sdmom wrote:What has she done recently to publicly raise or promote awareness for anti cyber bullying? Has she faved or retweeted anything related? This is an honest question as I don't follow her.

ETA: so I decided to check her twitter. Here's what I found, a week ago:

‏@iviesheacooper

@kaitlynbristowe your arm is so skinny it's scary

K's response? According to her own words, either ignore or ask "why", but her action in real life is to respond:
Kaitlyn Bristowe ‏@kaitlynbristowe Nov 5

What drives you to insult someone you don't know? What if I said your arm is super fat? It's offensive. Shame on you

???? When your actions contradicts your own words, what does it mean????

You don't have to be perfect 100% of the time to talk about cyber-bullying. I honestly think that Kaitlyn's come backs have been completely fine. People think that they can get away with saying the most awful things as they sit anonymously behind their computer, but expect Kaitlyn to just take it. In this example, she didn't call the person fat. She's just drawing a parallel to show that skinny-shaming is just as cruel as fat-shaming. To me, that is basically asking "why". JMO.

This. Just because you are behind a computer doesn't mean you are entitled to say whatever and get away with it. If you dish it out, be ready to receive.  People are so entitled these days and are so mean. I watch those Jimmy Kimmel  celebrity mean tweets and boy, are pple vile. People get to have all these opinions about pple they hardly know and that person is supposed to just sit and take it. The high incidence of these famous and almost famous individuals committing suicide should teach people to think before you hit send. These are humans too. Why anyone will feel so strongly about another they barely know is interesting in on its own.
