I've yet to see where the bullying aspect is coming into play. Pictures are worth a thousand words and it explains this whole thread:

[Pelios]

Block her.

[SuperBrunetteCutie4Ever]

to Mexico, I don't think that will keep her from punching my face in :/

[OMFG!You'reActuallySmart!]

You're over-reacting completely. From the text log, she doesn't know who on Earth you are so there is no reason she's going to come to your house and punch your face in.

Brooke,

Firstly, I would encourage you not to talk to people that give you 'crap' online, and I'd advise you to ignore it completely.

If you choose to report it, I have enclosed steps on how to do so. It maybe good to block the person too; to ensure they cannot have further contact with you.

Report a Profile: Go to the profile. Scroll down to the bottom of the left column, under the friend list. Click the Report/Block This Person" link.

I hope I have been of some help.
Take care.

[SuperBrunetteCutie4Ever]

Well, update! I decided to report it to the police and at this moment I'm waiting for them to arrive :P

[Sea Monkey]

Okay, its great that you are reporting it, nobody should have to go through threats or any type of bullying what-so-ever.

[OMFG!You'reActuallySmart!]

I'm curious, what makes you so afraid that the threat is real? If you're talking to someone online who doesn't know you but has only seen a picture of you, chances are they're not going to come to your house and beat you up. They may use the picture for whatever purposes though. But what makes you so sure the empty threat is real? For example, I know you're in BC and I assume the avatar is a picture of you. Supposing for some reason I truly hate you and want to kick your head in, I'm not motivated enough to travel across the country to find a person whose name I don't know. If the person you're chatting to was on a different continent altogether, it's even less likely they'll travel to BC, find you, beat you up, fly back to wherever they were from and continue with their life. So why do you find the threat so very real?

As for reporting it to the police, I think they'll say the same thing that I did or possibly have them apologize to you.

[SuperBrunetteCutie4Ever]

Well, they're friends with some of my friends that have put people in the hospital quite a few times :/

If they're your friends, that implies they wouldn't easily turn on you and beat you up because you look ugly, according to the troll. They're aware of your appearance and have accepted it, so there's no reason for them to suddenly turn around and beat you up over your appearance.

[BDF]

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's just a fool playing with you online.

If it makes you safer though you could keep a brick in the bottom of your handbag and swing it at someone's head if they attack you. But wrap it in some cloth... you don't wana kill them. A lot of females do this actually, from what I've heard. I don't think there are any laws against carrying a brick in your handbag.

[MegaMadness]

Honestly, I would of stopped talking to her, way before you did. Pretty much at the second thing she said. Anyway just block her. Chances are she was probably having a good old laugh about it and didn't mean most of what she said. She was probably just bored or in a bad mood and loooking for someone, anyone to upset, annoy, etc and by the looks of it you were an easy target. Don't worry about it.

In today's world, that is completely impossible for anyone, Teen or otherwise, to come off online chatting. What does an Evangelist Pastor have to do with any of this?

Back on Topic however, you did the right thing. Threatening of violence is a crime. Please give us an update.

How about instead of thanking someone random, you actually explain why someone should thank her. There's no more harm for a teen being on a chat than there is for an adult being on chat legally and psychologically. Furthermore, it's not something that is very feasible to do. I'm not sure if you're making yourself an excellent example of a troll or just someone babbling nonsense.

Hun, I think you're overreacting a little bit.. I mean, the police? Really? As stated more than once above me, this girl isn't really going to punch your face in. She doesn't even know you. You have no reason to be scared, and I honestly don't see the bullying aspect.

I don't see the bullying aspect either but I think it's the stupid notion that if someone isn't nice to you, they're automatically a bully. As I said, it's a stupid notion that unfortunately many people hold.

She has every right to be scared.
I know I would be...
And reporting it to the police will ensure it won't happen again...
At the end of the day a threat to beat someone up, whether serious or not, should not be taken lightly. If someone threatened to commit suicide, would you take them seriously? Or would you brush it off?
It's the same principle really, just a little more extreme.
I hope everything went well with the police. <3

You would be scared if you were chatting online with someone who was obviously trolling you but then gave a silly threat? Are you actually serious?

If I were chatting online to a random person who threatened to commit suicide, I wouldn't call the police or anything of that nature. I've been in chat rooms where people did say such things and others including myself told the person they're foolish to come to a random chat where nobody knows them and expect someone to constantly talk with them. Instead, I just tell them to call emergency services or friend/family members.

It's the same, although more extreme as you mentioned to having someone threaten to punch you in the face. To such comments of being punched, I either ignore it or laugh at it, probe for more humour then eventually ignore it.

I just think if someone gets so scared from such a petty threat they need to call the police, then they probably take the threat of getting birthday beats to be so serious they need to call the police. It's ridiculous.

Reporting it to the police may also make them eventually annoyed with you because you're calling them every time someone gives a mindless empty threat.

[Marguerite]

Sorry but I think the police have more important things to worry about than some troll on the net who has taken issue with your teeth.

Some may say we're raising a generation of pansies. I wouldn't of course, because I'm nice and supportive and don't want to get banned

[CanadaCraig]

Hi Brooke!!

I have to say - I'm disappointed in the lack of compassion from many [Most?] of those who took the time to respond to your message. It doesn't matter how someone ELSE might have responded emotionally. It only matters how YOU responded. It was YOUR experience after all. And it obviously really upset YOU. So my heart goes out to you.

I think you did the right thing. Better safe than sorry.

But next time...............

Do YOURSELF a favour and 'hang up'. [So to speak] Nice people are their own worst enemies when it comes to the not-so-nice in this world. Nice people are polite and considerate and believe [When they really should NOT - sometimes] that they 'owe' someone a response and/or 'owe' someone an explanation. But we do NOT! We do NOT have to KEEP the conversation going.

Learn to say... "I have no interest in this conversation. Bye!"

GREAT BIG HUG
Craig!!

[The Morrigan]

I'm sorry you feel the need to get the police involved but try not to be scared, this girl obviously doesn't know who you are.

I suggest deleting the person off facebook and don't accept people you're not sure if you know in future and it'll help prevent anything like this happening in the future.

Take care
