It's the net man, alot less boundaries and emotional attachments.

i really dont think she means to though.
she just wouldnt think of doing that for attention.
She gets defensive and says whatever is in her head.
shes only just 13, and i probably would have come out with some of the insults she gives too.

Now they do it themselves but much worse..

Yes she tries to fight back but when there is 8 + people ganging up on you its just unfair.

Well there are some pretty mature 13 year olds on here. Age is really no excuse, and yes the ganging up is not good. But what can you do about it? People will always justify their reasons, seems that way on here anyway.

Shes not a mature 13 year old then, we can leave it at that.

You're subjectifying the issue again Joe, rather than just examining it from every perspective. No two people are alike and what may not damage you personally online could have a negative effect on someone else. Ganging up on an individual, particularly one who has been repeatedly targeted on this forum is just not on as far as I'm concerned.

Yes but thats what i mean, when people used to gang up on other 13 year olds, the people taking the piss were told to stop.. The people telling them to stop are the same people who are taking the piss out of this 13 year old.

People can do what they like but the ganging up etc etc isn't acceptable, wish i was on.

Indeed, guess people have seen a weakness in her and basically know how to bait her. It happens in playgrounds and stuff but guess it's moved to online now.

I wasn't on either, but know the jist of what happened. Just got to hope there is a mod to get there quicker next time I guess. Because i'm pretty sure it will happen again.

Exactly. That's what it amounts to in my eyes and Dezzy is talking through his ar$e if he thinks that cyber bullying is restricted merely to individuals who know one another from the real world. The internet is far more damaging than that for some people.

Yeap for sure.

Well guess we'll see what happens when she comes back.

[lily.]

[Braden]

What a ridiculous point, it's the internet, we don't know each other if you block someone who cares what they say afterwards because it won't affect you in any way. It's not like real life where it's not easy to block it all out but you can here. Who cares what they say after you block them anyway?

If anyone took what happened last night seriously then they should really look at themselves, It was a topic full of song lyrics and impersonations, if anyone really took offense at that then how the hell do you expect to cope with real life? To be fair I'm guessing that most of the people jumping on the morale brigrade are just trying to score brownie points. The fact that anyone thinks last night was bullying is ridiculous and it does nothing but belittle the effect and victims of real bullying.

I don't think you understand. It is not only the situation that happened last night. I have seen many members continously take the piss out of her. She is 13 years old, nevermind her age for a second. Ganging up on someone is unnaceptable. Plus who are you to say someone should look at themselves for questioning what happened last night. Its not about brownie points. Its about peoples feelings. If my 13 year old daughter was on the internet, i would HATE the fact if she was being taken the piss out off. Who knows? She may deal with similar activity in real life and comes to the internet for a an escape, then there is immature people like yourselves, trying in anyway possible to make her TiBB life hell.
Its not nice dezzy, and if you cannot see that then maybe you should look at yourself.

This thread would never even have had the potential for existence had the forum took it's own members advice and adopted the obvious, entirely logical stance of making it 16+.

And I know, I know, some of you young buggers are smart, but that's the idea. You lot would slip through the net. Kiddies who are obvious kiddies, and not that that's a bad thing but they just don't mesh with an adult forum, would be caught.

That could very well be done. However people could still lie. There is not way a person can tell if someone is old enough. ID is not required to joina forum.

All she does, is give as good back, as what she gets. wouldnt anyone?

Of course there is. Common sense. MeMyself&I is quiet clearly the age she says she is, such is obvious from her posts.

The ones who can't feign maturity get caught in the net, the ones who fit right in and make us all think they are older don't, and that's okay, because as they proved they are obviously mature and level headed enough to take part in discussions with others on a public forum.

Quality control. We need it. It would save so much needless trouble.
