Well for my friend it included being called up to the principles office and getting in HUGE trouble. If you're an adult it's just being filled with guilt.

it shouldn't be illegal for people to kill themselves as this doesn't go against anyone else but the person who is trying to kill himself. It is not good to give up and kill yourself because tomorrow is another day and things do get better sometimes depending on your situation and your approach to things. Sometimes we convince ourselves that there is no other way because we had enough and we are tired. At the end of the day it is your life and your decision. There shouldn't be any laws in our constitution that forbid killing yourself as it is a very personal decision. If people follow the law, there would be no suicides in this world.

Pre-history. They think it goes as far back as using a basket or log for a boat and using a woven basket-material for a sail. Anyone who has paddled a boat with a strong wind at their back has realized that with a bit more of something to catch the wind they need not paddle at all.

Cyber bullying is terrible. People go through depression and doubt themselves on everything. They may think that other's will make fun of them. They think that they deserve to get made fun of. They are affected in many ways. The main thing is is that it changes you and makes you feel horrible. And when people realize they could have avoided it entirely by either blocking the bully or not using the internet service that was hosting the bullying in the first place, they just lose it.

There aren't necessarily any ways you can "prevent" cyber bullying, but you can stop it when it happens. If you feel as though you or someone you know is being cyber bullied, you should report it to your parents, school administrators, and to the officials of the site on which you are being bullied.

To gib someone in the most "normal" sense i.e. "You really gibbed him."

It is to blow apart and dismember a individual with a weapon of some sort, although this is the definition of it in video game terms. From my experience this is where it is most commonly heard, but this is a slang meaning of gib. I would advise you look at a dictionary since there are several different meanings of gibbed. both slang and other wise, for example it means a castrated cat and several other things.

Please excuse any bad grammar I wrote this relatively late at night for me, and it was a long day.

A side note. Gib and gibbed are essentially the same thing just used in different tenses.

[Check the link below for more information] The supposed anonymity of being on-line gives many a false sense of power, and a feeling that they can abuse others. In general it is called cyber-bullying. It is serious; people have no idea what their on-line victims are going through, or how devastating insulting comments can be. People who insult others routinely are bullies.

One thing to do would be to contact administrators or supervisors at the site, if that is possible. That kind of behavior is not tolerated here at WikiAnswers, for example, and we do everything in our power to stop it cold, including temporary and permanent blocks. Bullying back doesn't seem productive, and depending on the likelihood that the offending person can physically locate you, it's just a bad idea.

Report the abuse to whatever authority you can locate. If you are on a closed system at a school, for example, report the person and follow the advice of the administrators you report to. Scary, yes. But much better than allowing bullies to believe they have the power to abuse others without consequence. Please let us know if that kind of thing is happening to you here. It is not acceptable and we will take whatever steps we can to prevent it.

If the situation is frequent and it is possible to do so, avoid the sites that the person goes to. There are many other strategies to consider, depending on your situation and need.

They're is no "Worst" bullying. The only type of bullying is physical. All other types such as cyberbullying and verbal bullying are just words that have no after affect financially or educationally unless you make it so. If you let the result of a few buttons being pressed on a keyboard bother you so much and possibly contemplate suicide, then how do you expect yourself to get through actual troubles in life. You are the real bully if you let words hurt you when that person means nothing to you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why Do Kids Get Bullied?: Becuz Those Jerks Thinks those kids are losers but you really shouldnt listen to them your perfect and awesome just the way you are (; ----------------------------------------------------------- Answer I went to school in the 1950s and there was even bullying then, but certainly not as bad as it is today. Bullying is a heavy duty problem in the school systems and needs to be stopped. Bullying has caused children to live in fear of being at school, accepted for who they are, walking to and from school and this can lead to the victim running away, grades failing, unfortunately suicide in some kids and as we all know about Columbine we sure should learn from this. Most shootings at school are about kids that have been bullied one too many time. Of course this is not the normal reaction a victim should have, but it does happen. Girls bullying are ranking almost kneck-in-kneck with the boys!

I want you to know that most people are bullied more than once in their lifetime. It's certainly not uncommon. If you can walk away from the situation then do so. If you can't do the best you can and if the bully is carrying a weapon run as fast as you can to any house and bang on the door or run into a store for help. Try to stay with groups of kids instead of wandering around alone. Bullies look for kids who are small in stature, quiet, shy and will simply pick on them for the sake of it or because they could be smart or the bully doesn't like the look of them. It is said that if a bully comes towards you walk tall, stare straight ahead (not at the bully) DON'T LOWER YOUR HEAD and say nothing! Sometimes this method works and sometimes it doesn't.

