Nonetheless, like any form of negative pressure, one has to stand their ground. They have to make a decision and seek a solution to their problem. No man is an island, so one must communicate with others to take a step towards a resolution against the bullying.Carolin Newmeyerhttp://loganriver.com/residential-treatment-centers-services/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239739807914901688.post-49992871455079231802011-10-16T19:46:10.843-04:002011-10-16T19:46:10.843-04:00When I was 13 my best friend since 2nd grade decid...When I was 13 my best friend since 2nd grade decided she didn’t want to be my friend anymore. In addition, she convinced everyone in our group not to be friends with me either. She proceeded to make faces at me, laugh or make rude comments whenever I passed. I was thinking about this while watching an episode of Harry’s Law this week. A high school student, who wrote a snarky blog, wrote a post telling the world a classmate was gay; then told them to nod in her direction as they passed her in the hall. The classmate committed suicide. Granted I don’t think the cyber bully was guilty of murder, I do wonder how she these bullies can be so cruel. Back to my story if all of my former friends had suddenly defriended and blocked me on Facebook I would have been devastated. Not to mention dealing with all the nasty things I am sure would have been written about me. I can also picture my bully writing tomorrow at 2:00 everyone throw a spit ball at Savvy.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239739807914901688.post-57826131669420994042011-10-16T18:28:54.729-04:002011-10-16T18:28:54.729-04:00So, if I choose to defriend someone, for whatever ...So, if I choose to defriend someone, for whatever reason, it's considered bullying? I never imagined that it could be taken that way. I simply defriend when I haven't communicated with someone in a given period of time or if someone perhaps ends up being a person I don't find to be healthy or an enhancement to my life (ie, negative attitude all the time, or constant whining). Interesting article Nicole...definitely got me thinking!Dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219263772197634980noreply@blogger.com
