You know what's better than being a victim of cyber-bullying?
A good old, MCGamer-style ban.

I honestly hate cyberbullying, but here's the thing people need to realize: on the Internet, you can't expect people to have the same standards as you. Online, nobody's forcing you to be a good person, to put on a show, to be polite. That's why many kids go to the web just to get away from their troubles and be as honest as they want to be.

People think they can control the Internet. My school district thinks that. They assume that if they block social media (including this site), I will never be cyberbullied. That doesn't work. If I'm not allowed to share my own opinions online, then who can I be honest to? My family? Even they'd get mad if I gave away honest answers.

Every day we act. We stay polite. We try to agree. We don't confront people who are being mean or doing something harmful. And why? We worry about our reputation. Online, it's a different story. I can tell a person confidently that they are on the wrong section. I don't have to worry about having a bad friend, since I can leave them at any time and never see them again. I feel better when nobody knows what has been haunting me, what has been used against me, what has been put in front of me. Besides, it doesn't matter.

And I can be whoever I want to be. I have given a 50-mile circle for where I generally am, but I could have made that up entirely. Nobody would ever know. (If anyone knows, please do not say it, because I would rather not discuss it,)

That's just my opinion, anyway. I'm glad I have the freedom to share this with all of you. I hope I didn't offend anyone, because that wasn't my goal. I feel bad for victims of cyberbullying, but let's face it: we can't stop people from arguing their points, which may make people feel bad.

More abuse than you'll ever see.
