cyber bullied to the point of being told to kill myself...best friend left me

Kyra_jade · ‎15-09-2016

my best friend whom I offered everything to, a shoulder, a laugh, even a home when she was getting kicked out of hers, is now believing somebody who she has never liked about a horrible rumour about me which isn't even true! help? im trying to be compassionate and understand that if I were told that my boy friend was cheating on me with my best friend I would probably feel the same way. she has blocked me on all media and will refuse to speak to me at school. the girl who started this rumour has cyber bullied me to the point of her telling me to kill myself. im just extremely lost as ive lost my best friend and my self esteem even more than I already had.

Hey Kara_jade, I've seen things like this happen numerous times, and its one thing that really irritates me, how people even have the nerve to do things like that. I've recently lost my best friend as well, who happened to be my girlfriend actually =( . But my advice would be to not let it get to you too much, if you didn't do anything wrong then there isn't much to be upset about, but I do understand where your coming from. If she is your best friend and your innocent, then she'll come back. 😃

Hi Kyra Jade,

I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I had something similar happen to me and my friend a few years ago and I was completely devastated. I couldn't understand it, and I cried a lot and got really angry. Unfortunately with us I couldn't repair it. One of the things that I took out of this situation was - if she really is your friend why is she believing a silly rumour that's not even true? Why doesn't she confront you about it?

I'm really glad that you're trying to see her side but it doesn't sound like she's being very kind and letting you have your say. I hope that you're not blaming yourself because you're definitely not in the wrong here. I think that as someone whose gone through a similar experience you should wrap yourself up in lots of self-care - blankets, cuddles and all the things you love. Going through a friend break-up is so hard so it's okay to feel all the feelings.

Also - have you told anyone about the girl who cyberbullied you? It's not okay that she said these things and has told you to kill yourself. I strongly encourage you to speak up and say something - nobody deserves to hear things like that. Let your parents know, or your teachers, and then take advantage of your 'block' and 'delete' buttons. You don't need people like that in your life.
