I will be contacting the Venture Capitalists that are funding this company and try to persuade them to make some changes or they will be facing LOTS of bad press very soon. Please help me encourage Formspring to eliminate the ability for people to post anonymously.
Honestly, kid's these days need to just suck it up. Yes, it's hurtful, blablablabla. If you feel hurt, either block them or stop going on the site. If you don't know how to deal with the dangers of the ocean, you shouldn't be in the ocean. Exactly the same thing on the internet. Teens are sometimes immature, cyberbullying or harassing students by posting rumors or hurtful comments about them in a way that might show up in a search.
Formspring should be shut down! Please help me to eliminate formspring. Well since someone deleted my comment that I just posted I guess we can't have a fair discussion. This clearly proves that all discussion and reasearch on cyberbullying is misguided and biased.
Good day now. Comments that include profanity are immediately deleted. We appreciate a dialogue about these issues but insist that it is done in a respectful and appropriate way.
And does your daughter have to have a formspring account? She made it herself. The only way she can receive these comments from people is if she continues to keep her account active and use it. Your daughter is getting what she's asking for. Truthfully, Formspring is a really bad site and is doing nothing but fueling the Cyber Bullying Age.
But to take the site down because of hateful comments isn't necessary, people need to realize life is not always going to be good, There will be some things people say about you that are hateful and mean-spirited but there's a little tactic a lot of people need to learn how to use and that's IGNORING. I am not saying that cyber bullies are doing a good thing but nothing they say should really matter if the victim has enough common sense and confidence to brush it away.
I understand there are some concerned parents out there that wonder if they're child is vulnerable to this. Which they are, but most of the time some victims do some kind of instigating of their own to be subjected to some type of bullying, whether it be indirect or direct they usually have done something. And Formspring is a website people sign up for, if she made the Formspring she was asking for people to ask anonymous questions and she would have had to have the idea that people would use that to a malicious advantage.
If she feels bullied, take the Formspring down, there's your best solution. I am in middle school and I have a formspring too. Yeah i get nice things and I also get mean things. If your young and you want a formspring its only for people that don't care.
I personally don't care what others have to say about me. Yes I am curious though thats why I have one. If your the kinda person that cares what others have to say about you then formspring is not for you. I enjoy it, answering the questions. I have answered over 's of questions. I have been fine. It all depends on your personality. I think any kind of bullying is stupid and pointless. It really disgust me that people would sometimes go to the extreme to hurt another.
Everyone is different and that's what makes us unique and beautiful, and we shouldnt change because others say so. We are who we- because God made us that way and for a purpose. My heart goes out to all those who are victimes of bullying. I will pray for you and I hope God gives you the strength to stay strong and overcome the obstacles life has!
For those who thing bullying is ok, it's not. It doesn't get you anywhere but being responsible for someone life. Stop be insecure and hurting others just to make yourselves look mighter. I'll pray for you as well that God will give you a change of heart. Seenow my child does not have a formspring, yes they have a facebook, which i monitor daily, have passowrds too…. June 15th, at pm And does your daughter have to have a formspring account?
She is asking for it? Do You honestly believe that? My sister has always been a well-behaved, good student with lots of friends. Since breaking up with her boyfriend, things have gone from bad to worse. Earlier this week, she decided it was too stressful to go to school and cut an entire day.
This is completely out of character! She called me halfway through the day and just cried about all the nasty texts, Formspring and Facebook messages she was getting. No such luck.

Formspring, Cyberbullying, and Alexis Pilkington. By Cyberbullying Research Center May 3, Tags: cyberbullying formspring suicide teens tweens Web safety. For a short while, Formspring was an actively growing social network. It first launched back in and signed up 1 million users in its first 45 days. At one point, Formspring reached 20 million registered users.
But in , Tumblr trounced Formspring when it launched a feature nearly identical to Formspring's bread and butter called "Ask Me. But the new idea ultimately fizzled. In March of this year, Formspring shut down and put a fair amount of blame on its anonymous content. Formspring's anonymous nature gave way to cyberbullying.
In , a year-old girl committed suicide after being bullied on Formspring. So Formspring as many people may remember it is no longer around, but it has since been revived under new management, according to Slate. For you.
