Bully Victims!! past and present!!! do you think it would be a good idea to start an online support group?

Question

I was bullied a a teen, and just recently found out a young family member was beaten to a pulp and is at his local childrens hospital ..he's 12. i am thinking that an online group where victims can come together and support eachother could really do some good. anyone else agree?

Answer 1

Definitely, YEAH!! what a Great idea. that perfect, b/c so many teens are afriad and ashamed to talk about their problems in person, so a website would give them confidence and be free to seek help w/o worrying about people judging them.

Answer 2

Look it up in a search engine and you can see some places that are very much against bullying.  Here is a list of some I found,

Yes I think it is a good idea to have a support group because then they can see that they are not the only ones out there that are being bullied. I know I was bullied and I lived through it but there are many that do not, and because I was I'm a stronger and better person than I was when I'm younger. I'm 42 now and I see things different now things are a lot better and if these people that are being bullied know there are people out there that have been through the same thing than maybe they just might feel better. Hope things work out and if you need anything just ask me.

Answer 4

I couldn't agree you more about supporting group in the reality life or on line for those bullied victims.  Never in my youth life had been bullied, untill I turned into 24 just started to the jetstream of career life that I confronted few bitchy girls with wicked word verbaly.  My situation is different from those being bullied by juvinial deliquents.  It is good to share your experience with the similar background of people.  But you also got to listen to the other tougher friends' advices, too.  In this world, sometimes you got to stand up to fight for your right by your wisdoms and wits rather keeping yield to those jerks. Fight or fllight.  It is kind sad to see bullied stories which exists every where.  Eventhough I got none experience in this field, I got to learn more from you and others to teach my kids how to handle such kind situation in the near future as well.

Answer 5

Unlike other problems, bullying in middle school and high school is a touchy subject. If there was a support group online that was made public knowledge, bullies would come to the site with fake stories just to join in and torment other kids. Children are terrible, and they won't quit or respect privacy. I think an online support group for that particular topic would be a big mistake.

Answer 6

I think it is a great idea.  They always think they are the only ones.  I think it could actually save lives.

Answer 7

online?

ppffsshhh

have real meetings and stuff

it's alot better and you can relate to victims better

plus bullies cant get in and use fake stories unless they're a master of duistguise

Answer 8

i think it is a great idea cause alot of school just sweep it under the carpet and wont deal with it at least if there is a surport network out there with a quifide person to talk to then that would give the victims of bullies somewhere to turn to and get ideas on how to deal with it so i say lets get started the sooner the better

Answer 9

I think a support group on any subject is always a great idea. I think being the victim of bullying can be very isolating, lonely, and can impact self esteem, even lead to depression, poor grades and poor overall functioning.  To be able to relate to others who have been there can be very empowering.  Mostly people in positions of authority, bosses, teachers ect do a poor job at handling these situations.  I do agree that the bullies may take that opportunity to further bully on the site.  Dont know how to get around that one.

Answer 10

yes its a great idea. for some kids just knowing they have a friend will stop them from killing themselves or going crazy. i knew this one girl who if she just had one friend she would still be alive today
