  4. 1. Do you think the solutions proposed in each article (for addressing the problems plaguing Ask.fm) will work? I think it might help some people.

    2. What have been your personal experiences on Ask.fm? I have none. I don't have an ask.

    3. Have you ever been bullied or been witness to bullying on the app? No I don't have a ask. Ive heard stuff about what has happened on the app that is why I don't have one and don't plan on getting one.

    4. Why do you think some people act so horrible to others? I think they are jealous of something the other person has, or the person that is being picked on is really annoying and needs to be taught a lesson just remember don't take things to far. Does anything justify this type of behavior? I can't say I have never picked on someone threw Facebook but I don't have ask so Ive never done anything on there.

    5. Do you believe you are ever truly "anonymous" on the internet? Not really if someone really wanted to find you then they could, without a problem. That is why you never post anything that you don't want someone to see.

    1. An add on to number 3...

      On other apps such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook I have seen bullying, my friend was even bullied one time.

    2. An add on to number 1...

      I think that some of the solutions will work for some people but there are so many people on there that there might not be a big difference. If someone was to read thi articleand find out how many people have died from bullying it might change their mind or atleast chill out a little.

  5. No,I personally do not think the solutions proposed in each article will work.. Because no matter what they do people wont stop being mean and cruel..
    I don't have experiences on ask . I don't have a account..
    No,I have never been bullied on ask, however, I have witnessed it.
    I think people act so cruel to others to try and make themselves feel good...
    No, I do not think you are ever really anon. on the internet because there is always something leading to who you are.

  6. 1.well when i read it it sounded like it was just trying to help some of the problems.

    2.well for me i dont have an ask.com.

    3. well to be honset i have ben bullyied all the wa through elementary school and i know what every one is talking about and what they go through i dont want other people to go through what its like i just dont like bullying and if i can put my opinion they should jsut shut down ask.fm.

    4.the reason i think some people act so horrible to others is because sometimes yeah people dont know they'er doing it and some people do it just to make them selves feel better about alot of stuff that there going through.

    5.no because there are alot of poeple that hack profiles it the worlld and they can get all your personal info and everything on your compuuter, phone, ipod, ipad and other technology uses but to be honest your never anonymous there are just those certin people out there who dont care about anything but them selves.

  7. 1. I do not think the solutions will work for everyone. The solutions will work for some kids but they said parents need to check their kids Ask.Fm and see if they are getting bullied but some kids parents do not care what they do and i think that is a big part of it.
    2. My personal experience on Ask.Fm is I had it but I seen how people were acting and bullying on it. I don't want anything to do with Ask.Fm with people acting like total fools and being mean on there.
    3. I have had mean things said to me but I have never personally been bullied usually if someone says mean things to me they are just playing but however, I have seen someone getting bullied before about their looks and it was very wrong.
    4. I think people act so horrible to others because they want what someone has or, knows they are insecure about themselves and want to be rood and mean about how they look and things like that.
    5. I personally don't believe that anyone can be anonymous on the internet. The only reason people want to be anonymous to either bully someone or to not want them to know who they are when they post things.

  9. 1.I think that it could help someone but if the bullying get to crazy then it need to be deleted. It's all in how you use Ask.fm.
    2.I don't have any personal experience on ask i don't have one.
    3.i have never been bullied but i have seen people being bullied and it is not right if you see someone getting bullied you should tell a adult.
    4.I think people are so horrible on ask cause the people they are bullying don't know who they are and i don't have a ask so i haven't picked on anyone on ask.
    5.No i don't think so cause you could track someone down easy if you wanted to but if you don't want anything said then don't put anything that you would want people to talk about you about on there .

  13. 1. I think it would help people that use ask.fm but there are other websites that people could also get bullied on like Facebook.
    2. I don't have a ask.fm account because I've heard bad things about it.
    3. I've never been bullied on the internet but I've seen where people say mean things to others.
    4. I think people act so mean to others because they think it makes them look better but really it makes them look bad. Also they could be jealous.
    5. I think you could be anonymous if you make a fake account but the police could track your computer or something but I don't know.

