This petition supports the following:

1. We want this website closed down. It gives cyberbullies a platform, as it allows them to post hurtful comments and remain anonymous.

2. At the very least, we need to permanently disable the ability to remain anonymous on this site, as this is the aspect which is causing the most damage.

3. The government also needs to bring in new regulations/legislation/restrictions that will keep people, and young people in particular, safe on the Internet.

4. We need watertight procedures making social networking sites accountable for revealing the identities of trolls and cyberbullies to the authorities, so cyberbullying can easily be stopped in its tracks.

5. We want police forces to make a firm commitment to treat bullying seriously.

6. We need an increase in education programmes for schools and community groups so that we can teach the power of love and kindness.

7. We need an increase in support programmes for both victims and bullies. 

8. We need the government to provide/increase funding for research on issues such as bullying, cyberbullying and teen suicide.

9. We need increased parental awareness, responsibility and support on the subject of bullying and the use of the Internet by children.

10. We need the government to help us put pressure on the large search engines to include suicide search terms in the list of search terms that come back with a clean return, instead offering help and advice information for the searcher.

11. We need individuals from all walks of life to embrace love, kindness, compassion, empathy and respect. Bullying the bullies is not a solution – it will only make the problem worse and perpetuate the cycle – teaching the value of love is the most effective long-term solution.
