Ashley is sick today. I spent the morning at the doctors with her, she has a bad sinus infection. Her OCD of hand washing is back so the doctor also gave her some lactic acid for that. It's difficult to get her not to wash her hands constantly during the day. I usually just use the medicine at night because of this, even though it is supposed to be twice a day, or I put it on her before she leaves for school so it sets for about an hour. The school was crazy today. I called first thing in the morning telling them she was home sick. Then they called saying she had an unexcused absence. Um, no, I called. I have a doctors note at least to send with her. That is if the teachers turn it in where it is supposed to go. The last time I requested something from them it took over a week. This is supposed to be a world wide magnet school. Alright I am done complaining about that.
Then a negative person crossed my path today. I thought they were a positive person here on Livejournal as they seemed to be friendly and outgoing. Oh boy was I wrong. About two days ago I saw this person in an add me community. I thought they seemed nice and I added them. Only two days later despite them saying they were going to add me back, they never did. I never got any notification of this person adding me back. Every time I hovered over their name it showed I added them but they never added me. I figured they had changed there mind and just didn't want to add me. It happens, because not everyone thinks that they can get along with everyone else.
I went ahead and took them off, only to come back from the doctors with Ashley to have them cursing me out left and right about how dare I unfriend them. They still had never friended me. They used tons of curse words and turned out to be quite a rude person. All over what appears to be a misunderstanding. They never friended me in the first place, I don't why they felt the need to curse me out like this. It just makes me sad when people don't treat other people kindly. If you notice, I didn't name the person, because then I would be adding to the problem. Despite this, I was still going to write them an apology for unfriending them as the misunderstanding made them upset despite them never friending me in the first place. I don't know why I was going to do that. Possibly because it is the kinder thing to do by admitting the blame for the misunderstanding. After all they never friended me in the first place. They blocked me from apologizing. lol
Livejournal politics, I am sick of them. I don't know why people in general have to bully other people on the internet. I've been bullied here before, I am sure a lot of people here have at one time or another. It sucks. Cyber bullies like to spread lies and rumors. They like to hurt other by sending threatening messages. The cyber bully is an unhappy, frustrated person who wants to have control over your feelings, the best thing to do is not let them do that. I am a highly emotional person. If I think that I upset someone I go over in my mind a thousand times of what did I do wrong? Even when I know that I did nothing wrong. Honestly, a person that feels the need to harass people and belittle others is a coward for not trying to talk things out in the first place and find out what went wrong. The Cyber bullies that harass people for the sake of making them self feel superior are the worst. Especially those who harass people over things that cannot be changed, such as race, sexual preference, or gender. Because of that I thought I would write something about cyber bulling. It's funny what inspires me. :)
The best things to do in these circumstances.
1: Remember the person is full of talk. This talk is coming from an immature adult that never learned to express itself properly.
2: Ignore them. Most likely they just want to intimidate you. Perhaps it makes them feel like a bigger person by doing this. If you ignore them you are not adding fuel to their flame.
3: Cyber bullies thrive on your reactions and their main hope is to get a rise out of you. That's what they feed on by picking on you. They love nothing more than to start drama with people because that is their only source of entertainment.
4: If they don't leave you alone after you have ignored them consider psyching them out to make them leave you alone. Maybe if they think you are crazier then they are. At least according to wiki, lol
5: If necessary, leave the website that they started harassing you on for awhile. If you aren't there, then they can't come at you.
6: Keep records. Make a special folder kept for the cyber bully's threats or unwanted pictures, or what ever it might be that they are using to harass you. This way you have proof if you need to show the authorities.
7: Take time off the computer. Even if it makes you feel like they are running you off, you need tome to breath away from the bully and time to regroup yourself. Or chill out and watch some movies.
8: If you can 'ignore' 'block' or 'ban' the person. This wont stop them from making a new account to bother you with, but it can slow them down if you 'ignore' 'block' or 'ban' every account that they come at you with.
9: Tell someone. If it gets to the point where this person is threatening you in real life, then you need to tell someone. I've seen it happen before, and it is scary to watch someone having to go through it. Don't be afraid to tell the authorities when someone is threatening you bodily harm.
!0: Just keep being you. You are wonderful as you are. Don't let anyone bully you into think otherwise.
