Bullying on the bump.

rissaannx

Has anyone else experienced some sort of bullying on this app? Whether you might have asked silly questions and they tell you to "read a book because you're obviously lacking common sense"? Well don't feel bad. It happens a lot and I can assure you that they do not define your pregnancy and your smarts. I asked a silly question about cough drops because I've heard several stories and I got told to read a book..? Not sure why. Anyhow they've been following me on every post that I post and I just want you all to know you can talk to me about anything. Don't feel bad and don't be ashamed. We are women and we are above bullying. ❤️

Bullying is when it is repeated from the same person. If it's from Internet strangers, it is not bullying. Bullying is a real problem - don't try to minimize it by calling what you're experiencing here "bullying." It's the Internet. People say things.

It's called The Bump Community. Communities have social norms. By disregarding those social norms you open yourself up to criticism. Criticism is not bullying.

I feel like we've had, I don't know, about a hundred threads about this very topic. No one here is being bullied. Just because you got your feelings hurt on the Internet dies not mean you've been bullied. It's very dramatic to claim such a serious offense. I really need to figure put how to explain this in a way people will understand. It's the Internet! You aren't some helpless victim. If you don't like the way this form rolls then why stay and keep subjecting yourself to. This "bullying"?

Blackpearl is it like... Your mission in life to be the bullying martyr? Because your responses are so ridiculous in these threads.

Being the adult in the conversation suits me I guess.

Your constant WK status makes you feel very superior to us doesn't it? Just because you don't agree with the majority does not make you right or bullied.

Way to be rude to your whole BMB.
You were already on my post it for WKing earlier and I haven't responded to you since.
I bet you're on a lot of post its now.

She also doesn't care for the mod nominees. They might run around like queen of the mean girls and encourage people to leave.

As well as the fact that she thinks XO workers are here as trolls totes dissing other sites like BC and WTE.

Those two platforms seem to work against each other though.

I've been called out for stupid stuff I said, 100% my fault. I never felt bullied and I'm an adult so I call it constructive critisism. The bump members are honest and that's what I like about it.

Yep, ditto!

@blackpearl08  – You come off as that person who always has to have the last word, and who always has to be right. Well…this may very well be the day that neither one works in your favor.
After being bullied as a young child for a few years, I know EXACTLY what real bullying is.
This site does not bully. It disagrees. It debates. It is sarcastic. It likes to tease. It also is very supportive.

 

If tons of women were being bullied on here, they would be in this thread right now speaking up. It currently appears it’s only two of you, and one of you is a WK.

You're all disgusting human beings. Like puke that has been sitting in the sun for hours. And I don't say that as a form of bullying, I say this from the inner being inside of me that wants to explode. I'm appalled. This is not supportive, it's a waste of my time. I hope that one day your children don't have to deal with pathetic low life scheming hags like yourselves. And you give NO ADVICE! Lmfao so what are you really here for?! I'm going to go now and hope that your journey in life takes a huge fucking turn around because you're all obviously miserable. Stick that in your fucking juice box and suck it.

I've just about fucking had it with people throwing around the bullying word without even knowing what it fucking means! I usually try to be nice, friendly, sarcastic, funny, and bizarre on this board, but I'm seriously done seeing this topic come up AGAIN. 

I was bullied (like actual bullying people need to learn the definition of) consistently growing up. Occasionally physically, all the time mentally and emotionally. And even though I eventually escape it- didn't mean I escaped suicide attempts. Didn't mean I escaped the mental and emotional scars that still haunt me almost twenty years later. It literally shaped me as a person, and not for the better.

So fucking stop using the word bullying like you know it or are experiencing it- because you are not. 

I'm not even going to drop a mic, I'm going to throw it across the fucking room so no one else can touch it and misrepresent bullying another fucking time.

I have seen plenty of woman on here acting like total children being ignorant to ladies who have questions that they actually are nervous about or really just don't know so maybe they think some of you ladies can help or have went threw it... Being pregnant for your first time or your tenth somthing always comes up that your like wow should I do that or not..... I don't care what any of you say nobody is perfect... Look at all those stupid pictures u "grown ass woman" posted are you not all mommies to be!!!??? Ew I feel sorry for you, have some respect and don't push woman who need this app away with ur sarcasm B.S !!!!! Be nice or don't say anything at all!!! I don't think she is posting to hear that she isn't being bullied and whatever people are entitled to their opinions and just what she said that made her feel bullied u guys posted right back to her like read a book learn the definition !!!!!! Like I said grow up ladies your havin babies!!!

Really @blackpearl08, you want to WK THIS??? I thought you were an "adult". 

Anyway, according to your posts it sure seems like you disagree with the way things are around here and you don't seem to like it here very much so why do you stay?

# 1. Can I start getting a dime every time someone says the bold and high lighted on here? Please? I want to start a college fund for this baby. 

# 2. @charlieswife77 How about you come back when you can form complete sentences with proper spelling. U is not a word. Havin, nope not a word. UR... again, not a word. I feel sorry for you that this is the paragraph that you chose to white knight with. Better luck next time.

Can someone clue me in on what the hell being in a sorority in college has to do with anything?

Because they're filled with mean girls. Obviously. Mean girls who are all bullies. No one there is nice to anyone. Ever.