  18. 1. I dont think it will work for everybody beacuse there is to many people on Ask.fm.
    2. No I dont have one.
    3. My friend was being bullied on Ask.fm. People were saying she was over weight and I dont think I would ever get one because of that.
    4. I think people are jealous and think they are better than other people and thats why they bully others.
    5. I dont think anyone can be anyonymous over the internet. The real reason they are anyonomous is because they put things on the internter no one knows who they are.

  19. 1 . Do you think the solutions proposed in each article (for addressing the problems plaguing Ask.fm) will work?..Yes , I do think it will work , maybe it will help some people.

    2 . What have been your personal experiences on Ask.fm? I dont have a personal experience because I dont have an ask.fm..but from what I hear about it ...its not good ..allot of bullying act is taken place on there .

    3. Have you ever been bullied or been witness to bullying on the app? No ive never been bullied on there or winessed to bullying.

    4. Why do you think some people act so horrible to others? Does anything justify this type of behavior? Maybe just to see how some people might react..or maybe they are just that cruel ..

    5. Do you believe you are ever truly "anonymous" on the internet? No i dont think im anonymous.

  20. 1. Well, honestly, the solutions are bound to work for maybe so long, but until they come up with better and more efficient ways to prevent the bullying then the teens will be more than likely continue the harmful things they were doing previously. Parents and others can do many things to put off or prevent bullying for the time being, but many people are too stubborn to change how they act and what they do. Because I believe that you can't change a person. But I do think that if everyone steps in to help prevent or put off bullying then the cases of bullying will be reduced and become more scarce. Some people might still bully, but if that happens, then we can teach the victims how to ignore such things and get on with life. That's pretty much all we can do as a society.
    2. I don't use Ask.fm, but I have had at least one encounter of cyber bullying. It really wasn't bad once I blocked them and just didn't think about it. It was the only mature way I knew how to prevent it.
    3. Yes, I have encountered bullying, as I stated above. But not on this app.(I have never used Ask.fm)
    4. I know some people that usually "bully" or "make fun" of others because, they like the laughs and they like to hear others laugh at their "cute" jokes. There are also others that do it only 'cause they have a lot of stress and other conflicts in their life. In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing that justifies that type of behavior. It's very immature and unthoughtful. If they really have problems, then maybe they should talk to someone, not cause others to have problems. And the ones that just want the laughs and attention from others for bullying, then they must be sick. It's not at all legit to do. If they want attention and laughs, they should dedicate their time to thinking of a better way to attract attention.
    5. I believe that you are truly "anonymous" on the internet. Only you can know you. And what I'm saying is, for all they know, you could be a completely different person in real life. Every person acts like a different person depending on the place that they are at. People even act differently around friends, but only 'cause deep down, they are afraid of being judged by their friends and others. So, I pretty much think you're truly "anonymous" on the internet.

  21. 1. No because no matter what you tell people they will do what they please. Even if they get in trouble. The solutions will only stop it for some but not all for a short period of time.When I read it it sounded like it was just trying to help some of the problems. I also think if someone finds out about this site and if they are still bullying they probably could close thus website down and then it want Be anymore Bullying.
    2. I don't have any encounter because, I just made and ask account so i have to get use to this website.
    3. No, I have never been bullied on this app, because, I just made an account and I hope that nobody tries to bully me on here.
    4. I know some people that usually "bully" or "make fun" of others because, they like to laugh and they like to hear others laugh at their jokes. There are also others that do it only because they have a lot of stress and other conflicts in their life. In my opinion, there's no need to bully on people no matter who says or does anything to you. It's very immature and pathetic. If they really have problems, then maybe they should talk to someone, like an adult or and elder.. And the ones that just want to laugh and get attention from others for bullying, then they must be sick. If they want attention and laughs, they should dedicate their time to thinking of a better way to attract attention.
    5. I believe that I am truly "anonymous" on the internet, It's certain websites and apps I like to use my real name on.

