As we all know cyber bullying is one of the challenges that we do face online, most especially when making use of our social media platform like Facebook, WhatsApp, telegram etc.
What is your understanding on Cyber bullying?
The word cyber bullying is a bullying that take place online through the uses of electronic devices like our smartphones and our computer. In addition to the word I have come to understand that Cyber bullying is an intended act that is done deliberately in order to make life unpleasant for another person.
From the meaning above, we can see that cyber bullying is intentionally done by either a person or a group of people to make life unpleasant for another person who happens to be their victim. Cyber bullying usually take place over the internet through the uses of the following platform; social media platform (Facebook, WhatsApp, telegram), text message, application and many other.
Cyber bullying can be regarded as sending an offensively message to another, threatening the life of another on group chat or private chat and also having access to the personal information of another person. In a nutshell, cyber bullying is a very serious threat that is confronting the uses of our devices.
Have you ever been a victim or perpetrator of Cyber bullying?
Yes I have been a victim of cyber bullying before. My Cyber bullying happened to me via my departmental WhatsApp group which almost everyone in my department were laying some allocations against without no reason because of the lies that was put against me in the group.
Give an instance (if any) wherein you or someone you know felt bullied in cyberspace, and what spiked such a feeling. (It could be throughout any social platform)
Alright friend, as I have earlier said, I have been a victim of cyber bullying before. This was briefly how my cyber bullying happens to me and how I was felt. It is just like a norms for ladies to be jealousing themselves most especially when one has started seeing how good the other lady life is progressing or refuses to follow her own lifestyle.
Well this was how my cyber bullying happened. I met a lady at campus whom later became my roommate for just a semester before we departed. I and this lady were very good friends until something happened. What happened was that one of her friend came to our room and stoled her items which make her to start threatening my life that I was the one that stole her item.
As a lady that we are she didn't took time to investigate the whereabouts of her items instead she put everything on my head started spreading my name about that I am a thief. She went on our WhatsApp group chat and started saying that I am a thief of which almost everyone in the group was in support of her.
With how far she had spoiled my name, I felt so bullied in the WhatsApp because of how people were in support of her. Infact I felt so emberranced and left the WhatsApp group. Although, on a good day she found her stollen item from one of her friend.
How did this encounter affect this said person?
The encounter affected me so bad in such a way that I started feeling as if I should quit the school and everyone around me for that whole semester. I felt so bad with the way my friend was going about telling on our group chats and began telling people that I stole her item.
The worst of it all was that once a person that knows me get to hear her own side of the story first, the person will chat me up and be saying that why did I stole her item. That is with the way a lot of people were in support of her I was so terrified to even closed down my social media apps.
How safe do you feel on Steemit? And have you ever felt bullied at any point in time? (on Steemit)
On Steemit I feel so safe and I have never ever felt bullied at any point in time before. On Steemit I have never for once experienced anything that is related to cyber bullying before.
What lessons did you gain from such a scenario? And what advice can you give to your audience?
Base on the scenario that happened to me I have gain a lot of lessons and one of the lessons is to be mindful with the person that I take as a friend. Also I shouldn't get into arguments with something that I truly know that I didn't commit, instead i should always be myself and act right despite the alligation and wait for the truth to be out.
Finally to this I gain a lesson of how to ignored 😭 charlantal attitude of people that distinguish themselves as good people.
My advice to my auduince is to learn how to seek for peace at all time and be very mindful with the type of word that you said sometime most especially when you are angry as someone may inteprete your words in a negative way.
I am inviting @simonnwigwe, @preye2 and @yakspeace to also take part in the contest which I have participated.
This is so pathetic to hear how you were bullied on your school WhatsApp group by your people you call friends. I admire you approach, leaving the group was the best decision because those false allegation would have gotten to you if you never left earlier. Thank God that the lady saw her stolen item from another fellow. You have done well.

It was sad experience you had. Often without investigation we can do lot of mistakes as your roommate did. You said as of ladies, I think there are some or many of men also doing same. Without investigation they kill each other, they do whatever they want with other. Etc.
After all it's nice that she got the truth, and one thing that she may felt a shame for seconds, or more. That's what she deserves.