It is tough on kids today to report bullies to their counselor or teachers at school and especially their parents because reporting a bully always gets back to the bully and things can become worse for the victim (even the bullie's gang can come after the victim.) Parents need to take this very seriously. The bullies of today just don't give you a black eye or split lip, but they can maime a victim severely and it can lead to death in some cases.

Not too long ago a gay man in Vancouver, B.C., had gone to a straight bar and simply had a drink. A group of bullies didn't particularly like a gay in the bar and followed the victim out the door and beat him to death. British Columbia has a zero tolerance for this behavior and the law comes down heavy on bullies and it should be this way. The educational system is also picking up the pace.

Some people list "bullying" as pecking order related. Meaning the stronger survive and the weaker lag behind. I disagree with this theory and find bullies are simply bullies and must be stopped! If bullies were so fearless and strong then they wouldn't be picking on the smaller kids or the kids they know won't fight back. In Canada bullying is taken seriously and society and government is making the parents more accountable for their bullying children. It's quite surprising what one can find out about a bully:

Bullies are frustrated individuals that are angry inside. They may come from split-up homes, to abusive parents or no parents at all or parents that don't care and simply let the bully run wild in the streets. I was quite surprised that some fathers will belittle their sons (especially) by saying, "There are only winners in this world, not losers" or, "quit being a baby and stand up for yourself. Get the first punch in! Do what you have to do to win!!!" Apparentely some fathers feel winning is everything and in 50% of these fathers have indeed failed miserably in their own lives and are living through their son(s). Some fathers were jocks or over-achievers and expect their children (especially sons) to be the same.

When I was 12 years old there was a bully that picked on all of us smaller kids (I am a girl) and I was terrified of him. He was 3 years older than me and of course about 60 lbs. heavier. He would punch me on the arm, steal my bike, pull my hair and threaten if I told my parents he would finish me off. I never did tell my parents and often got heck for "losing my bike." I put up with this terror for 2 years. I would often walk with a group of my girlfriends which seemed to help, but every so often this big bully would find me walking to the store or to school. My brother was 5 years old at the time and my mother told me to take my brother with me and walk 2 blocks to the corner store for milk. I dreaded it, but, of course had to do as my mother said and she knew nothing about the bully. Sure enough, just out of sight of my parent's house out came the bully and pushed me to the sidewalk. I laid still on that sidewalk and was terrified. Suddenly a chubby little 5 year old flew through the air and bit this bully right on the leg like a rabid dog! LOL I was stunned and then this bully made the biggest mistake of his life ... he kicked my brother over on the grass and he hurt himself. I don't know what came over me, but I was going to get this bully or die trying. I hardly remember what I was doing, but the long and short of it is, I gave him a black eye, split his lip and was screaming curse words a sailor would have blushed at (all those pent up emotions coming through) and it took the lady from the store to get me off of this bully. Every day after I saw that bully I would shake my fist at him and he steered clear of me. Odd, but it took him picking on someone I loved to get me to act on it. Ever since that day I have not been afraid of anyone, but, I am smart and know when to stay clear of troublesome people or places and don't take any risks I don't have too.

Depends on the reason, but generally kids get bullied because the kid may have done something wrong to the kid that was met before. There may be a problem with the bully or the targeted kid either way.

ANSWER:

Bullying is sadly a global problem. In many cases those who bully others have problems thst stem from poor parental, outright neglect or have taught their children to uderage and violence to handle roblems. Children may just see this behvior as acceptable. Many young ones who are in pain just want to lash out and dish it out. They get what they want, power, status and attention. Each time a bully picks on someone his power is enforced. So intervention is crucial if someone is bullying or has been bullied. Parents, school teachers and administrators as well as the police have to be contacted. Awake magazine article on bullying

Teenagers are very easily led to believe things so cyberbullying can be very stressful for them.

They are beginning to turn into adults and find arguing a way of expressing themselves over another. This is common on social websites and can be upsetting when one person picks on another without really thinking about what they are trying to achieve. Teenagers take comments to heart and they don't necessarily know what to do so they fret about it and let it blow up out of proportion sometimes.

Most of the time any threats of violence are said without real malice, but the one on the receiving end will not know that, so might become scared to go out or go to School. They may be worrying all the time and making themselves sick. They feel they cannot tell anyone or that they will be told back to sort themselves out and get on with it.

Bullying on the internet, texting or in person is wrong and not nice at all, it should not happen, so if you have been told of or know someone it is happening to please believe them and offer your help in getting it stopped. Always report any bullying to the Head Teacher at School and let your parents know too.

It is a stressful thing going on in live that often is the result of sucide or sucidal thoughts. So everyone should only post on the internet what they wouldn't mind wearing on their shirt.
