by tommy
Last post
 Thursday
...See more How do I report an inappropriate profile? Please note: this is only when you notice a profile with an inappropriate username, profile picture or bio. For reports or sharing concerns on a users conduct or behaviour in PMs, chatrooms or forums, please utilise the help desk [https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/requests/new].  When would I need to report an inappropriate profile? • All profiles must abide by the community guidelines [https://www.7cups.com/community-guidelines/]. The safety patrol team are on hand to deal with any profiles which need to be rectified. • If you notice a profile picture is inappropriate (e.g. shirtless/sexual/graphic/triggering). • If you notice a profile's username is graphic, sexual, offensive or otherwise inappropriate. • If you notice a profile's bio is unprofessional, graphic/triggering, sharing personal information or otherwise inappropriate.  If you are unsure about whether or not a profile is inappropriate, it is best to pass it over to a Safety Patrol member for them to review and check its appropriateness. Please note: the safety patrol team member will make an independent judgement and take appropriate action. If you feel the profile has not been effectively handled, you are free to reach out to a team leader (@tommy [http://www.7cups.com/@tommy] or @Rebekah [http://www.7cups.com/@tommy]).  How do I report an inappropriate profile? • Visit the Teen Listeners [https://www.7cups.com/chat/?c=k2VowHPgmMxSy5k%21](Teens) or Listener Support Room [https://www.7cups.com/chat/?c=k2dmeXmbkuJO42uXh1iY] (Adults) and ask for a member of Safety Patrol (commonly referred to as SP). Members, you may request support from someone within the Teen Community Room [https://www.7cups.com/chat/?c=lWpldX2VmJydlLBuV1fGxg%21%21] (Teens) or Member Community Room [https://www.7cups.com/chat/?c=mGNkenecl-JO45ebV1nF] (Adults). Please do not share the username you are concerned about in the group chat room, instead PM the safety patroller once they have identified themselves to you.  • Find an active safety patroller by visiting this link [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/?badge=405] (please note that this is only a list of listener trained safety patrollers and does not include member SPs), you can then directly PM them and make them aware of the profile.  • Contact an online ambassador [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/?badge=70] or the on duty community moderator (the community moderator can be found in the group chat rooms or find their schedule here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/CommunityModeratorsLounge_2143/CommunityModSchedule_318786/]) • Complete the non-safety patrol report form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeGECC4E9NeQzQp2Skspwu6VQBJfMYB2Ag-Btm93DN5w0vh8A/viewform] (this takes a little longer for us to action so preference goes to one of the above options if possible).  I received a message or email from 7 Cups telling me my profile is inappropriate. Can you help? We can definitely support you with correcting your profile so that it abides by the community guidelines!

Bullying: How to take actions (as a neutral party)

