I told my dad when I was being bullied online, it was because of my braces.  People were commenting "metal mouth" and "train-track face" on my photos of me smiling. I don't think my dad really knew what to say because he told me to "take it like a man." I don't show my teeth when I smile in photos anymore.

My first experience with Cyberbullying was when my boyfriend broke up with me and started dating another girl a week later. That's when the bullying started. Fake accounts commented on my photos on Facebook and Instagram, calling me "ugly" and that I'm "too fat to have a boyfriend." They even made a fake Tinder account pretending to be me, it made the breakup so much worse for me. It is my worst experience in high school.
