i don’t think people realize how much of a problem bullying/cyber bullying and harassment really is.
for the past 5 1/2 to 6 months, i along with many of the friends i made on wattpad have been tormented by a 14 year old named kaylin who i wholeheartedly believe has some form of mental illness.
it has taken a tremendous toll on my mental health. at times even making me question whether living was an option. to be perfectly honest, it’s still something that weighs heavily on my mind today.
had it not been for the people that have shown me endless support, who knows where i would’ve been today. it’s truly a horrific thing to constantly wonder.
earlier today, she was able to find my first and middle name which may not seem like a big deal to most but coming from the recipient of many death threats and threatening messages in general, i was terrified.
it took many crying sessions and tons of reassurance for me to calm down and realize that should anything happen (which is unlikely), i will be prepared.
as i write this, i still struggle with if there’s anything i could’ve done to prevent these incidents from happening but have ultimately realized that it could’ve and has been happening to many other people on the platform as well.
however, i’m also choosing to address my noticeable absence from tumblr and all of its fun activities. as mentioned before, the constant bullying and harassment has been going on since january (about 5-6 months now) and has caused me to completely shut down with no interest in the things i once enjoyed, i’ve tried to get back into it but i just can’t.
i’m not ready to give up but i think that i will be going on an extended hiatus, at least until this situation gets cleared up once and for all.
while some may be confused on why i’m choosing to post this at all considering i don’t have any “content”, i didn’t want to just leave you guys in the dark and truly truly truly hope that you can understand.
if any of you guys know of any other ways to help me deal with her, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
thank you and have a good day/night, ilysm <33
