have been bullied throughout entire life by other school kids,teachers,family etc,and as an adult in institutional/residential care [since twenty,am now twenty seven] have gone through serious abuse and bullying off fellow residents and support staff,to the point where police,major learning disability & autistic organisations have gotten involved to carry out investigations.
that is the thing with bullies,despite being able to physicaly handle self-woud not say face to face the worst form of bullying.
in own view [not saying everyone will feel the same],online bullying is-because the bully is hiding behind their screen anonymously knowing theres little chance their victim will be able to fight back...have experienced this many times,from one person especialy for a number of years,under many different accounts.
his bullying campaign had been the trigger of pyschosis,suicide attempts,SI,and one of the triggers behind severe major depressive disorder.
was diagnosed with the pyschosis and mdd last october and was told they woud have had no choice but to section if had not been living in secure residential care.
it has gotten to the point where support staff want to get police involved,had put off staff before only because was willing to forgive but he was still leaving nasty messages on user feedback on one forum,which just sends mental health diving again.
he plays the victim when cornered,like so many people with a bully mentality do,and he makes plenty of accounts to support himself and his role of victim.
bullies whether online or offline shoud always be reported,as long term bullies will really start to tear away at mental health.
regardless of whether they have a condition or bad life,there is no excuse to allow them to bully and take advantage,although it is good to offer some understanding of their issues/background.
always tell someone trustworthy its going on,when its left to go on,will get to the point where are to weak to report it.
And everyone that has bullyied STOP, and you know who you are.
was this implying are being bullied by someone on the forum,OP?