  22. 1. Do you think the solutions proposed in each article (for addressing the problems plaguing Ask.fm) will work? - Honestly, they probably will. You never know.

    2.What have been your personal experiences on Ask.fm? - I have never had a personal experience on ask, because I have never had an ask account.


    3.Have you ever been bullied or been witness to bullying on the app? No, I have never been bullied on this app( KILL THE FOLKZ )

    4.Why do you think some people act so horrible to others? Does anything justify this type of behavior? Maybe because , its how they are treated at home or else where... & no nothing justifies this type of behavior.

    5. Do you believe you are ever truly "anonymous" on the internet? Lol , In some way. But in other ways I dont.

  23. 1. Yes, I do think the solutions in each article will work because it will stop bullies.
    2. I don't use Ask.fm
    3. No, I don't have an ask.fm. But have heard stuff about it.
    4. I think people act like that towards each other because they are jealous of what they have or they just don't like them.
    5. No, because anybody can find out who you are.

  24. 1. No because no matter what you tell people they will do what they please. Even if they get in trouble. The solutions will only stop it for some but not all for a short period of time.In the second blog the suggestions were they should kill themselves . People online saying that should be arrested, because i think that is just like murder. Ask.fm should take of anonymous so they can get caught the next time one of these people tell the person asking the question to kill themselves.

    2. I have not been on this website personally but after today i will never go on this website. Because kids go through bad situations everyday. They do not need advise to be killing themselves.

    3. Yes I have, the things i see at this school is unreal. Such as fighting for no reason, saying hateful things, etc. But, things like this won't stop because they feel like they will never get caught.

    4. I think people act horrible to each other,because they try to act out in a group and they think it is cool. nothing justifies it because there are to many bullies in the world and you can not get all of them. Even if you do more bullies will be born .

    5. No, because there are hackers all over the world and they can track you down and find out every thing about you. also people will give out information easy because they are easily persuaded .

  26. 1)In my opinion with the problems Ask.fm are trying to resolve are close to impossible because they have created a site that pretty much allows you to say as you please so trying to stop them will only put a slow down on it for little bit but eventually will start again from steadily gaining users daily eventually more problems will begin to occur.
    2)I don't have any personal experiences for I don't have an Ask.fm.
    3)I have never been bullied but I have been a witness of bullying at school and out in public.
    4)I think that people act this way because of how they have been treated or abused in the past or they have low self a steam and want others to feel down of there self too.And for justice of this behavior there probably wouldn't be one.
    5)No, because there has to be some type of information given to make a profile that can link to an email or some type of contact to you to find out who you really are.

  27. 1. I think the solutions may help a little but it still will go on because some people just will not stop being mean.

    2. I do not have any personal experience because I do not have an ask.fm.

    3. I have never been bullied however,I have seen people be mean to each other like on facebook.

    4.I think people act horrible to other people because it makes them feel better to know that they are feeling bad like them.I don't think anything get justified from that type of behavior.

    5.I think that no ones is ever truly anonymous beacuse people can get tracked through hackers.

  28. 1. I think more could be done, but 24 hour monitoring of the site is a good idea. There is no way to put a stop to all bullying. Plenty more could be done if people really cared.

    2. No one has ever bullied me but I have seen where others are. People today bully other people to make themselves feel better. We should all try to build each other up. Bullying is ignorant and I think some people need a reality check.

    3. Not really. But I've seen people bullying other people. Some people just go all out trying to tear somebody down and get stuff started... That's wrong.

    4. I think some people that bully have problems of their own and to make other people on the same level as them. Those people need to solve their problems instead of living with them and bullying people.

