I'm going to say that cyberbullying leads to Bullying IN real life. Cyberbullying leads up to real life things catching up to you.

Yes you can close the computer and yes you can delete the text message and yes you can ignore the video. But then you come to school and they all heckle you on the way to class and whisper about you and get in your face because of a video someone took of you and posted without your knowledge and they all believe what is on that video.

Yes you can delete that text message Natalie sent throughout the school saying that you are gay. But then you get to school and get beaten up in the locker room by the guys or girls because they think you deserve it.

Yes you can ignore that first call that they make to your cell phone with intentions to just keep calling you a whore because they believe you stole their boyfriend. But then they call the house phone constantly so you have to now unplug the house phone. To find out they waiting outside to teach you a lesson that you don't need to be taught because of some stupid rumor they made up about you stealing a boyfriend.

Yes you can just not go online at all to avoid the rumors being spread about how you slept with the boss to get the raise. But then you find out you were wrongly fired by your job due to such rumors.

You can easily go about your life ignoring the fact that a fake picture of you molesting someone is being circulated on all the news sites. But then you are recognised on the street and confronted by angry people about the supposed molestation you committed, your kicked out of restaurants and are mobbed by new reporters, you can't even eat at home because someone is peaking through your window taking a picture of you to make another story out of you.

what I'm getting at is that Cyberbullying, though I used very aggressive situations, can in fact lead to very harrowing physical situations. You may be able to not give a buck about anything people say about you and are strong minded and everything. You can't keep it up like that if people take it to the next level and bring it about face right up to you.

I also relate gossiping to cyberbullying. Before there was cyberbullying there was gossip. Yes we do it in everyday life. I admit to doing it without thinking. So I am just a guilty as the rest. But both are the same. Both affect people whether good or bad and can lead to very real good or bad consequences.

Thank you for your replies. I see some of the debate so far and I'm glad it's going smoothly. I also see where both parties come from.

EideticMemory : I'm on board one hundred percent with you on this. You brought some interesting things about this debate that I didn't even think of like the financial aspect of the process. That didn't cross my mind when the subject was brought up in the chat room. It is such a big change really. I saw a short movie on youtube about a boy that actually trans gendered fully in order for a boy he grew up with to love him back the same way he loved him. This was based on a true story of sorts. Included actual audio of the radio station that set up their reuniting on the radio to see the guys answer to the now trans gendered boys confession of love to him. It really is an important decision to make when they decide to go through with it for the rest of their lives. A real... eye opening decision.

legacyme3 : I'm also on board one hundred percent with you as well. You explained it much better on this point of view than I got from the chat room. I respect peoples opinions on this subject. You have brought up something that some people wish to change but really can't change. Only the person with the opinion can change their own opinion on something like this. Not being able to bring yourself to call a transgendering male a she is quite a situation but your explanation on why is what brings me on board to your ship. If you have a strong belief that a she is a she and a he is a he and then someone comes along and says he is a she.. That is baffling and much an inner struggle to see it that way. It sounds like you go about it in a respectful way and that is all I look for when it comes to opinions. Respectful opinions being put out on the floor in comparison to a rude opinion with no backing explanation is really what starts to turn the world.

So I just had a discussion that kind of bothered me in the Chat room.

Thing1 mentioned that he respects the LGBTQ community EXCEPT for the Transgendering or transsexuals or Trany or of that sort. He would not call a Transgendering person (in specific guy to girl)  a SHE until said person does not have any testicles anymore.

But I disagreed saying that it might offend such person. What if it makes them more comfortable about themselves and going through the process of going from man to woman to be called a FEMALE OR SHE before it is complete. It could offend them completely and or make them feel self conscious not being considered  a woman already especially if he is dressing up as a woman already.

Thing1 doesn't care. This is not an attack I just want to show where I'm coming from because it was not being understood in the Chat room.

Yes because some guys that dress as a woman also like Drag Queens or tranys prefer extremely to be called a woman when in drag. It is just polite to call them that (unless they don't care). It's probably as bothersome as constantly telling a gay guy that he has to marry a woman because he is a male and not a female.

thing1 : Just want you to see what I'm talking about. I respect your opinion but I can't say fully what I wanted to say when in chat.

Thank you guys. I am doing fine. My dad is doing fine. He is taking medicine for his Vertigo. It's good to know that Vertigo is not hereditary but more of a situational thing. *hugs* back to everyone. I shall hang tight for the future

I may have missed the days of leggy (or caught the butt end of it all). I think you have made a splendid life choice... cause even though we love this forum.. life goes on right? have to make everyday count. The day people grow up.. is never a day ... it's a lifetime really. To grow older. To shape what we want in life.. to flesh out the sculpture we want to leave behind...... Dreams need to come true. or they at least had to have been thought up.. to think up a dream is what counts.. Things change and feelings move on. To see this thread and to know what kind of reputation you had on this forum is just utmost amazing to see this change in you. I saw the change already though a while ago.. the moment you calmed down and started really being Legacyme3. It's funny right to look back on your old posts and think about your old chat room personification and think about ... I don't know how you feel about your old self... but think about how...fun or stupid or unthinking life was. I hope your life is going the way you want it now. Real life is what pushes change. This is just part of it. The rest happens inside.
Love,

Thank you for understandiNg. we are heading home now. MY dad was diagnosed with VERTIGO of unknown causes. Thinking back to my high school days I had a couple instances of the same symptoms my dad had. I thought it was a stroke back then but never told my parents about it. Now I know i could have been suffering from vertigo as well back then. Maybe it's hereditary? I don't know or my mental meds back then as well could have caused the vertigo. Well anyways yep my dad is alright. But he is getting older so... best start preparing myself mentaly. Again I apologize for blurring this out in chat then leaving. Meant to say goodbye and leave and never mention it. Sorry I mentioned it.

