Hey guys, it's MrNeonShot.
A couple months ago, I got on a prison server, where there was a depressed girl playing. My brother told me she was acting so she could get promoted or something like that. I wanted to make friends with her, so I did what I usually did. I joked around.

That was a very bad mistake I made. I cut out the details just because I can't remember what I said, but I got angry and said some bad things. She didn't kill herself (I'm glad), but it still is no excuse for it. I had thought of writing an apology note before, but decided not to.

Then, I saw the FineBros.: Teens React to Bullying- Amanda Todd. My thoughts went immediately back to her, and I thought "Oh my God, what if she had killed herself over that!?" So now, I'm writing this part of the note to tell her that I'm sorry. Life is worth living, storms will pass, and don't believe anything on the internet.

To le Victims, You may feel like you aren't worth anything and that nobody cares. But, just look at Vincent Van Gogh. He is considered in the art world a "Master of Colors", and he painted some amazing stuff in his days. He made a good impression in the sand of art, but he didn't stick around long enough to see it. True, he wasn't able to live to see his paintings in Paris, but he could have stuck around to make more beautiful paintings, and some day, someone find his paintings to be beautiful.

To everyone else. No matter how ticked off you get, don't provoke someone you don't know into doing something stupid. Bullying is a serious matter. So, I guess what I'm trying to say to le Bullies is
GET OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL YOU LEARN SOME COMMON SENSE!

DISCLAIMER: None of the Admins know (yet) about the problem and do not necessarily share my same point of view.
THANKS: For not being ticked about my cyber bullying stuff, and for getting me on the reel for how ever long it was.
I've always wanted to be on the reel!

It's not necessarily killing yourself over the internet, but rather killing yourself from "friends" that are on the internet, that in Amanda Todd's case, make you feel comfortable enough to share yourself, and then crush your dreams.

While I completely understand the nature of this post, it, and posts like it have gotten on my nerves lately. It seems people ("victims" in this case, as it were) have completely forgotten the meaning of the word "disconnect". The internet is the soul embodiment of the first ammendment and as such you have to be ready to see, hear, or read absolutely anything (i.e. 4chan's /b/ forum). Do I think it is right to be mean to someone over the internet? Absolutely not. 99% of the time, content like that is unnecessary and should be avoided. However, it is up to the individual to determine that they themselves are physically and emotionally mature enough to handle the (PURPOSELY UNRATED) online interactions of video games before clicking the "log in" button. The instant this girl saw that you didn't want to play nice (which was probably evident within minutes of your conversation), it should have been her cue to either alert a moderator or administrator of the situation, and, if that channel failed, disconnected from the server, leaving them with an email/complaint about you. Killing oneself over the words of complete stranger that is possibly thousands of miles away and that you have a 0.0001% of ever seeing in anything other than a representation of 1's and 0's doesn't make any sense to me. Woah....sorry for the mid-morning mini-rant guys. Have a nice day.

I completely understand what you are saying. This post wasn't just a warning to others about cyber bullying, but I posted it as an apology letter to this person (I think her name was Duray___).
I'm happy that she didn't get me banned for my immature behavior, and of course, I'm glad you are responding.

I must ask. Why is it you replace random instances of the word 'the' with 'le'? It almost trivialises any seriousness you're trying to convey.

Have you ever wondered why tv shows have commercials? It's to give your mind a break from the intensity of the show. That is somewhat why I used "Le" instead of "The".
The other part was because I've been watching a whole lot of Tiny Toon Adventures.

Television shows are little more than the reward you're given for watching commercials.