    5. Nope. Not at all. There are ways for the right people to go back and find out who did what.

  31. 1.Do you think the solutions proposed in each article (for addressing the problems plaguing Ask.fm) will work? I think that it will bring everybody's attention that read the article to the problem with the website. The more people that know the problem the more likely chance something will be done about it.
    2. What have been your personal experiences on Ask.fm? My questions that I have gotten on the website have not all been mean but some of them are mostly people telling me stuff that they're scared to say to my face, which is just stupid.
    3.Have you ever been bullied or been witness to bullying on the app? No I have not and I wouldn't like to be.
    4.Why do you think some people act so horrible to others? Does anything justify this type of behavior? Really I just think that people can just be flat out mean to others and not even feel sorry for them. It's the way our generation has been raised or either seen done and parents not putting a stop to it.
    5.Do you believe you are ever truly "anonymous" on the internet? You're never truly anonymous on the Internet. There's always a way to find out who it was or what is was. There's a website already that not so many people know about that tells you who asked you the question on Ask.fm.

  32. 1. I think that you will never be able to solve the problem completely. The 24 hour monitoring is a good idea even though it's never going to stop all the bullying that's on ask.fm.
    2. I do have an ask.fm and most of the time people are mean to me on it. I think it's stupid how people are only brave enough to say things anonymously, when it's probably somebody you claim as your friend hiding behind a computer.
    3. Yes I have, both. It's basically full of drama and things to try and bring people down.
    4. I really have no idea. I've never been mean to anybody on there and I have no idea who says half of things that gets said to me. In my opinion jealousy creates this type of behavior.
    5. No, I do not. If hackers can get what your typing from a video camera in the reflection of your glasses, ask.fm shouldn't be a problem and if enough people cared about it, it would already be fixed.

  33. 1.) Well, I actally do think that the solutions may work. I mean parents should be informed on any inappropriate activity, such as bullying if it is going on. Ask.fm is a website for asking questions anonymously, but when these questions become too personal or embarrassing parents should be informed before bullying starts.Cyber bullying may not seem as complex as it is, but from reading these articles it's VERY serious and should be taken seriously.

    2.) Honestly, I haven't had this problem on Ask.fm nor have I seen it, but even websites such as Facebook and Twitter which aren't anonymous, has bullying almost everyday !?

    3.) I have not been bullied or witnessed bullying on this app, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

    4.) Well, some people who bully do it out of jealously or just because ! I have actually witnessed bullying done just because of simple things. I truly believe it's the parent's faults for kids that bully. Raise your children !

    5.) I do not believe that. Anything that gets put on the internet in some way stays there forever and unfortunately cannot be deleted. When you create your username or put any information about yourself (usually you do so friends know you) on websites it's basically permanent. I have been told this plenty of times.

  34. 1.) I think the questions proposed in the articles will work in some cases, but not all. Bullies can always find other ways to get to other people.
    2.)I've never been on Ask.fm but the bullying problems are on nearly every website and the only difference is how easy it is to bully.
    3.)No.

  35. 1.) Do you think the solutions proposed in each article (for addressing the problems plaguing Ask.fm) will work?
    Yes I do think they will work if they keep trying and don't stop until they stop all the bullies. But than again, they will probably not be able to stop every single bully unless their watching and monitoring the site every day.
    2.) What have been your personal experiences on Ask.fm?
    I don't have or want an ask.fm.
    3.)Have you ever been bullied or been witness to bullying on the app?
    I have never been bullied but I have seen it happen to other people on different social sites.
    4.) Why do you think some people act so horrible to others? Does anything justify this type of behavior?
    I've never really understood why people still even have the audacity to bully people, after all the suicides that have been happening because of it, and the bullies arnt stopping to think what could happen to the people they bully. Of course bulling is the kids fault but I also think its the parents fault too. Parents are having children and not raising them how they should be and not caring how they act or how they treat other people. I don't see how people just get pleasure out of making fun of someone.
    5.) Do you believe you are ever truly "anonymous" on the internet?
    No. There's always someone that can find out who you are

  36. 1. They are never going to stop bullying on ask.fm because people are mean and hateful.
    2. I don't really have problems with bullying.

  37. 1. The solutions might work. I don't think you can stop nobody for what they do at home. The people who made it should prohibit some things, to where people can not say vile things. Ask is a app that people can ask questions about anything,and can say anything. The people who get bullied could ignore the bullies.

