I’ve always hated and been strongly against bullying. And up until now, I’ve never known just how much it could hurt.
Granted, I’ve been bullied all of my life, (for multiple reasons I do not wish to bring up at this time) but never, never to this extent. Which brings me to realize that cyber bullying has got to be one of the worst ways to bully people.
Now, in the time it takes to block six or seven people, you could have already: walked away, entered your house, hung up the phone, or punched someone in the face (if that’s how you do things).
People gang up on you, and they gang up on you bad. They don’t stop until… well, I don’t know when they stop, honestly.
My story:
Last night I posted a comment on someone’s picture, it wasn’t a rude comment and it wasn’t directed toward him in any negative way. But because people didn’t like the artist the comment referred to they attacked me. These people don’t know me, I don’t know them.. I barely know the person in the picture I commented on.
They comment after comment tore me fucking down. And when I tried to stand up for myself, it got even worse. And when I made another attempt to stand up for myself, they started bashing every bit of me. My appearance, how I think, what I do… I felt so helpless. I was never rude in any of my three comments. And at the end of the whole thing there was over sixty comments. Sixty heartless comments aimed towards me all because I posted that one comment.
Those people don’t know me or how my life is, but they still chose to tear me from limb to limb.
Last night, I lost any shred of hope I had left in humanity.
I only hope that whoever gets it next is as strong as I am.
