Sometimes I notice a girl in agar, mainly due to their names - they use their real name more frequently and with the Care Bears that's often the skin they pick. ^^ I'd say I'd expect more girls to play, because it seems like a game orientated for them mainly (imo).

I'm in Canada, rather than the USA, but we're neighbours, and very close friends generally, so it's almost the same thing.

Thank you for telling us this!!!

To me, this means that WE CANchange the social norm of kids looking for ways to insult people, while trying to 'be cool', because in other places, this has already happened!

I can't speak for @DTricksplit, but I'll bet she will be overjoyed to hear that, and take it the same way that I am seeing it -- that this thing can be beaten!

Thanks again!

(And hey, I'm not sure I've seen you before, even though you say you're not new. Thanks for pitching in, and it's great that you're here!)

I'm from the USA, and I can't speak to the norm with bullying, I'm just a small town girl.  All I know is my heart breaks every time I hear of a teenager or kid taking their own lives because other people caused them so much pain, that suicide seemed like their best option.  These kids had a lot of life ahead of them, and families that will mourn their loss for the rest of their lives?  It's encouraging to see the good people take a stand and say, no, this is not ok.  I do know of some males that use the Care Bears.  I do agree that males and females play Agario, seems that either sex can get sucked into this addictive game.  I'm so happy to hear that you have taken a stand ArrowFeather, I'm proud of you for being a leader.

Huh? In the quote it looks like Arrowfeather wrote that but it's actually me. xD I think there went something wrong with the quoting. Talking about the sexes, today I noticed two girl names in agar and they were teaming and they did really well. ^^ I would've tried to join in if I wasn't so small.

As I already wrote to DTricksplit, there went something wrong with this quote. Look at the username. D: May I ask, why do you specifically tag DTricksplit? I hope nothing bad happened to her when talking about bullying.

If the last part of your post is meant towards me instead of Arrowfeather; yes, I believe you told me, but I enjoy being on a new forum.

I used to be active on different forums but things didn't go well and I lost my interest, mainly. My post records on those forums were respectively 12.262 and 9.950 posts! So who knows how many I could collect here.

Oh, I was mentioned in squirrels post because I have a YouTube channel (I posted on it in here) and I did a video about bullying, so squirrel wanted me to see this post

Well I got curious so I decided to start looking for this video and I found it pretty easily. It's a nice video, you only dance with winners and the bullies weren't winners. Even if they were in a group, they never got any better than the guy being bullied or basically anyone else. I think you analysed the problem very well by people getting along in this behaviour because of FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out. It's like: "oh, if I help the guy, they might bully me too!"

I'm not used to bullying... As I mentioned before I just had an angry look at them and it kept them away. I don't seem "weak" so they know I would've fought back. But I'm still terribly sorry to any victim of bullying!
