Video: Facebook bullying

When I was 13, I had a disagreement with one of my friends at school and I thought it was all sorted and then one of my other friends came up to me and said “She’s made a Facebook group about you”, for all the people who wish I was dead already.

The website was shared, it was sent out to people to join the group and, as far as I’m aware, many people did.

I was really upset. Words just can’t describe how upset I was. I thought that everything had been taken away from me and I just didn’t know what to do.

It made me feel I didn’t want to wake up in the morning. I didn’t want to go to school, to see anybody, and it made basically wanting to carry on living really difficult and at one point I did want to take my own life.

I contacted Childline on the internet because I don’t particularly like talking on the phone. I felt really nervous the first time I spoke to them because it was of the first people I’d spoken to about what had happened, but after that it got a lot easier. Quite simply, if I hadn’t spoken to Childline I doubt I would be here today speaking.
