Does killing yourself slove the answer from Bullying or Cyber Bullying?

  • No, killing yourself does not resolve the answer regarding bullying or cyber bullying. What does resolve the problem is the victim telling a school counselor; Pastor or parents. Victims of bullying should learn off the web that some schools in the United States and Canada have students that have set up programs to protect the victims from bullying; teachers; parents and the police are becoming much more proactive to stop bullying. Laws are being forced to change and bullies will soon be facing charges (even though minors) for their bullying tactics. Police in many cities are setting up task forces to catch cyber bullies and because of the high rate of suicides by especially teen victims of bullying laws are going to be tougher and bullies are going to get what they deserve. Example: New Jersey has a 'no tolerance level for bullying' and the laws are harsh and other cities are picking up the pace because of this. It is important for YOU to remember this ... although you may feel alone; depressed and feel there is no end to what you are going through there is an end. Talk to someone! Realize the amount of students in your entire school and that there are only a handful of bullies. Study different students in your school (you certainly aren't the only one being bullied) and make friends with those that are being bullied. All the students in your school are not bullies so try to fit in where you can with them. Also an important factor is if you do the things above to lessen your pain and loneliness you will get through school; get a job and the bullying you experienced will be but a mild memory and you will become a well adjusted young adult with a good future. Killing yourself will only leave pain for your family and friends and the bully will only win. You are better than that and you are loved so stand strong and get that help.

Why is it illegal for people to kill themselves?

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.

How long has the rain stick been around?

So, first of all, you wouldn't believe how much time was spent researching how rainsticks actually work. There is actually very little information on HOW they work, altough there is plenty on how to make your own. Ultimately, good ol' Wikipedia was there for me and here is their explanation on the matter: " A rainstickis a long, hollow tube which is filled with small baubles such as beads or beans and has small pins arranged helically on its inside surface. When the stick is upended, the beads fall to the other end of the tube, making a sound reminiscent of a rainstorm as they bounce off the pins. The rainstick is generally used to create atmospheric sound effects or as a percussion instrument. They have become very popular in the last 30 years. The rainstick is generally considered to have been invented in South America's Chile, and was played in the belief that it could bring about rainstorms. " For details, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainstick p.s. The main reason I posted this was because some IDIOT on the internet took it upon himself/herself to post an answer of "poop" originally under this question of "how do rainsticks work?" This is absolutely adolescent and absurd to me. For an inquiries, send to Stephaniefcrosby@gmail.com

Why do people think it funny if you make fun of someone?

  • When you or anyone else bullies or pokes fun at another person and some people think it's funny it is either because they have a warped sense of humor; they are extremely immature or they simply want to be one of the crowd. There is no humor in poking fun at another person and it's cruel and vicious and shows how ignorant the person doing it truly is. People may laugh along with you, but many of those people will talk behind your back and consider you cruel and unworthy of being of any importance because they know if you poke fun to hurt another persons feelings you will probably do it to one of the other people that think you are being funny. You'll end up the loser!

How many people kill themselves due to cyberbullying?

I think it's fair to say that this number is unobtainable. The reason there's no good answer rests on a few fundaments: First, this problem is often unreported and, even if it is reported, it's hard to say there's only ONE cause. Say someone is cyber-bullyed. Most often that bullying extends beyond cyber and into their life -- and which aspect is more or less responsible?

However, I think it's fair to say that this is an emergent trend that has some dire aspects. Bear in mind that not just the suicides are damaged by this behavior, but so are those that don't take hat final step, but yet take damage.

The real questions for me are: (1) Why does this happen? From a purely

scientific, biological stance, species that attack themselves too often are in serious trouble. And secondly (2), how would one stop it? We can try to limit technology, the First Amendment, and conversational content, and all we've concretely done is censor ourselves, but have we reduced the problem?

Returning to your question, at this time, there is no way to calculate the number you ask for.

Give details of what is being said to you and the name of the user doing it. If there is not a report abuse button on the site then find the contact email address and report it there.

How do you reply to a nasty email letter?

Nasty letters deserve no response.

Don't even bother getting angry in return, the person obviously has problems, none of which you need concern yourself over. Delete, be free and move on.

Whoever sent the email is probably trying to be 'cool' and show off for their mates, so if you reply to them, it will just make them want to do it more. whereas if you ignore them, they will get bored.
