Since I have woken up, I have gotten one hit after another. I haven't been able to do a single thing right with people. I tried to advertise for a fundraiser and that bit me in the ass in a couple of different ways. I was even told that if I was advertising, I should be willing to pay for more than shipping :( Really? What gives someone the right to tell someone else to buy products for them?
Then I posted a more modern "Breast Self Exam" diagram. The company who posted it would donate $1,000 for every 10,000 shares it received. Someone reported it on my page and it is now removed.
Now I just got a message from Facebook telling me that they have received 6 requests to have my profile removed.
I am so incredibly hurt right now. I can't even be mad anymore because I feel as if the life has been sucked out of me. I have received so much nastiness since last night, that I am not even sure if any of this is worth it anymore. I feel so awful right now and so completely alone.
I do not force people to read my blogs or to even be friends with me, so I don't really understand why I am getting all of this backlash. If you don't like me or what I have to say, just delete me or don't read it.
I have been the victim of internet bullying since last night, and it feels awful. Saddest part is, through it all, I have been advertising a Cancer Fundraiser and helping two other organizations out with their fundraisers, as well as editing photo's for someone free of charge, taking care of my sick kiddo's and planning a gift-trip out for my little brother.
I really deserve all of the Bullying right?
All I can do is say Thank You to all of you who have so completely hurt me. All I have ever tried to do is be a good person, be myself, be a great parent and a good advocate. Obviously that isn't enough for people. So think on it for a bit and then let me know what it is I can do to deserve your respect. And if you feel it isn't going to be "cool" to be friends with me or help your popularity, then delete me. Don't sit and torment me.
Rach, I may not always comment on things, but it doesn't mean I don't support you. I think you are adorable and it breaks my heart when you are bullied. I see things on facebook and the internet in general all the time that I don't like or agree with. But I never feel the need to be rude to the person that posted it. I just ignore it and move on. Like my Grandpa used to say, opinions are like assholes and everybody has one. If I saw you right now I would give you a big squishy boob hug!
ReplyDeleteI say Fuck em!! Keep being yourself Rachel, a good person, great advocate, awesome friend and super Mom!! And anyone who doesn't like it can piss off! Do what you do well and ignore the negative, because unfortunantly there is always going to be hate, negativity,and mean people! They suck, NOT YOU!
ReplyDeleteI am really tired of bullies. They are lucky you are not the kind of person who would copy and paste their emails into a public forum. Facebook posts and blog entries have places comments for the public to see. If these people are passionate about what they feel why don't they share it in a comment, write their own facebook post or start their own blog where they can say whatever they want? There is a way to disagree with someone while still showing them respect as a human being. The best way to teach your kids not to be a bully is not to be one yourself. Some people out there need to grow up and start setting a better example.
ReplyDeleteGGGRRRRR.....Seriously, nothing I say will make it better. Just know I love you and people are so ignorant and giant assholes!!! There is no reason for them to be belittling you. Just remember, those that care are here!
ReplyDeletefreedom of speech Rach say as you feel and think. i am one also that if i dont like something i move on like an adult and pretend it doesnt exist. how does that saying go...those who know you know you well those who dont can go to hell lol..

Don't let the weak and petty behaviors of others get the best of you. Breast cancer is "BREASTS" for those who can't handle the word or image....please Lord never let their BREASTS or the "BREASTS" of someone they love, get infected with the terrible disease! Should they ever be faced with any sort of adversity please Lord never let it land on their doorstops BECAUSE their shallow thinking and tunnel vision will not lead them to see the clear beauty in every single beautiful people surrounding them with open arms and lots of love! God is forgiving therefore he too must have an open mind!!!!!! Keep on going strong....your heart is in the right place! It sickens me how the weak and narrow minded seem to be allowed by the rest of us to be bullied into backing fown...well BULLSHIT...... we and our voices and opinions are worthy and they stem from the fact that we are fueled by a love.....a very strong and determined love!!!!
