So as some of you might know, a few people have been drawing attention to themselves purely for the sake of getting attention.
And hey, we've all been there. We've done something along the tines of "Pay attention to me! I am important!" in one way or another.

One of the more recent cases would be jolly old cinema. Just a disclaimer, I have no ill will towards jolly. I know a lot of people I associate with do, but I am not them and they are not me.
Apparently he was 'bullied' by Texas doughnut and Navarone. Not hard to believe. The two of them are known to stir up drama for the sake of getting a few LMAO XD's out of it all.
The bulling part isn't what I want to talk about. Cyberbullying is considerably different than real life bullying. In the fact that you can block your bullies and not have them be able to contact you, unless theyre very persistent.
He just could have handled it better. Making a journal about it was already fanning flames. Don't make a journal about people mistreating you, as they'll just find it and laugh at you or use it against you in another point in time.

Closing your DA account is also something you shouldn't do. If you wish to abandon your account and get a new moniker, by all means do so. But closing your DA account as a whole is an irreversible process that you will regret almost instantly after doing it.

The proper way to handle a situation like this would be to block the parties involved. You cant get stabbed with a steak knife when there's a slab of concrete between you two.
And alert DA staff about them. I've had to do this on a few occasions for friends. One of which has a stalker that occasionally goes on spamming sprees on his DA, responding to every comment saying "X person is crippled, they shit in a bag, that's terribly sexy" and, while service is slow, it does come.


While we're talking about attention getting, don't lie about drinking bleach. There are thousands of people that die from suicide alone, and that's nothing to make a fib over.
If you are feeling suicidal, please don't hesitate to call The National Suicide Hotline: 1 (800) 273-8255 or Samaritans if you're in the UK: 116 123

DON'T MAKE A JOURNAL ABOUT YOUR SUICIDE ATTEMPT. IF YOU DO ATTEMPT SUICIDE, CALL YOUR COUNTRY'S RESPECTIVE HOTLINE FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION. EVERY LIFE MATTERS, NO MATTER WHAT.

DON'T MAKE ART FOR SOMEONE THAT'S RECENTLY "ATTEMPTED" SUICIDE. THIS IS BAD BEHAVIOR AND IT REWARDS THEM FOR ATTEMPTING TO KILL THEMSELVES.
