Why such negativity ?

It's ****ty because it seems to me that when writing posts on here you have to throw out some disclaimers like "I'm not looking for attention" or "this thread isn't me fishing for compliments" I mean, the fact that we have to do that is just sad. Why can't we just say what we feel without ignorant, rude, and mean people replying to it. I'm almost twenty years old and when I have a crappy day I'll shoot my mom a phone call and vent to her....maybe that young lady doesn't have someone to confide in and were all she has...what a great support system MFP, claps to you.

I agree with you on what you have said, 100%.... yet people don't look further than the post. they just see the post and initially react to it. They don't think of the possibilities behind it, only that the standing post might look like some attention seeking ploy.

As it seems on many of the threads here, "they" don't care. It's enough to dump this entire application and do this motivation on my own. If this is the type of motivation that the people of MFP are giving, I'm not buying. I have less drama on Facebook.

If you're looking to complete strangers for motivation to change yourself...you're doing it wrong. Your motivation should come within you...not people behind a keyboard. Keep the app...log your calories...just stay off the forums if you can't handle personalities and opinions that differ from your own.

I know I said I wasn't going to say anything but it's my day off and I don't know how to put my soap box away. I just wanted to share a story.
When I was in high school, one of my best friends had posted on myspace (cuz myspace was cool back then) about how she had an awful day. The details of her day didn't seem TOO awful so people began to gang up on her, leaving comments calling her a "big baby" and a "drama queen" and saying things like"Grow up"and "No one cares!!!" I saw those comments and didn't say anything because I didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she wasn't physically being harmed and it's not like they were making fun of how she looked or anything. 8 years later I still can't forgive myself for it because that same day she killed herself. To this day I wonder if maybe I had said something, maybe if I had told people to leave her alone, maybe she'd be alive today. I'm sure those people thought that their comments weren't that bad or just "tough love" but the fact of the matter is, you don't know what someone is going through in their life. Not everyone has a strong support system to hear them out when they need to vent. That's why it really bothers me when I see people poking fun at people when they are upset, regardless of how the situation may seem silly to others. I don't think it's ok to demean people who are already in a low place, especially when they have already stated that they have emotional issues. It's one thing to say "You shouldn't let idiots get you down. Hold your head up and move on." it's ANOTHER thing to say "You're an attention *kitten*. Go away." I realize that this is the internet and a lot of people wouldn't even care if their comments pushed a stranger over the edge. HOWEVER, I hope this at least makes ONE person think. Is your funny sarcastic comment really worth someone's life?

Also, didn't we just do, "Why is everyone so mean here yesterday?" Shouldn't today be, "If I lift will I get bulky?"

Where did I put my schedule?

Also, didn't we just do, "Why is everyone so mean here yesterday?" Shouldn't today be, "If I lift will I get bulky?"

Where did I put my schedule?

M- Lifting = Bulky
T - When is water water
W - Clean vs. Dirty
Th - Why is everyone so mean
Fri - Boobs

My point is, surely we all created our accounts for the same reasons: to seek advice, offer and receive support, ask for motivation as well as motivating others etc etc. I think "cyber bullying" is a bit of a strong term and thrown about too freely but I do get the impression that a lot of people like to sit behind their keyboard making negative comments and don't stop to think of the consequences.

There are consequences to every comment you make, whether in real life or via the wonder of the internet. Even in RL you will get myriad responses to a cry for help/attention/comfort/whatever, but it is how you choose to deal with those comments that dictate whether you bounce back or crumble.
I'm afraid if some slack-jawed-blokey-type hollering at you from a van is enough to make you crumble, the rest of your life ain't going to be a picnic.
Sometimes people do need to be told to toughen up, not in an unpleasant or rude way, but it still needs to be said. Unfortunately, some people don't have the words to phrase it pleasantly, sometimes it's their intention to be harsh, and sometimes they just say the first thing that pops into their head because they're either stupid or don't give a rat's *kitten*.
So many possibilities.
But please don't tar everyone with the same brush. Life WILL throw more **** at that young lady than having somebody yell at her, and someone saying 'get over it' to her might just know what they're talking about. :flowerforyou:

Yes.

Also, didn't we just do, "Why is everyone so mean here yesterday?" Shouldn't today be, "If I lift will I get bulky?"

Where did I put my schedule?

M- Lifting = Bulky
T - When is water water
W - Clean vs. Dirty
Th - Why is everyone so mean
Fri - Boobs

I vote that all days be Friday.

Yes.

I'm having a little trouble reconciling the fact you think this is OK but your profile says, "do good." I'm probably guilty right now of posting without thinking enough

Yes.

I think that people tend to be straightforward and blunt, especially on the internet, which will offend those who are "easily offended". And I just think Jenna Marbles is funny; so sue me.

Also, the "Do good" on my profile is part of a quote from Boy Meets World, so you might want to hop down from that high horse before you fall off and get hurt.

I know I said I wasn't going to say anything but it's my day off and I don't know how to put my soap box away. I just wanted to share a story.
When I was in high school, one of my best friends had posted on myspace (cuz myspace was cool back then) about how she had an awful day. The details of her day didn't seem TOO awful so people began to gang up on her, leaving comments calling her a "big baby" and a "drama queen" and saying things like"Grow up"and "No one cares!!!" I saw those comments and didn't say anything because I didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she wasn't physically being harmed and it's not like they were making fun of how she looked or anything. 8 years later I still can't forgive myself for it because that same day she killed herself. To this day I wonder if maybe I had said something, maybe if I had told people to leave her alone, maybe she'd be alive today. I'm sure those people thought that their comments weren't that bad or just "tough love" but the fact of the matter is, you don't know what someone is going through in their life. Not everyone has a strong support system to hear them out when they need to vent. That's why it really bothers me when I see people poking fun at people when they are upset, regardless of how the situation may seem silly to others. I don't think it's ok to demean people who are already in a low place, especially when they have already stated that they have emotional issues. It's one thing to say "You shouldn't let idiots get you down. Hold your head up and move on." it's ANOTHER thing to say "You're an attention *kitten*. Go away." I realize that this is the internet and a lot of people wouldn't even care if their comments pushed a stranger over the edge. HOWEVER, I hope this at least makes ONE person think. Is your funny sarcastic comment really worth someone's life?

I haven't read past this comment so I have no idea if or how anyone else responded, and I prefer it that way actually.

I hear you loud and clear... that being said, many people are still where you were when you didn't bother saying anything, and still more people are where the others were who basically told the girl to suck it up and deal with it. I don't know if anyone was strong enough to go against the tide on myspace and actually hear her out. It sounds like no one did. That's rough. And her decision was obviously not solely based on that incident; I'm sure it was the final straw in a whole ton of straws.

That being said, the opposite happened here on MFP. A bunch of people did offer support to this girl. Some didn't say anything and some posted things that might have made her feel worse, and now more people are jumping to her defense and this will continue until the end of the work day, most likely. And then tomorrow this can start all over again with some other post. Because no matter what happens or what gets said, no one is going to get shamed into changing the way they feel about the kind of post that girl put up here. It's not personal to her, honestly. It's how they feel about that kind of post. And while I respect that you're trying to show the possible consequences, I just think it's mostly going to fall on deaf ears because people are either the type to think of the other person's feelings before posting or they're not; beyond that, people tend to learn from their own experience rather than someone else's.
