I was a victim of cyber bullying myself: 12 years ago. At that time a class mate simply registered a domain and put a guest book up there. Many of my other class mates used the guest book to backbite me. The hottest topics were my sexual orientation (I was 14 years old back then, so no fun), my stupidness, and so on. It was very bad. The guest book can still be seen in the web archive(.org) and every time I do so I start crying. It was a horrible time.
Granted: Cyber bullying was only one part of the bullying against me. I saw those haters every day in school. In school I was physically beaten. At home I was beaten psychological by this guest book. Even people I did not know or interacted with back then suddenly began writing bad things about me in this guest book.
When I got better in programming I wrote a small script that checks the availability of that said domain. A few months ago that script told me that the domain is now available. I immediately registered the domain. It is now in my possession.
- e40 13y agoWow, the bully held onto it for 12 years? That's amazing. Have you thought of putting up the tale, on that domain, of what happened to you?
- LinaLauneBaer 13y agoYes the guy held onto it for 12 years. Putting the story up there would be a bold move... I am still traumatized by it.
- e40 13y agoI am still traumatized by it. I can image you are. Telling the story might enable you to own the trauma in a way you haven't until now. I can't, however, say that would be best for you to do. Only you know that. I hope you find the healing you deserve for this.