...See more *NOTE: THIS POST WAS WRITTEN WITH THE FOCUS ON BULLYING THAT TAKES PLACE IN 7 CUPS, FOR OTHER BULLYING STRUGGLES FEEL FREE TO CONNECT HERE [https://www.7cups.com/forum/BullyingSupportCommunity_113/]* Hi there community! So the past weeks bullying has made it to be a very popular topic and I would like to take some time to talk about it too. First, watch this [https://youtu.be/UYxpX3N20qU]. Did you watch it? Okay, let's move on. Bullying is a very important topic to me, I do everything I can to make every teen on this site feel safe and to know they can reach out to me any time. But the thing is, bullying isn't just an admin problem. Bullying is everyones problem. You, as a part of our supportive community, have the responsibility of making 7 cups a safe place to engage in. I notice that sometimes users don't know how to react towards bullying so Im writing you all some ideas and tips. How do I know bullying is going on? First things first, to prevent bullying from happening we need to be inform on what bullying is. If you havent, I invite you to read through our Bullying Guide here [http://www.7cups.com/bullying/]. Bullying means any behavior that is unwanted and unwelcome, has a negative impact on the recipient or on bystanders, and is unwarranted.[1 [http://www.7cups.com/bullying/lesson1.html]] Harassment refers to pattern of repeated offensive behavior that appears to a reasonable observer to intentionally target a specific person or persons. [2 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Harassment]] Knowing the definition doesn't mean you will always be able to identify bullying at first glance; but it gives you a greater understanding on what things to look out for. During a conflict, any comment made can feel like a personal attack. They not always are. When you feel someone is being hurtful towards you, it's best to take a step back and evaluate what happened with a calm mind. Some easy red flags to identify: ✔Teasing ✔Inappropriate jokes about someone else ✔Antagonising someone in the chat rooms, or while talking in PMs with others ✔Singling them out in public spaces Some questions you can ask yourself are: ⌧Is this behavior a one time thing or has happened in repeated occasions? ⌧How did I felt when he said that hurtful comment? ⌧Has something else happened today, this week that makes me specially sensitive to that topic? ⌧What was the emotional state of the person that made the comment? (were they angry, frustrated, sad?) ⌧Can I solve this situation by talking to them directly? ⌧Do I feel safe in 7 cups? If you feel that you might be feeling bullied, check this thread [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TeensOnlyClub_123/IarasStation_590/BullyingHowtoknowandhandleguideSelfFocus_57761/1/] on what to do. How do I help end bullying on 7 Cups? → Dont become the bullys bully: With the best intentions of protecting someone, we go into the fight fire with fire. Dont, it's not an effective way to stop this problem as it create more hate and spreads negativity. → Dont join into the teasing: Be self-aware of your actions and their consequences. If an user says they feel uncomfortable with something you said or did, respect their boundaries. → Dont stay quiet on what you see: If you see someone being mean to another user/users in the rooms, the forums or anywhere on 7 cups, report them. → Dont spread rumors or gossip about bullies or the people they are bullying → Dont triangulate [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerCommunityampSiteUpdates_38/LaurasOffice_169/WhatisTriangulation3StepstoAvoidingStoppingitfromhappeninginthecommunity_35107/1/]: As an outsider/by stander, you might feel very inclined to solve the problem. Dont take the power away from the person being bullied to stand up for themselves. → Dont invalidate either parties feelings → Dont file reports on behalf of others or of events you did not see first hand → Dont bring past reports or behaving against someone when they are trying to move forward and do better → Dont assume someone is being a bully → Dont pick sides: There can be a lot of perspectives to what happened, and it can quickly turn into a he said, she said situation → Do support someone that is feeling bullied → Do try to diffuse the tension in a chatroom by changing the topic → Do forgive users for bad behavior when you can → Do show kindness and compassion in the support rooms, forums and everyone else on the site → Do listen to those that feel bullied and validate their feelings → Do guide those that are being bullied or have seen bullying take place to the appropriate ways of reporting → Do reach out to a mentor, teen star, group support leader, a community manager or myself if you see bullying take place → Do remain neutral when someone tries to bring you into the conflict and encourage them to use conflict resolution → Do disengage when you feel triggered or personally invested in a situation → Do practice self care and encourage others that are feeling triggered to practice it too. → Do be welcoming, compassionate and supportive towards everyone in the community → Do educate others on how to approach bullying Other resources to look at: Help Guide on how to deal with Bullying [https://www.helpguide.org/articles/abuse/dealing-with-bullying.htm] How to Respond to Bullying [https://www.stopbullying.gov/respond/index.html] Things not to say to someone that is being bullied [https://www.bustle.com/articles/116010-6-things-not-to-say-to-someone-whos-being-bullied] How to help someone that is being bullied (teen perspective) [http://kidshealth.org/en/teens/expert-bullying.html] How to help someone that is being bullied (parents perspective) [http://www.skillsyouneed.com/parent/help-someone-cope-with-bullying.html]

[https://www.7cups.com/forum/safe7cups/IVSafetyResourcesEvents_1059/AntibullyingAwarenessMonthTaketheQuiz_317363/] Asking for help is often seen as a sign of vulnerability or weakness, leading many individuals to hesitate before seeking assistance. The fear of judgment, rejection, or burdening others can make it intimidating to reach out for support. Additionally, self-reliance and the desire to maintain independence can hinder individuals from seeking the help they need.  So, today I want us to simply participate to complete this prompt.   Prompt: It can be intimidating to ask for help because.... -------------------------

