Quote From: noellskieOMG are you kidding me! Regardless of whatever this guy has or has not done, what these women are doing is no different that what youth are doing online - only we call it CYBER BULLYING! This is the excatly one of the points I make in my thesis which is on the topic of cyber bullying. If a youth says something negative, hurtful or hateful against a peer it is labled as bullying, but yet were does this behaviour become acceptable ? Is it just because they are adults that they seem to think it is ok? I know Dr. Phil will set them straight on this. If we want our young people to treat others with respect online than we as adults need to set that example and not engage in and model the same behaviour we are telling them is not ok!
Dr. Phil I know you have my back on this don't you!
Let me just say "Great posting". Is it any wonder our children are the way they are? I watched this show and thought "Wow. . . some people just never get out of that high school stage." I was not in the "popular group" and spent 4 years in high-school not feeling good about myself. I played sports and I found things that I was great at, and put on a happy face, and found some true friends . . . but the emotional abuse gets to you. It's taken me a long time to realize I let that affect me. People can say anything they want to and they do . . . be it true or be it false. God knows we're not all perfect, and do we all want our mistakes posted where everyone can see them? Words are harmful. . . not just sticks. Sometimes words are more harmful because of the way they spread. Emotional abuse is not just something that goes on in a relationship. . . it's something people do to each other all the time. I used to think life wold be much easier if everyone was just nice to everyone, but I realize that's unrealistic. So I choose to live my life and be happy. I do my best at everything I do and I know that life is bigger than what others say about me. They have to answer for their lies and revenge later . . . and life is just too short to let people drag you down.
As far as the website. . . I understand people have a right to the freedom of speech, but I agree with Dr. Phil. Plus. . . do you really feel better when you get revenge? That "high" you get only last a short time. If you're not happy with who you are and the only way you can feel good is to bash someone else, you need all of our prayers.
