Stop Bullying!

Hello again,

Welcome to my second important blog post. I like making these blog posts to help everyone, and this post I'm hoping will help a lot of people that are bullied including ones that aren't bullied. This is going to be a long post since its a very important blog post. There's a lot to cover in this blog post so I hope all of you stay and read through all of this blog post. I'm going to start with Cyber bullying which counts for Wizard, Pirates, and social networks. I'll end with bullying offline with tips to help someone being bullied.

Cyberbullying

Cyber bullying... Cyber bullying takes place on the internet. I have to mention Facebook making this post because I've noticed that so many people get bullied on Facebook. I'm not making this up because I've seen it on my own Facebook Wizard homepage. I can't believe the things I have seen, from name calling to worse. If you're talking about someone on Facebook or any other social network site this is not making you look cool or awesome.. Its making you look like you're not a good friend. Please don't make yourself look like this and STOP cyberbullying. The person you are bullying is just like you, a human being, and doesn't deserve any of it, no one does. Please don't make anyone feel like they aren't good enough because the truth is, they are good enough. If you're not the bully and you see someone bullying another person online, please tell the bully to stop and if they don't talk to the person being bullied and have the bully reported. This brings up Pirate101 and Wizard101, if you're being bullied, click on that report option and ignore. Kingsisle put the report and ignore option there for a reason and its nice to use it if you're being bullied. I LOVE the option to ignore someone on Pirate101 or Wizard101, I've used it many times. To tell all of you the truth I was once bullied on the game, it took me a long time to figure out the report and ignore option and when I found out how to, it was like defeating Morganthe and Deacon at the same time! I didn't have to hear what they had to say about me anymore. This brings me to bullying offline where sometimes its worse..

Bullying 

This is very sad to even talk about, I've tried adding things above to make it a little less depressing but bullying really is depressing. Why would anyone treat anyone like they are nothing? I can't solve the world's problems by making this blog post but I do know I might be able to help anyone that's reading. Bullying offline, well... now days, most of the time, it includes cyberbullying. People use cell phones to take video or talk about people, use Facebook, Twitter, every single social network on the internet. They bully others by the things they do, the way they look, act, dress, and by sexual orientation. This is not right at all. No one deserves to made fun of by any of the things mentioned above or anything else. I can't believe the things I see. Now, if you're bullying someone how would you feel if someone was bullying you, you would have to switch it around and let them bully you everyday (or every time) you bully. It wouldn't be funny anymore. I don't care how a person looks, acts, dresses, or if they prefer both genders or both. Everyone is special in their own way and when someone bullies them they don't get to show it. Don't call them names because they aren't the way you want them to be. They are their own person, they aren't you and no one on this planet will be the exact way you want them to be. Everyone is different in their own way but we are still all the same. I'll bring up something that I want to bring up with this blog post.. Sexual Orientation. I've noticed that so many people now days judge and bully if someone is attracted to a different gender. I've also noticed most of the times someone calls that person names. Now come on, you shouldn't call anyone names just because they prefer both or the opposite gender. This is like calling me a name because you prefer cookie dough ice cream and I prefer vanilla. I mean seriously, STOP calling someone a name and judging because they aren't like you. They are perfect the way they are and so are you. Not everyone is going to agree on one thing, that's the way life is. Another thing I don't want to mention but I have to... Suicide, this is something serious. No one deserves to die, I know we all will one day but someone killing themselves because of a bullies words, that's truly disgusting. I don't like hearing about it but it always happens, and I pray to God that it will stop one day. Bullying can result in self harm and this is not something that needs to happen. If you're self harming yourself, please get help. There are so many people out there in the world that CAN help you, let them help you. You don't deserve this and I want you all to have a great life. Bullies are terrible, but that doesn't mean they're right about what they say to you. This only thing the bully proves is that you should feel bad for them because they are bullying you in the first place. Now.. Here's my advice to you.

