Default Signing out for good - an apology

This may not be well punctuated or even legible but I'm a mess right now and this is an instinctive thing for me so I am sorry if it's hard to understand

Last night, the friend of someone I am extremely close to committed suicide as a result of online bullying. Everyone I know has been hit extremely hard by it and it's my first real experience of the damage that cyberbullying can do to people

I feel as though I need to apologise for my own actions over the past few months. I may not have been directly involved with it but I still had an intense association with that.

Some of the comments I've heard made by the group I associated with were chillingly similar to the ones that have appeared to cause a young woman not two years older than me to take her life and that's unforgiveable. Picking on people because of their weight or appearance is something I always just took for granted, I didn't realise the hurt it could cause and this has hit me in the strangest way

Sorry to everyone for anything I have done, my actions were out of line and I'm pretty ashamed of myself.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

Thanks also for the apology, it can be uncomfortable realising you have been in the wrong but admitting it makes you a better person and enables you to make better choices in the long run.

I had a friend take their own life because of bullying & being targeted on by groups of people, its just a shame it goes to this extent before people finally realize what they're doing is wrong. Sorry for your loss though.

Everyone says or does things they regret. Great to see you put that behind you, and I'm very sorry to hear about your friend.

This forum, for all its faults, got me through the toughest time in my life, which I know sounds melodramatic. Think about staying, you'll need friends around you x

The whole point of life is to learn from your mistakes and come out of it as a better person. A few years back I ignored someone on Facebook I knew at school who was only reaching out for people to talk to because she was lonely. She committed suicide too.

The fact of the matter is you beat yourself up about it for a bit, dust yourself down and come back better and that starts with what you have done today by accepting responsibility.

I wasn't affected by what you all did so my opinion is worth squat I know but at least you came on and faced the music so I don't think personally you should hang your account up for good.

Sorry about your acquaintance as well. Being in the position of wanting to take your own life is a horrible place to be. I'm sad for her/him and their family.

Maybe a heartfelt personal PM to the people that were involved in your groups activities would be a good place to start.

All the best chief.

Sorry to hear about your friend. It's awful when something like that hits so close to home. THE problem with the internet is it seems so anonymous but people are still affected terribly. You've Been the bigger person to acknowledge what you did was wrong, even by association but now you need to put it behind you and chalk it up to experience and learn from it.

Take care of you and your friends

Sorry for your loss.

I think sometimes people don't realize the effect words on the internet..even from strangers..can actually have on someone.

I hope you are okay, and your friend's family too. Good on you for apologising - though I don't see what you've posted that would upset anyone, it's mostly just harmless sass.

I'm sorry for your loss.

As I said a couple of days ago, Internet sites can be a place to learn how to mature, I feel that FB did it's job here, only it sadly took someone elses life in the midst of it all.

But you have any issues you should talk to me or one of the other members on here, I'm sure we would all hear you out.