For All Victims of Bullying ❤

 November 28th, 2023
...See more Bullying is aggressive hurtful behaviour against someone, involving a complete imbalance of power. It is terrifying. It makes victims crumble, and cry and collapse. Its even debilitating. Its completely despicable, and no one deserves it. Not a single person. It kills nearly 13 million kids each year. It is serious. How to identify bullying? ✑ It is when someone or a group of people TARGET you and make you feel bad about yourself or hurt. ✑ It is NOT just physical. ✑ Other types of bullying: ◊ Verbal bullying such as name-calling and homophobic remarks ◊ Psychological/Covet bullying such as rumour spreading, social aggression and unkind mimicry ◊ Cyber bullying such as imitating someone online/deliberate mocking texts etc. ✑ ANYONE can bully, and ANYONE can be bullied. ✑ "The bully is bigger" is a myth. Physical size is inconsequential when it comes to bullying. ANYONE can bully, its highly psychological and the bully doesnt need to be physically intimidating/bigger 10 Things to Remember When Youre Being Bullied ➊ REGAIN CONTROL, by recognising that you ARE being bullied. ➋ BREAK THE SILENCE. Dont lock it all up, talk about it with someone, let people know youre being bullied. Bullies thrive off control~ take that away. ➌ DONT ISOLATE yourself, as much as you want to and even if its the natural response of most. Surround yourself with your friends, people you trust, people whove got your back. ➍ DONT REACT OR RETALIATE. This is important, bullies do their thang to get a reaction, to see you rise to the occasion, and thrive off the power. Dont show that they're affecting you. ➎ GET HELP. You dont have to do it alone, tell an adult~ Its not tattling. Its telling, its standing up for yourself. If not someone you know, then a helpline (hotline 1 [http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/GetHelp/LifelineChat.aspx] / hotline 2 [http://www.121help.me/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=31&Itemid=104]) However strong you are as a person, you are not immune to mental health issues. Excessive stress and pent up anger from bullying can lead to depression etc. So, there is NOTHING wrong with seeking help. ➏ LET IT GO. Bottling up anger, frustration and guilt will come back to bite you in the long run. Scream out your lungs, Punch a pillow, throw your stuff around (err safely.) or tear up some paper. Whichever way works for you <3 ➐ Find some ZEN ~ write, draw, sing or talk to the birds (err, I mean walk into the forest and chill. But go right ahead if youre Snow White xD) ➑ DOCUMENT everything. Make a log of all bullying activity, where, when why… 5W1H it ;) It will come in handy later. ➒ Understand that allegations, accusations and insults do not reflect who you are. If anything, they reflect the bullys own misgivings and insecurities. YOU ARE NOT WHO THEY SAY YOU ARE. ➓ Remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE. It is a common, and widespread problem. Millions like you are suffering under it. You dont deserve this. No one does. If your friend/loved one is being bullied ☂ BREAK THE SILENCE ~ ask how theyre doing with the bullying, give them a space to talk. ☂ RESPECT THEIR SPACE. Understand that they might not want to talk about it sometimes. ☂ Accompany your friend as they travel, if you can. Stick with them, show them they are not alone. ☂ Remind them they do not deserve it and it is nothing to be ashamed of. ☂ TELL THEM THEY ARE AWESOME AND WORTH IT. Counter the bullys words with your own <3 If you have been bullied, share with us how you got through it ❤ If youre being bullied, how do you cope with it? ❤ If your friend is being bullied, how do you help? ❤ Remember, you are not alone, and we are always here for you. ❤ This week is Anti-Bullying Week, and 7cups has many coolio activities for it.

