealous nut jobs who exercise harassment/persistent unwanted contact. Reporting them works wonders. Unfortunately, not every site has a good type of protection like Mingle does.

I have been looking into it and it is cyber stalking, not cyber bullying...
Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk or harass an individual, a group, or an organization.[1] It may include false accusations, defamation, slander and libel. It may also include monitoring, identity theft, threats, vandalism, solicitation for sex, or gathering information that may be used to threaten or harass.

Cyberstalking is often accompanied by realtime or offline stalking.[2] Both are criminal offenses.[3] Both are motivated by a desire to control, intimidate or influence a victim.[4] A stalker may be an online stranger or a person whom the target knows. He may be anonymous and solicit involvement of other people online who do not even know the target.

Cyberstalking is a criminal offense under various state anti-stalking, slander and harassment laws. A conviction can result in a restraining order, probation, or criminal penalties against the assailant, including jail.

Thanks Iam. It is my personal email account he has been using to harass me. I have blocked him from any other way of contacting me.
He has just arrived on here, but has not made a move yet.

I have never experienced it, no easy answers in my opinion, I guess it depends on the severity of it as to what action you need to take, as already said, there are some differences between, bullying, stalking, slander, harassment, or a relentless hounder, both off and online. Hope you are able to resolve the situation soon, it cannot be very pleasant for you.



On a lighter note, this reminds of the record Wooly Bully.

Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs (1965)
Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro
Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Hatty told Matty, "Let's don't take no chance.
Let's not be*L-seven*, come and learn to dance."
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Matty told Hatty, "That's the thing to do.
Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

Oh lord it's hard to be humble
when you are perfect in every way

It gets better. The actor liked me and complimented my outfits whenever I would show up to his concerts and he hugged me. He hugged loyal fans. Then he tweeted me a couple of times on Twitter. The fan girls and desperate housewives went into a tizzy and a hissy fit. Hahahahaha