My Advice to anyone that's bullied:

  • You are perfect the way you are, there's no need to change or feel bad about yourself. You don't need someone bullying you because you're not just like them. You are yourself and you should show how perfect you really are. If you're being bullied in school contact a teacher for help! I know this might not seem like something you want to do but its the best thing to do. This is a way to stop them from hurting you every single day. No one on this planet deserves to be bullied by anyone.
  • If you see someone being bullied make sure to help the person being bullied, and then tell a teacher. Don't stand by and let them be bullied. Don't walk away and act like you haven't see anything. This person doesn't want to be bullied, you should try to put yourself in their shoes.
  • IF you're a bully, please stop. You have no idea how much damage you're doing to the person you're bullying and yourself. You're hurting them everyday because they aren't like you, no one not even you deserves to be bullied. Put yourself in their shoes, would you like to be bullied? Most likely you don't want to be bullied. We are all different and the same at the same time. We have the same feelings, no one wants to be bullied. We're all different, not everyone likes the same thing. If you don't agree with this post, you may need to read it again, again and again. 

Well, since this has been the longest post I've ever made on this blog, you should see that its a very important one. I know I mean every single word though, this bullying needs to STOP. Not everyone in the world will read this post, but you will. Maybe you can follow this post, and tell someone else, and they tell someone else. You could also keep it to yourself and remember this post. I hope all of you have made it through this very long post, well two blog posts. I really have been wanting to make this post since last week/ since I started blogging. Thank you all for reading and if you have read all the way through, please comment below with your advice to anyone that's being bullied. If they read your comments maybe they'll follow this post :)

Online Safety Post (May 2013)

Hi there,

Welcome to my 100th blog post of the year! I was trying to think of something important to write about the past few days for my 100th blog post and I decided that I should write about Online Safety.  I hope you stay to read this important post. I also hope that this helps someone reading because I don't want anything bad to happen to anyone and I want all of you to stay safe online. Please read this post or share this post with anyone you think should read my online safety tips and I hope all of you read through all of this blog post. I'm also making a bullying blog post, a link will be provided below this blog post.

Online Safety 

  • Wizard101 And Pirate101- Both of these games are very nice games, but even for the best games in the world, you'll still need online safety. Its not hard to stay safe online, you should know that you shouldn't give away your personal information such as where you live (State, town, address), credit card information, phone numbers, your name to a stranger. The things mentioned are meant to stay personal, please don't give away any of your information. If you would like to keep your Pirate101 and Wizard101 accounts, NEVER give away your password and username. If a wizard or pirate says they are going to give you crowns and a membership in return of your account information, its not true. They want to keep your account for themselves and when its all said and over, you'll end up losing your account. Kingsisle warns everyone before they log on not to give away their information, please take their advice and keep your account and continue to have fun on the game(s). 
  • Social Networks- If you're younger than 13 please ask your parents for permission if you can enter a social network site before you sign up for one. Its very important that your parents know that you are on a social network, even if you don't want your parents to know everything its very important that they do know you're on a social network. Now for personal information, just as I said above do not give away any personal information such as your address or phone number. I know on Facebook they give you an option for a town/state and phone number but if you don't want it out there on the internet you shouldn't even put it on Facebook. Twitter is different, they don't ask you for your number, and I don't think you should post your phone number or where you live. 
This is only 1/2 of the post I was planning on making. I'm also making a bullying blog post which will also be Pirate101, Wizard101 related. I'm also going to add bullying in real life. I really hope you do read this next blog post. I really do like making these posts because someone who needs online safety tips may be reading. I hope all of you are ready for a very long post, the bullying post will be way longer than this post. When the bullying post is published you can click on the image below for a direct link. Thanks for reading this blog post!

Edward continues to side quest through Monquista!

Ahoy Pirates!

I hope yer day is going well, mine certainly is :) I had a chance to quest again today through all of the Skull Island side quests and now I'm in Monquista finishing up side quests. As I said yesterday sometimes its important or good to finish up those side quests. I have received many companion training points and gold from all of my side quests so far. Just about all of my companions are caught up to my level! I leveled through this area on my witchdoctor Edward, I had no idea there were so many quests with companion training points and nautical experience because I sailed right by most of the side quests. This time I'll know to get most or even all side quests through future worlds/characters! Here's my Monquista side questing pictures.
Luis doing an epic attack on a Batacuda side quest!
This should be an easy quest! :)
Experience, Gold and two companion training points!

I've quested a lot more than this through this world, but I only wanted to blog about this quest to show ye that there are great quests out there in the skyways that can level yer pirate or give nice experience. I'm very glad I decided to start on side quests before blogging about my adventures to Valencia. Watch for my next Edward Cringle post since I will be blogging about my adventure and in Valencia. See ye around the Spiral!
