Twitter Bullying Must End

Updated on April 28, 2013

Final Update in Text

I could probably write a book about this subject. Who knows, maybe I will. I've decided to keep this public so people realize the dangers of putting your private information on the internet. Don't do it or you could become of victim of stalkers/bullies.


Twitter Bullying Must End

Twitter bullying has really gotten out of hand. It's useless to try to reason with people who live for drama and get their kicks from tormenting people, they don't EVEN know in real life. I recommend that you don't engage them. It only fuels their hate and keeps it going.

My advice is to block the stalkers and bullies. You can also lock your twitter page. I have my locked and people create new accounts to follow and RT my page, just to cause drama.

I have included links on this blog, that show examples of Twitter Bullying, as well as what people are doing to stop it. Celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and Ellen Degeneres are all taking stands against Bullying. Google website is protecting it's members and I've heard Facebook is taking action against Bullies when it is reported. Sad thing is most bully attacks are not reported so nothing gets done. The victim suffers in silence which has led to suicides.

When will Twitter change their policy to protect it's users, instead of hiding behind their Terms of Services? When will these cowards, hiding behind their screen names, be forced to stop bullying people?

Word of advice, if you happen to find out the identity of your bully/stalker do NOT let them know you know their name. Just keep detailed logs of all the stalking and sooner or later you'll have enough evidence to bring it to local law enforcement. My friend did that. The stalker was sent a letter and a warning phone call was made. Laws need to changed to protect people from internet predators.

When my friend reached the point where she could take no more, she tweeted one of her haters, apologizing and begging to be left alone. After being mocked for it, she deleted her twitter account. (She reinstated her twitter page when I told her that if she didn't reinstate it, those haters would take over her account and say things to damage her character, more than they have already.) While she was gone a poser account was created which started tweeting people she knew, claiming to be her.

Bullies attack people and if their victims defend themselves, they are accused of being the bullies. That's called Reverse Harassment. I've found in most cases, that the very things that the bullies accuse the victim of doing, they have done themselves and even far worse things. They will twist the truth to serve their needs, and out right lie.

The key thing to watch is how they get into groups and include their victims twitter name in their tweets to their bully friends. Sometimes they just keep tweeting victims They know they are blocked.They want to put on a show for their fellow bullies and to make the victims lose friends. They will also attack their victims followers if they don't jump on the Bully band wagon or at least unfollow the victims. I have had sick people try to do this to me. When I wouldn't join their side, they attacked one of my Canadian friends, who knew nothing about them, calling him an an abuser. He was tweeting for help to protect his children who were in a dangerous situation. He was targeted because he was my friend. They didn't know about him, until they stalked my timeline and saw me retweet his posts. (I never tweeted his posts to them.)

If you have been a victim of twitter bullying, please share your experiences and how you stopped it. Maybe by working together we can put an end to cyber bullying. .I'm sorry I had to close the comments. The haters turned this blog into a 3 ring circus.

You are welcome to tweet me at http://twitter.com/angelfrmcanada with your suggestions on how cyber bullying can be stopped. If you go to my twitpic account http:/twitpic.com/photos/angelfrmcanada you will see many examples of harassment by haters/stalkers.
