[QUOTE=Gwoodman;42193693]You underestimate the human mind, people tend to give more of a shit for the negative stuff than the positive.[/QUOTE] Normal people tend to give more of a shit to when someone is bashing their head in for no reason or dipping their head in the toilet because of again, a stupid reason, and not throw a hissy fit from someone calling them a bitch, which in the end, doesn't helps at all, as it will only get worse.
[QUOTE=Cruma;42193514]Why is it sad that even after all of the effort her parents put to relocate her, she still did a stupid fucking move like install Kik secretly and purposefully, for what? You're asking for it, what an idiot. Her life is apparently going in the right direction at a new school so the best course of action is to... install more meaningless social apps that allow people to bully you? Wow, what a great choice, truly I emphasize with her decision. Parents are idiots too, at the slightest hint of cyber-bullying you should take the smartphone away and give her a brick phone. But the stupid girl would of probably gave everyone her number on her brick phone for more attention and get hateful text messages so she still would of died. Truly, there was no hope for this obviously mentally-ill child.[/QUOTE] threads about bullying and suicide always bring out the funny morons who have no empathy or understanding of basic human emotions

wow, this makes me sad. I really feel for that girl. social medias are so destructive, especially for those who already struggle. being cyberbullied is something which people should take seriously, not tell them to "get the fuck off the internet" or "it's just the internet". as mentioned earlier in the thread, cyberbullying is usually something which follows up after being bullied face-to-face. usually you could just go home and you'd be free until next encounter, but now that we have social medias and cyberbullying you can't just shrug it off, you'll have to bear with it even when you get home. I can't even imagine what kind of pressure this girl might have gone through, this is really sad.

[QUOTE=lolwutdude;42193697]just because you lack a social life and have no sense of emotions doesn't mean it applies to everyone[/QUOTE] I probably have more of a social life than you AND have had more involvement than you in bullying (on the worst side mind you) to know what I'm talking about.
[QUOTE=dass;42193679]"Someone says I suck, better go kill myself" I'd actually take it seriously if the abuse actually went somewhere physical, but its fucking words. Why would you give a damn about what someone else says about you? Negative stuff above all.[/QUOTE] So if someone called you a worthless sack of shit, would you just dismiss that because "lel just words"

I know this might be difficult for some people to understand, but it can also happen in the background amongst other people even after you turn your computer off!
[QUOTE=dass;42193720]not throw a hissy fit from someone calling them a bitch, which in the end, doesn't helps at all, as it will only get worse.[/QUOTE] You're really simplifying it. I doubt she killed herself because an anon called her a bitch a couple of times.

Why would you give a damn about what someone else says about you? Negative stuff above all.[/QUOTE] we've been over this already. you have to understand that everyone's mind works differently, not everyone is as "strong" as you dude, they might not be able to deal with harassment as easily as you. besides, we're not talking about some idiots saying a few mean words to you over the internet, cyber-bulling is usually regular bullying that also extends to internet social media. people can be really vicious when protected with anonymity and you really should know this much already. maybe they were spreading her personal info around, photos, contacts and what have you. please try and be decent for a second! besides, again, this is a 12 year old we're talking about; an mentally and emotionally immature person who will obviously not react to stimuli the same way a 21 year old would.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;42193035]We had this discussion the last time something like this happen, and I'm going to say the same thing here: They can call it 'cyber-bullying' all they want (which, from my perspective, trivializes the act), but it's straight-up bullying. We need to stop using "Well, it's the internet..." as an excuse for people to act like assholes.[/QUOTE] Well moreover why should somebody effectively be ejected from the internet because of constant nonstop harassment. I guess the best you could do would be to treat it as regular harassment, especially when it's people who live in your local area.
jesus christ, facepunch always likes to say it's a good forum filled with great people but i can't believe that when i see morons without empathy start blaming victims in these threads.
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;42193742]dass, i want you to know this was an actual human being that was bullied and had their social life ( which is important to many people!!! ) along with her mental health attacked by many people that caused her to kill herself wait, let me say it in a POV you can understand this girl was NOT a gypsy, this was an actual precious human being! unlike those ROTTEN GYPSIES, she did not deserve mental abuse! it's like a NON-GYPSY woman being domestically abused with verbal abuse from a NON-GYPSY husband do you sympathize now?[/QUOTE] So let me ask, why are you going offtopic and trying to create a shitstorm again? Oh right, because admins wont care since its the white knight police doing it.
[QUOTE=dass;42193754]I probably have more of a social life than you AND have had more involvement than you in bullying (on the worst side mind you) to know what I'm talking about.[/QUOTE] if you say mental abuse isn't bullying and the victim was being too much of a pussy, i'd say you don't know shit and doing the typical 'LET ME MAKE UP SOME SOB STORY BULLSHIT TO SHUT YOU UP' defense even then it doesn't justify victim blaming
[QUOTE=dass;42193754]I probably have more of a social life than you AND have had more involvement than you in bullying (on the worst side mind you) to know what I'm talking about.[/QUOTE] did the bullies bully you to the point where you turned into an emotionless robot that is incapable of reading online news articles or what
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;42193775]jesus christ, facepunch always likes to say it's a good forum filled with great people.[/QUOTE] I have never seen this, ever. Not even ironically.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42193785]I have never seen this, ever.[/QUOTE] more along the lines of "we're so much better than reddit/4chan those forums suck! we're better!"
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;42193784]did the bullies bully you to the point where you turned into an emotionless robot that is incapable of reading online news articles or what[/QUOTE] i think when he says he was involved more in bullying, he was the bully he probably tried to convince romani people they were worthless scumbags who hitler had the right idea to exterminate them
I don't know which I find more sickening: The story, or the people in this thread.
[QUOTE=dass;42193777]So let me ask, why are you going offtopic and trying to create a shitstorm again? Oh right, because admins wont care since its the white knight police doing it.[/QUOTE] Instead of whining about this, why don't you try to actually respond to the arguments made against you?
[QUOTE=LarparNar;42193687]Ok, it's the bully's fault because if the bully hadn't been bullying (this goes beyond calling someone an idiot or a faggot btw), she wouldn't have killed herself. Since it's the bully's fault, it's not her fault. Why would you even suggest that it's her fault over the bully? I guess any woman who gets raped just should have stayed home too right, because if she had she wouldn't have been raped?[/QUOTE] No, definitely think it's her fault that she killed herself, the bullies didn't murder her, she jumped and killed herself, her decision. I'm not even about to comment on the second part though because you're trying to compare internet cyber-bullying to being raped in the real world. In the cyber-bullying context, yes all she had to do with abstain from the technology, which she did not. The only thing I think I said that was dumb is that it was her parents fault, because I didn't see the part where it said the parents did take her phone away, so good on them. But that only shows how much more stupid the girl is because even after being denied the technology she still sought to re-install the apps without her parents knowledge, I don't care how you try to put it, or how 'moronic/heartless/fedora cheetos I am, the fact is she was stupid, and that's why she's no longer on Earth.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;42193847]dass is reminding me of that guy in the minimum wage thread who was like "hey i work a shit job taking it up the ass from my managers at minimum wage and i think that should be all right and i should have to struggle with 2 jobs to make ends meet!"[/QUOTE] he was one of the many posters that didn't understand that the 15 dollar wage was for bargaining reasons and thought that people working min wage aren't worth that much, right?