    2. I do not have an Ask.fm so I dont have any experiences on it.

    3. No, I have not my friends have one but the people are not mean to them.

    4. I think people who act so mean to other people is that they can relieve some things off their self. If they are having any problems of their own do it to other people, some people may be just mean and do it for fun.

    5. No, because the people

  38. 1.)Do you think the solutions proposed in each article (for addressing the problems plaguing Ask.fm) will work?
    - No, I don't think it will work, because people can find ways to get around loops, and taking screenshots of it want work. If you report it too people over the site they look over and say its not there problem. If parents try to teach there child different things to avoid this and help the issue they want listen , they will continue , they ignore and they continue to bully there self.
    2.)What have been your personal experiences on Ask.fm?
    - My experiences on Ask.fm hasn't been bad as i hear other people. I have heard people can be mean and rude , but In my opinion even though people may find ways to get around loops the people over the site should provide better private setting even though i do not read the policy i just push except.
    3.)Have you ever been bullied or been witness to bullying on the app? better safety

    2.I don't have and Ask.fm and I really don't want one.
    3.I never have been bullied but I seen others been bullied before on social sites.
    4.I mean this is not and excuse but I think people bully because of problems that are going on in their life and bullies want others to feel how they feel. Yes I think something justify this behavior.
    5.No,because people can always find out who you are on social sites so I say no.

  42. 1.)Do you think the solutions proposed in each article (for addressing the problems plaguing Ask.fm) will work?
    I think some of the solutions could help with Ask.fm's problem. The parents play a big role in the solution. The childs parents need to encourage them to do what is right and to ignore the bully. On the second article the author suggests that parents or adults get on there and ask random questions to the kids. If I saw the question, "How should I manage my 401(K)?" I would be hestitant to answer and (if the random questions continue)would eventually quit ask.fm.

    2.)What have been your personal experiences on Ask.fm?
    I do not have an ask.fm so I do not have any experiences on it.

    3.)Have you ever been bullied or been witness to bullying on the app?
    No, I don't have any social apps.

    4.)Why do you think some people act so horrible to others? Does anything justify this type of behavior?
    Some people get a thrill out of seeing others in pain. Some are just bored and have nothing better to do. Some of this can come from depression or from a bad home enviroment. The bully just wants to boost their self esteem and to make others feel small.

    5.)Do you believe you are ever truly "anonymous" on the internet?
    I do not beleive you can ever be truly anonymous on the internet. Some how some way someone will find out who you are and what you are doing on the internet.

  43. 1.Do you think the solutions proposed in each article (for addressing the problems plaguing Ask.fm) will work?
    I truly think that the solutions given can work only if the parents don't get to involved but to get on their to protect their children. Also the student must recognize a problem when they see it.
    2. What have been your personal experiences on Ask.fm?
    I haven't had any personal experiences on Ask.fm because I do not have an account.
    3. Have you ever been bullied or been witness to bullying on the app?
    Unfortunately I have seen bullying being done everyday on social webpages or apps.
    4. Why do you think some people act so horrible to others? Does anything justify this type of behavior?
    I think that when a bully bullys someone else is because their also being bullied. Another reason is because their having problems at home with parents or family. They do these things to build up their self-esteem.
    5.Do you believe you are ever truly "anonymous" on the internet?
    Do I think there is ever an anonymous. No i dont think there is. Someone can always see what you post or send to others or blog.

    2.)Ive never been on this site.
    3.)No.
    4.)I think that bullies act horrible to others because they have a bad life themselves and to humiliate others doesn't make them feel so lonely.
    5.)No, someone can always find a way to know who you are. People can see what your posting or blogging using fake accounts.

  46. *continued* 4. Nothing justifies their behavior! They are mean and want attention.
    5. You are never truly anonymous on the internet because, the people have ways of figuring it out, like hackers could find out anything they wanted to know about some one or something online.