Sorry to those in chat room when I left. f*** hell I didn't mean to chat that my dad had a stroke I meant to just say goodbye and leave. I panicked and typed our what was on my mind and left. That was stupid so I apologize.
To clear things up I'm with family now taking him to the emergency room. Not sure if it's stroke but he sure has major dizzyNess and couldn't walk for a bit. I wasn't gonna bring this up here but since I stupidly chatted it I'm forced to bring it up because it really happeNed and I wasn't pulling an evil practical joke. Almost to the hospital now. Will update soon.
Ps don't worry I'm feeling ok for now. Never felt more focused than ever. Just thinking about my phone battery which I'm typing this out.
thank you for understandING and again I should not have chatted that phrase in chat.

I think the Sensor should be "SUX2BU"

I don't even know if I'm your employee anymore.... I had to PAY you today  

Hooray for the kites. To bad I'm the only one so far. And it was only by accident ha ha. At least my season is really up there.

Thebiguglyalien : I have excepted the fact that we are mortal. I just find death an emotional part of life that is quite painful to think about.

EideticMemory : I'm happy to see that you think this way. It is an inevitability that not everyone excepts till the very last moment of their life time. I have come to see this inevitability as a sad one but a sad thought that I except will happen to everyone.

thecrzyguy : I think my worst fear would be to find out that I will be punished in the next life for finally finding happiness in a "forbidden fruit". I respect all religions but if any one of our religions happens to speak the truth.... I hope it is one where my lifestyle now is not punished in the next life. (I have no ill feelings towards people of faith).

Brain-Splattered : I have actually had the same scenario play over and over in my mind sometimes when I suddenly day dream. It is one where if I get to that point of death I would not want to be saved. I would be sad and afraid in the moment but I would like to be put at peace no matter how old I am at the time of my death. I want to let go of this life and travel forward towards one with no worries. I would think of the people I'm leaving behind and of my bf who says he would not be able to move on... but the days get longer, gravity heavier, and life shorter... I would be sad that many things did not happen in my life. But I would not want to live longer where I have felt others deserve the spot. Then again it is just a day dream... I do fight in this lifetime day and night. I thought about what I would do in my reincarnated life. I also thought about the endless torment of being a ghost stuck in a dimension where no one can egnoledge you and you are twisted around a lifetime that should have past but you can't leave.

Anyways keep thinking in your unique ways. It is amazing to see all the ideas in the world. You never stop learning. You never stop thinking. You never stop creating.
Keep it coming people. I think this will be a pretty good thought process thread.

I have had a very unconscious fear of death for a very long time. I cry at the thought that everyone I have ever met in my life time will eventually meet death. I wish we could all live forever.... Or do we?
For in many religions we do after death LIVE eternally with or apart of or become one with a higher power. And yet others believe in reincarnation or becoming one with the energies of the earth. Science has suggested the answer is at the end of the tunnel of light many people have seen going into death then coming out of it. Others believe a spiritual being comes and takes you... but to where?
Do they come back as "Ghosts" or are you being impersonated by another being???
The answers are endless so lets see your beliefs out in the open.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH????????

I apologize if this offends anyone. I must say that the person (I say person because every day I am connected to this person is changing me. I can't name 1 event) that struck me to the core and has changed me and continues to change me in every way is Jashi.... The person in my heart.... Their really are no words to describe him... When I explain who he is.... It will never cover everything. He... Has kept me out of doubt, kept me from death, kept me from becoming the hermit, kept me from going homeless, keeps me dreaming, keeps me breathing, keeps me thinking, he has me in his grasp of life, he is my life, he is my universe, he thickens my skin, he makes me titanium, he hardens my views, he softens my empathy at the same time, we struggle together, we think together, yet independent at heart, he worries me and I worry him, yet we are comforted by each others strengths, from the moment we made contact he persistently insisted I was the one when I brushed him from my heart, I fell in love and I wont know what will happen when we physically can't make contact anymore until that moment comes, in cry if the thought even crosses my mind, he is me.... That's why I am who I am today and longer than forever be the way I will be.

Wish you the best of luck. You've got the support. I have no doubt you got the courage. And if things don't go well... heck you'll be fine.

"Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
This American group released this indie folk song in January 2010. It was the most popular song on the UK Indie charts at #5 compared to other places around the world. Very popular with car commercial ads.
