someone on my fb just poted a link to a petition calling for the ban of this website www.littlegossip.com/gossip/united-kingdom/crispin-school/sort/recent/page/2 i had a bit of a look as i hadnt even heard of it before and essentially its a website where you enter your school, then its a bit like twitter, except its vile annonymous comments about different pupils in that school, you are meant to be 18 or over and be for colleges and uni's but loads of local secondary schools have appeared and the comments are utterly vile.
i was bullied in school, but i could go home, shut myself in my room and emerse self in s club7 and dawsons creek, there is nowhere for kids to hide now, it follows them everywhere,it scares me how it will be when my girls are teens, i dont know if i would have coped back then if my bullies had the tools they do now.

I don't even want to click on the link. Angry bullying is vile, it makes me so angry and something needs to be done to tackle 'cyber' bullying.

Disgusting isnt it I have 2 daughters 1 a young adult so for her it was bebo and MSN the bullying went on and with dd2 its this site which she isnt allowed on and facebook which she has , I think its awful when the bulllying follows kids about , at least when i was a kid YOu got respite or a little when you got home , I always keep an eye on what my 2 are on so do most parents , but these bullys do it in secret on laptops or on their mobiles , its shocking isnt it

CaptainMartinCrieff · 30/11/2011 19:15

In fact maybe Mumsnet can start a campaign to tackle bullying/cyberbullying?

bubbub · 01/12/2011 16:24

i dont know if it would matter though if this petition would make any difference, say they win, the site shuts down, another will follow in its place instantly wouldnt it?
for one school they have gotten the police involved as some comments included threats to kill, stalk and rape!- all empty threats from idiotic kids, i would imagine but my god can imagine reading it and it being about you?!
awful stuff!

Sadly, I wouldn't be at all sure that they were empty threats. Police should definitely be involved.

NoobyNoob · 01/12/2011 16:27

What the actual fuck.

I'm disgusted, I've signed the petition.

WhereMyMilk · 01/12/2011 16:29

It's so scary that I don't want my DC to grow older.
Bullying when I was young (old gimmer) was at least stopped once you got home but now...no respite :(

LittleWhiteWolf · 01/12/2011 16:29

I didn't think that site still existed Sad
