It's awesome it made your head keep up high! I think in The Netherlands there's less bullying than in the United States (I guess that's where you're from), it's actually not really a thing here. It happens but it will be fought. I just always threw an angry look at people who were looking to bully, seemingly it helped. In the first few classes it didn't get me any friends at all but that's fine. I feared the worst, just like agar, a small one hiding and looking out to be a big guy too one day.
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).

Thank you Arrowfeather, you welcome too.
I've been playing the game since quite a time now. What's your level? I'm almost at level 37 now.

Ouch, I believe it sucks when losing your whole account. I've connected mine to my Facebook, but my previous Facebook got deleted as they said my last name didn't sound real enough. >_> In fact, that was the case, but still. If that account would've been my agar.io account I would've lost mine too D:

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!)
Fight the Good Fight
(Listen with lyrics here!)
Make it worth the price we pay!
All your life you've been waiting for your chance,
Pray you'll fit into the Plan.
But you're the master of your own destiny,
So give and take the best that you can!

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.

Actually, yes. You're the 4th one (as far as I know and including me) and 2 haven't been on for quite some time.

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.

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!)
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!

I did the reference to her, because I knew that she'd be interested in your post, and that would have generated an Aler for her, which would have ensured that she'd read it.
Once you see the videos she's been making, I think you'll understand. (Hmm, maybe she's already told you).
I'm too short of breath to look at this properly right now. If there was a misquoting, so long as we clear it up... ~grin~
The other thing I wanted to say is... don't feel that you're in a post-race! Share what you can! Share what you have time for, and what you feel like... With enough people who do that, we'll never run out of things to talk about!

~smile~ I should have known that I didn't need to answer that!
And I also see you changed your avatar again!
That is one insanely beautiful eye. You realize that it is hardly going to incite the fear that a Panther's eye would, right?
Are you going soft on us?? The minions wish to know!

Yes, exactly. You get a pack of guys, who want to 'be cool' with each other. Because there's a pecking order within the group (likely), and everyone wants to be a part of the group (which is why they're present at all), they are often enticed by the situation to join in the bullying, without giving much thought to what they're doing.
This changes following that, sometimes, when they reflect on their actions, and are shocked at what they did.
So if you find that you (generally now, not you specifically, of course) have done something that shocked you... remember that you can CHOOSE to participate, or to not to.
If it truly is a band of guys worth being a part of... should you later breach the subject that what they did was not really very entertaining, you might be surprised at the support you get.
Either that, or you've learned something very important about the quality of the group of guys that you're hanging with....
Fight the Good Fight
(Listen with lyrics here!)
Make it worth the price we pay!
All your life you've been waiting for your chance,
Pray you'll fit into the Plan.
But you're the master of your own destiny,
So give and take the best that you can!
