Cyber bullying 

 Dear Sam,

Today I went the tennis court and my friend and I got into an argument. I went home and went on msn and then she signed in I said 'why did you swear at me?' Then she said she was going to the loo. Her friend (who was 14) went on her account and started saying things like 'get a life' and 'your a bully' and 'you got a problem'. I went downstairs crying and my mum asked what was wrong. Told her and she said delete her now! I blocked her and deleted her. But shes gonna be really mad at me for deleting me

Hi There,

Thanks for getting in touch with us.  It sounds like you are having a difficult time at the moment with your friend.  You did the right thing to tell your Mum what was happening and it was good that she advised you to delete and block this person too. 

It sounds as though you are a bit scared of your friend's reaction to this. 

All friendships go through rocky patches, and most people will have arguments and fall out with each other from time to time, but no one has the right to make you feel scared or upset. 

I wonder what would happen if your friend knew how you felt about this situation?  Do you think she would feel bad if she knew she made you cry?

There is lots more advice about friendship and bullying on our website - you could also post this on the message board and see if you get any good advice from other young people. You can always talk to one of our counsellors on 1-2-1 chat or by telephone on 0800 1111.


I hope this helps. 

Take Care Sam
