online bullying

[amalan11]

I wondered if anyone can explain how this continues to happen? .

I'm constantly reading how children are being bullied on line by their peers and classmates ect.What I'm curious to know  is why they don't just change their email address and set up social media acounts that only approved people can access. 

Do their classmates have to have access to their email addresses or something. .. I'm just surprised  that you can have children who are at the stage of being suicidal  and yet bullies can still contact them , am I missing something?

I'm sorry to hear how this has been preying on your mind. I've seen plenty of messageboards where there is abuse and it can be very upsetting if you don't feel you have done anything to warrant the strength of the abuse.

With schools, it is unlikely there would be bullying on the school grounds on the school computers but of course, when kids go home, they go on social media. There are ways & means to cut contact or limit contact on some sites such as snapchat & facebook but I don't think enough teens do it, they probably don't want to feel out of the loop.

With regard to your watches, your first 2 messages asked the buyer to return the watches at his own expense & i think that is what was making him angry.

You did change it in your third message so he may settle down now, with a bit of luck.

My understanding is he is not supposed to use negative feedback as a blackmailing tool.

Unfortunately, I think you probably should have offered a postage paid return right at the start because I suspect ebay will side with him if he says they are not working-not as described.

You've struck a person who is overly aggressive though. He could have communicated the same info to you in a more civil manner.

It is unsettling when it happens but just keep in mind he is wrong & you did not set out to cheat anyone.

Sometimes the fault really is with the other person.
