But then you go on Tumblr, and you see something different. You see girls buying clothes, cutting their hair, taking laxatives, starving themselves, doing anything to make themselves look thinner. They base their self-worth on a NUMBER projected on a man-made scale. And to be honest with you, it breaks my heart. Because I know that you CAN eat without feeling guilty, you CAN eat fattening food without punishing yourself afterwards. What the scale says is NOT the most important thing. Being thin is NOT more important than being healthy. Being thin and not eating are NOT signs of true will power and success. Screw what all these pro-ana blogs tell you. You don’t have to be thin to be attractive. You are perfectly okay just the way you are.

My friend Mick was cyberbullied for many many years.  I tried to talk to him and give him hugs and let him know that everything was going to be alright.  I got the call this morning that he wound up in the hospital and is on life support.  He died later today.

Going through his inbox on tumblr is horrible.  The rude things people said to him, the names they called him.  I guess this is normal on this website, but rest in peace mick, you will be missed.

that’s terrifying knowing someone is responsible for this death. i hope you feel guilty whoever drove him to do this. god bless your soul mick

Wow. May his soul rest in peace. I’m sure he didn’t do anything to any of those heartless people. Many just like to hurt others until theyre hopeless and can’t take it anymore. Tumblr once used to be a safe community for blogs to get compliments, and for people to be independent… But it’s become a trap and people are continuously dying because of heartless assholes. Mick didn’t deserve this, and everyone that sent those messages deserves to be of blame for this situation. Terrible people in the society, all of you that lead to this are horrible. Put yourself in his shoes. I’m shocked, but the past cant be undone, I have no idea who mick is, but I’m sure he was a great guy that had hopes and dreams in front of him, in his future, but you heartless people killed him.

This is the reason why fucking idiot anons shouldn’t exist. I don’t understand why people have to be horrible for the sake of it anyway? Especially when this sort of thing happens because of it. It’s sad