When are they angry with you and when are they just angry in general?
by DaveMcGrath
Last post
 November 14th, 2023
...See more That's a big question isn't it? We've all had those moments in a chat when the member gets angry, very angry. I'm human, believe it or not, my first impulse is flee. Being a human, believe it or not, I'm equipped with a rational mind that allows me to override these biological imperatives to protect myself from hostility. It's a survival mechanism that allowed our ancestors to survive in an an environment best described as challenging. Flight or fight.. Now we can't strip down to our boxers and offer to go three rounds with the member under the Queen of Marquess rules of boxing. That simply won't do as it is yet another biological imperative that we have to use our rational minds to override. We all have our methods of overriding this fear or triggered anger response. For some they work very well, for others like me, it's a perpetual work in progress. I personally enjoy being a work in progress, it makes me the most colorful person in the room at times. :| My method of overriding some of my strongest biological urges in the face of anger is to delay. What we do is text based, quite often we can take a few moments to consider our response. I then try to decide if they are angry with me or they are really just venting their anger at me. People come to this site for a variety of reasons, you better believe that some of them come here due to being quite angry about an event or series of events in their real life. In short.. my personal go to is a two step process. 1) delay for a short moment to take a nice long deep breath and maybe a drink of water. 2) ask myself if they are angry with me or something else. If they are angry with something or someone else, I can help them. If they are angry with me, I find that a bit trickier. Trickier, but not always impossible to turn into a decent back and forth conversation about what is going on with the member.. Above all, remember that there is a Listerner Support Room with Chat Support for you if you need help. There is also a listener hangout room where you can find chat support as well. Peer Support can also be helpful if you need to vent about some of these conversations. In conclusion, what have you found that works for you? Everyone has their own little tricks of the trade, share some or one of them if you feel so inclined.
Anti-bullying Awareness Month: Importance of Empathy and Support
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 November 10th, 2023
...See more Hello everyone, I hope you are taking it easy on yourself.  Last week we discussed: Anti-bullying Awareness Month: Understanding Bullying [https://www.7cups.com/forum/safe7cups/IVSafetyResourcesEvents_1059/AntibullyingAwarenessMonthUnderstandingBullying_316433/]. I appreciate everyone to coming together and sharing your thoughts to discuss this topic.  I wanted to take a moment to talk about the next topic that is incredibly important to discuss: the significance of empathy and support towards those who experienced bullying. It is a pervasive issue that affects individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. It can cause severe emotional distress, leading to long-lasting consequences for the people involved. As a community, it is our responsibility to stand up against bullying and to provide support and understanding to those who have experienced it. When it comes to bullying, it is easy to overlook the impact it has on the victims. Being subjected to constant harassment, ridicule, and exclusion can lead to feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, and challenging thoughts. It takes a toll on their self-esteem, confidence, and overall quality of life.  Empathy is the key to breaking this cycle of abuse and creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. It allows us to connect with others on a deeper level, to understand their pain, and to offer a helping hand. When we acknowledge their experiences and validate their emotions, it offers a comfortable and safe space for them to open up.  It is also crucial to address the root causes of bullying. Often, bullies themselves have experienced trauma or difficult circumstances that have influenced their behavior. By showing empathy towards them as well, we can break the cycle of aggression and promote healing and growth for all parties involved. Understanding bullying is another key element in the fight against bullying. It is also crucial to educate ourselves and others about the various forms of bullying and its consequences. By understanding the different types of bullying, such as verbal, physical, cyber, and relational, we can better recognize and address these behaviors when we encounter them as well as help others when we notice someone experiencing it too. Education is an essential tool to be informed and equipped to combat bullying.  When we extend empathy and understanding, we create a safe space for them to express themselves without fear of judgment or ridicule. Compassionate support can make a world of difference in their healing process. Sometimes, all it takes is a kind word, a listening ear, or a simple act of compassion to let someone know they are not alone. Now, I would love to hear your thoughts on this. * How have you personally shown empathy and understanding towards those who experienced bullying? * What initiatives we can start to successfully promote empathy? Let's share our experiences and ideas to create a more empathetic and understanding community to combat bullying.  * Also, join group chats [https://www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php] and discuss bullying as part of your experiences or in general with everyone this month. And when you do it, let us know in this post!  -------------------------
Anti-bullying Awareness Month: Understanding Bullying
by ASilentObserver

 November 6th, 2023
...See more Hello everyone, I hope you are taking it easy on yourself. November is Anti-Bullying Awareness Month and I wanted to bring it up as it affects many individuals, especially teens. Bullying can have a significant impact on a person's mental and emotional well-being, and it is essential that we all work together to understand and stand for it. As you all may know, bullying comes in various forms, such as physical, verbal, relational, and cyberbullying. It can happen at school, in the workplace, or even online. Please know that no one deserves to be treated poorly or made to feel inferior. It is our responsibility to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. Understanding bullying is the first step towards combating it effectively. Many people mistakenly believe that bullying is just a part of growing up or that it toughens individuals. But, bullying can cause lasting psychological damage and have severe consequences for those who experience it. To understand the impact of bullying, take a moment and put ourselves in the shoes of those who have experienced it. Imagine feeling constantly anxious and fearful, dreading going to school, working every day, or reaching out online to share and get support. Visualize the emotional distress of being ridiculed, invalidated, or excluded simply for being unique and different. Such experiences can lead to low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. Bullying is not a problem that can be overcome overnight but we can take our small steps to make progress by raising awareness and fostering empathy. It is important to educate ourselves and others about the signs of bullying and to recognize and intervene when we witness it. With everyone’s efforts, we can promote kindness, respect, and acceptance, we can create an environment where bullying has no place to exist. * So, I would like to open up the discussion to all of you. Have you ever witnessed or experienced bullying? How did it make you feel, and how did you handle it? * Also, join group chats [https://www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php] and discuss bullying as part of your experiences or in general with everyone this month. And when you do it, let us know in this post!  Please feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions. Also, feel free to tag your friends. Let’s make a difference and create a world where bullying has no place. -------------------------

...See more I was in a chat with this listener for over 2 hours. He claimed to be a psychologist donating his time for free. I didn't have evidence to prove otherwise. While we went through a series of exercises, I realized I had been talking for 2 hours and I had to leave. When I told him so, he asked for my email. I told him I did not feel comfortable sharing my contact information and then he started becoming irate telling me to " get lost" and "you're the reason why we never donate our time." I am so taken aback by this. Has anyone had this issue in the past? (Title of post edited by @CheeryMango to remove mention of listener name- 10/18/2022)