  48. I don't think the solutions the people are trying to put on the app. I have seen personally the cyber bullying that goes on in the app. It isn't very nice at all. I have seen bullying on the app. people put stuff on there that they would not say to your face. I think the reason people put what they do on there is because it is anonymous. There really isn't anything you can do to justify that. I don't think that people are ever really truly anonymous on the internet.

  49. 1)no i don't think changing settings or hiring 24 hour staff will help these websites should be shut down and not allow people anonymous in the least.
    2)iv'e had no experience of bullying on ask.fm but iv'e seen terrible things on face book like discriminating posts and offensive comments.
    3)i have never personally been bullied on a social media site but i have seen it happen to other people first hand.
    4)my opinion on the subject of bullying is that people take out there own emotion on innocent people,often as a result of their own abuse or bullying which does not justify it at all.
    5)i don't think there's such a thing as being anonymous with 'big brother' watching you with the progression of technology it will be near impossible to be identified.

    3.No
    4.I think bullies act horrible just to be cool and get attention.
    5.People are going to find out who you are by other people or whatever you put on facebook,twitter,or instagram.

  52. 1. I feel that we will never be ride of cyber-bullying, we may be able to prevent a few cases of it, but it will never be ride of. Why? Because some people might be too scared to stand up for each other, or some people might use someones bullying to fit in with the bullying group, or they might think it's funny and they encourage others to bully someone, just to give everyone a laugh. But at what cost? Do people care as long as it's not them? You will rarely ever find someone who will answer these questions with a "yes," because people don't care as long as it's not them or those close to them! So, we all need to hear the unheard, we all need to help the victims and give them a hand, reach out a hand and pick them up when they need help, speak or help them speak when they want to be heard, as they would be for you!

  53. 1. I think that the solutions proposed can only work if the parents encourage their kids to not to ignore bullying and to not bully other people.
    2. I havent had any personal experiences on Ask.fm mainly because i dont have an account.
    3. No i havent not ever been bullied or been a witness to bullying on the app.
    4. I think that the only reason people bully other people id because they are unhappy with their own lives and they are having problems at home and with their family.
    5. I think that someone can always see what you post or the messages you send to people. Someone will always find out what you are doing.

  54. 1.No i don't think it'll work it might help a little but it won't stop all of the bullying.
    2.I don't have an ask.fm.
    3.No i don't have one.
    4.I don't know why why people do it on ask.fm cause they know you don't know who they are and can't see how they react. I don't know about other people but the only reason i would "bully" someone is if i didn't like them or if the way they reacted was hostile and funny but i would do it in person not on ask.fm.
    5.No you are never anonymous on line somebody knows even if its not the person your talking to.

  55. I think it could slow it down but its a hard problem to solve!
    2)I have yet to try Ask.fm.
    3)No, but right yesterday I seen a kid get bullied and he wasn't doing anything.
    4)Some say its cause they get bullied but you know what it feels like why would put someone in the shoes! However, cause they mad at themself.
    5)In ways but sooner or later someone will find out guess who you are!

  58. 1.) I think that their solution to the problem that they face is reasonable. I think that it is a good idea that if a child sees something inappropriate on the site should tell their parents.
    2.) I do not have a Ask.fm profile so I don't have any personel experiences on Ask.fm.
    3.) No

  60. Do you think the solutions proposed in each article (for addressing the problems plaguing Ask.fm) will work?
    I don't think they will ever fix these problems because kids and others will always be mean to pull others down.

    What have been your personal experiences on Ask.fm?
    I do not have an ask.fm because of the drama and bullying.

    Have you ever been bullied or been witness to bullying on the app?
    I have never been bullyed on ask but I have seen or heard of people being bullied on this app.

    Why do you think some people act so horrible to others? Does anything justify this type of behavior?
    I think people treat others badly because they think it's cool and it makes themselves feel better. Nothing will ever justify this because you never know how deep it could hurt this person.

    Do you believe you are ever truly "anonymous" on the internet?
    You are never anonymous on the internet someone can always see who it really is on the other side of the phone.
