Adult Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is a huge problem in today's world. Here are some tips to help eliminate this problem, should it happen to you.

Transcript:
Online hostility and harassment, also known as cyberbullying is alive and well in social media, and is directly affecting adults. Did you know that over 25% of adult Americans have reported being a victim of online bullying, or they know someone else who was a victim?

In today’s video I’m going to show you how to educate yourself about cyberbullying in order to eliminate it.

Online harassment occurs in a variety of places online. This can include rude messages, digitally altered images, hacking a victim’s accounts, publicly sharing secrets, and cyber stalking. All of the above are considered psychological abuse. Cyberbullying can potentially be more harmful because it is not easy to escape from it. The best response is not to bite the bait that someone is trolling with. A “troll” is someone who is purposefully disrupting online communities. If they receive no reaction from the attack, then they will have to move on.

Here's what you can do:
Keep track of all the harassing incidents and document everything! “Block” the harasser on social media sites, and report the incident to your internet service provider. And finally, when in doubt, always contact law enforcement with your questions.

One of the reasons I like to bring up adult cyberbullying is because it can happen to anyone at anytime. Victims often have low self-esteem, increased suicidal ideation, and emotions ranging from fear to embarrassment, or even depression. Being informed and knowing your rights is one of the best lines of defense in extinguishing an online threat. Educate yourself to eliminate it.

They've did it to me. I've blocked, report and ignored. I hate trolls. Things like that make me want to call the police.

This is advice that is unhelpful and illustrative of lack of true knowledge on the subject of adult cyber bullying. Ignoring them will not make them go away. 13 years and counting, the same group of people who have tormented me, online, are still out there, still at it and nothing will stop them except an arrest warrant.

And another form of cyber bullying is someone calling people names

I'm a victim of cyberbulling. I saw hate videos about me on another profile. People were saying awful things about me in the comments. I reported but Instagram said it doesn't violate community Guidelines. What do you mean it doesn't??? So the advice I got was, block the user. I deleted my Instagram. If I feel that I'm in any sort of danger, then I'll go to Law Enforcement.

Yet, when you try to contact YOUTUBE to remove the video in question, they ignore a request or say that you should try and contact the uploader!! Impossible to do if you're stressed out having a panic attack. YouTube needs to have a emergency support number for harassment. However, being in California I found out that Cyber Bullying and Harassment is against the law, so I guess that's the route I'm having to go.

Many times it is caused by very poor moderation

My narc is my previous co workers, who complained intelligence wronglfully about me that I am a dangerous terrorist, future child abuser, national hater, mental paitient and a bad character woman. Now intelligence and previous coworkers collectively received help from alpha toxic males of the society to do physical surveillance on me, cyber bullying, cyber stalking by hacking, monitoring and forcefully playing certain content of their choice to me on my phone so I think a certain way, creating psychological abuse. They are constantly trying to diagnose me of this label or that label, slandering, shaming, smearing, humiliating, through my social circle and creating relational bullying by breaching privacy.

It is scary when bullying narcissists live near you, they know or can find out easily where you lived. I was stalked in the UK by adult women all because I blocked them. I found out they were trying to stalk me by someone who could see the forum and they sent me a screen shot. I contacted police and the website owner when they did this. Probably saved my life someone sending me the screen shot. I have evidence and names.

This person who is trolling me has been going behind my back and constantly contacting my parents and saying that I do things when I don't do anything to them how do I report them

[moniquedelport]

Mine aren't trolls they are a group of creators who simply don't like me on here. They follow me on here and harass me everywhere and anyone that talks to me on here. Slander and character assassinate me. It's causes more harassment and trolls
