I was 17 years old when I first experienced cyber 

bullying. Like most young people, I use popular 

social media sites on the internet, like ask. fm, 

which is an online social network that enables 

people to send questions to each other and 

answer them, all under the cloak of anonymity.

I was using the site one day and when 

I posted a question someone was 

replied saying terrible things about me 

and slandering me.

A few months later the same thing 

happened on Facebook, but this time it 

was a close friend who was spreading 

malicious rumors about me.

Being cyber bullied really hurt my 

feelings and turned all my friends 

against me to the point where I had no-

one left. 

The victimization caused me to lose 

friends. I tried to reply with a cheeky 

remark but there is a line, and the 

bullies crossed it and it made me feel 

depressed and tearful.

The bullying was painful and hurtful to me, 

and I wanted other people to know how it 

affected me. 

I made new friends who had also experienced 

cyberbullying, and together we decided that 

we wanted online bullies to realize that they 

could seriously hurt someone, so we met a 

coordinator at the Charity Fixers and they 

said I could do whatever I liked as long it 

benefited at least one other person.

They helped us to make a film shot from the view 

of the ‘online troll’.

We wanted the film to show how hurtful actions 

can cause pain to both the victim and the bully, 

who may not be aware of how damaging their 

behavior can be. It shows how often the people 

doing this sort of behavior online might think that 

it’s just for fun, but our video shows how that can 

quickly progress. 

The film is called ‘Someone is Wrong on the 

Internet’

The film was such a positive experience 

and it didn't end there because ITV then 

decided to do a broadcast report on my 

‘Fix’ that was shown on the evening news. 

I just wanted the bullies to realize what 

they are doing because without the bullies 

there would be no victim. 

We also decided that it would be a really 

positive thing to screen our film to some 

local young people during Anti-Bullying 

Week last November, so that was great. 

The plan now is to keep showing the film 

in local schools and youth clubs in the 

hope that potential bullies will realize that 

what they may see as harmless fun can 

quickly escalate and cause huge distress.
