First personal experience of cyberbullying happened in my secondary school

I am sharing my personal experience and I was bullied online in middle school. In addition, when I was about 14 or 15 years old, I was bullied by friends and called Alvin. So when he knew that one day I was reading this, he often wrote horrible things about me online, and then he even wrote even worse things, and he said I want you to fall from the earth to die and post on Facebook then, he wanted me to lose face in front of my classmates until now, and I will still remember it forever, but everyone can read what he said to me on Facebook. Next, I know that everyone thinks the same about me. Therefore, I couldn’t get rid of the trouble of being online, I had to calculate the actual distance from school to him literally.

I know that one day I eventually left my friendship group. When I first came home, I would tell my parents that I was bullied by a friend, and my parents told me to stay away from the Internet to block his contact to avoid the same thing.

Second personal experience of cyberbullying on facebook

According to this picture, I have experienced being bullied by others. When I first saw my first blog being commented as bad on Facebook, I was very scared and uncomfortable, and I was afraid that others would be constantly attacked and insulted me.
