This obsession with sheep again, LastsAWayOverSecondMan? :P

Thanks man

I've never understood how so many people don't understand the system :P
"Oh I'll never get the points for X so I took it off before change of mind ended"
They don't understand it's order of preference not order of points.

Ya 4th and 5th year work experience are the only times I've ever worked but they were both primary school/preschool so I don't even consider them. I've also down when I ran the AIB school bank as experience but I've no proper referees on my cv :pac:

Lads my sister was getting loads of crap on ask.fm .. its actually horrible how people can say most of it, theyre telling her to die and kill herself! :eek: When i was in first year i cant remember people being anywhere near as mean as that!

Its the anonymity. People can say whatever they want with no repercussions. People were always this mean but couldnt say anything because it would damage their social image. If I were to tell someone to kill themselves in a public area like school then I would be turned on by most of my peers.

People also don't understand the severity of what they say. They dont take saying something like "Just kill yourself seriously" because they dont think the result of it will ever be that the person kills themselves. They never see the possibility that this person will actually kill themselves and how that will impact everything around them.

Finally it's because people dont know how deep words can cut. They dont see the persons true reaction to this and just how much damage it really does. Its usually the "popular" people who are the bullies because they have never felt the other side of the constant insults. They just dont know how much their words hurt.

I've seen Ask.fm and while I dont think that fault lies with the owners by any means I dont think people are responsible enough for that sort of power.

I take it from:

When i was in first year

That your sister is in first year and as a result dosent know how to deal with this. Nobody does that young. This could have been very damaging. You done the right thing.

Ya shes in first year but like i dont know why she felt the need to have an ask.fm account in the first place as its just asking for trouble. Anyways her page is gone now .. my brothers going mad over and if he found out who was writing it i think he would actually seriously hurt them like!! :pac:

Im so glad to be finished with school and as much as i enjoyed it and all that i would hate to have to go through it all again

SecondMan

She should disable her account. I don't see why people get so much pleasure from having an account in the first place. Ask.fm is a haven for abuse and everybody knows this. Even the more popular people get abuse on it. Some sadistic people just thrive on making people feel down.

Peregrine

Why anybody uses ask.fm is beyond me

A website where people can say whatever they want to me without me ever knowing to it is, that's like asking for trouble

Gotta say something? Say it to my face


..I'd still be upset but at least I'll know your name after my world domination :pac:

Ask.fm is the newest thing to have and its a hateful thing. I've seen the abuse people get and it's just awful. I told my sister not to get one.

I am so glad to be finished school its not believable.

The other side of ask.fm is the bleeding hearts that faun over anybody who gets the slightest bit of abuse. While obviously no where near as bad it makes them look sad and pathetic.

When i asked her this her reply was that you get to learn stuff about yourself that you didnt even know :pac:
TBH I think its such an attention thing though cause after a few negative comments then theres always people there saying how 'perfect' you are! :rolleyes: I certainly wont be setting up an account on it

Yeah I guess they do it for positive comments

Someone I know set up an account hoping for some romantic secret-admirer-to-perfect-boyfriend fairytale crap

Corvo Attano

Bleeding Hearts the lot of 'em.

peekachoo

I admit I find some aspects of it highly amusing :P
For example on my Facebook I will see a girl post her ask.fm saying 'bored ask me stuff!!'
Then a few minutes later it comes up on my homepage that she answered a question, "you're a b*tch" or whatever

Queue angry status about getting sh*t on ask.fm! Like they literally asked for it :pac:

Corvo Attano

Ah Facebooks not bad once you dont fall into the trap of adding everybody you know ever then you tend not to see the stuff that destroys your faith in humanity.

Jade.

If I actually had the patience to unlike all those stupid pages I liked when I was 12 and unfriend the people I don't know my Facebook would be grand :pac:

Corvo Attano

They made it alot easier. If a pages posts are annoying ya ya just click hite and it give you the option to unlike.

SecondMan

One infamous Facebook status read: "Bye America, hello New York"
