Internet bullying

 
I've spent most of my time online and on different forums and sites and there's something I always come across no matter the site: bullying.

As admin, mod, production leader and god knows what else I've been up to I've learned how to handle it.
I know it's hard to take critique from mr Anonymous, especially now when there's so many haters out there.
But something you have to remind yourself of, it's just empty words.
The words themselves won't affect you unless you let them do it.
And why would you want to listen to some spineless creep who doesn't even stand for his or her own opinion? By being anonymous shows us that they're too afraid of getting personal and letting you find out who they are. Probably they're too afraid of you finding out who they are so you can report them to the police or confronting him/her/them in person.
It's cowardly to hide behind a computer screen and trying to make others feel bad about themselves. For what?




What you can do:

*DON'T feed the trolls. If you ignore them, eventually they'll get bored and go away.
It's when you react to these idiots that they'll get a kick out of it.
Most of them are doing it just because they're bored as fuck, or they carry some kind of mental illness, pick one.

* If you see a message that's starting out pretty bad with foul language and a mean 'tone' into it. If you don't like it, just delete it.
Your happiness is just one click away.

*If your blog gets hacked or whatever, contact the staff on the site. There's people for pretty much everything.
And you can always contact the police.
BUT remember, the police can't keep an eye on everything that's going on online.
And it's so easy to get away with pretty much anything.

So what you can do, if you're sensitive and feel like you wouldn't be able to handle haters:
*Don't upload or send anything that would make you feel embarrassed about in a few years from now, or maybe even a few weeks from now.

Be cautious!
Don't post nudes or send half naked pictures to people you don't know that well unless you could handle the fact that they might get uploaded on some site.
How many celebrities haven't you seen got their phone hacked and the nude pictures to their boyfriends/girlfriends got uploaded on internet.
Once it's up and online it's hard to delete it, might even be impossible.

*Don't post personal stuff about yourself. No negative stuff that will give the trolls a upper hand. They love when they find something that's personal to you and what might get you upset or lose your temper.
Just remember, trolls love dirt. So keep it clean.
