Hello!
Most of you know me as Graham, the Dutch Angel Dragon. If you know Graham, then you pretty much know me. Graham strives to make people happy. He exists to bring smiles to peoples' faces. He is here to remind you to not take life too seriously, to stop and enjoy the little things in life. As Graham, I would like to bring up a serious issue. Cyber-bullying and Cyber-Harrasment. Bullying in general is never okay, but is also easier to handle than cyber-bullying/harrasment. You see, cyber-bulling is any form of bullying from minors behind a screen. “Examples of cyber-bullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.” (according to stopbullying.gov). Cyber-Harassment is the same, but is a term used for cases involving adults. Name-calling, put-downs, threats, harassing,stalking, and much more can really hurt the victim. If you are ever not comfortable with what somebody is saying about you on the internet, ask them to stop, if they don't, it is time to take action. Don't engage in the harassment, it is guaranteed to make it worse. Don't let it get out of hand.... Don't wait. Don't let it escalate. Record the evidence, report them, and tell somebody. When it reaches a certain point, it actually becomes a crime. I have gathered a list of websites that you should all read and share. I would like you all to know that there is always somebody willing to help. If you have nobody else, please contact me. I will help you, I WILL listen. You are not alone.

http://nobullying.com/what-is-cyber-harassment/
QUOTES FROM THE SITES:
“"Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyberstalking. Adult cyber-harassment or cyberstalking is NEVER called cyberbullying.”
(http://stopcyberbullying.org/what_i.....g_exactly.html)
“Cyberharassment. Cyberharassment differs from cyberstalking in that it may generally be defined as not involving a credible threat. Cyberharassment usually pertains to threatening or harassing email messages, instant messages, or to blog entries or websites dedicated solely to tormenting an individual. Some states approach cyberharrassment by including language addressing electronic communications in general harassment statutes, while others have created stand-alone cyberharassment statutes.”

You know...ive had a problem with being bullied, I stood up to my bully when I had my friends support me, I never really nee true friendship until I meet the furry fandom, I've been a furry since I was about 5 and I expressed that alot, I just did not know the name, once I figured it out and made some furry friends i was able to stand up to my bully, my fursona Pepper my DaD she is literally me, she's been through alot like me, her story is my story and that's why i live the fandom because its not just a thing for me, its how I express me, its how I control my feelings, its hard being a plus size girl, people use it against and make you hate yourself that's what happened with me...ive never been one about looks, I say its my low self esteem and that's been something I've had for several years now.
It's a serious issue. Some people think it's funny. It's just not. I'm very proud of you for getting your mom involved. Sometimes that's all it takes =)
When you don't reach out.. it can get so dangerous. people die over this issue. And this is exactly what I'm trying to prevent!

I had a group of friends once. They we're cool, until we turned 13. My main "friend" started calling me names, trying to get me to smoke, etc. On her 13th birthday, something disgusting happened, and I will not say it for it's a bit personal. I had been quite about it for years, trying to ignore her and her friends teases. Why did all this happen? Because I became a furry. But, earlier this year, me and my TRUE friends stood up, and finally got her expelled from school. Her friends don't even bother to look at me anymore. I still get bullied once every while at school, but I'm used to it. Same goes with media. If a person calls me fat, cool, I can live with that. It just pisses me off when people waste their time to bully a person over the internet.
It's never ok and for good reasons cyberbully could lead to suicide or the cyberbullies might get themselves killed I remember that a lover of mines killed herself because the cyberbully keeps bugging her so I got pissed off and gather by friends to jump him I was going to swim the board of education of the cyberbullies head but the principal stop me man the cyberbully shit his pants I'm a psychopathic son of a bitch back then the only way to stop the cyberbullies to stop is to put fear in their hearts
It's not really bullying but I have been dealing with a lot of stuff over the years failing grades, Lyme (witch causes me to be really tired, weak, make me worse at concentrating, causes my joints to hurt all day every day) , lots of other medical problems (I had to go on a diet of pretty much cardboard and dirt it tasted so bad) , depression , self harm, etc
