When is the right time to kill yourself from bullying and cyberbullying?
There is never a right time to kill yourself from any kind of bullying. You must stand up against the bully and keep reporting them to the authorities where it is happening. You are better than any bully, you just need to accept this for yourself. Bullies have problems in their lives that cause them to behave the way they are. They may be being bullied themselves or having an abusive upbringing. There are many reasons for it. They need help and support, just as much as you do as the victim. Just make sure you tell others about what they are doing and never accept what the bully tells you. If you report what is happening then it will stop. Sometimes you just need to keep reporting it before people take better notice. Good luck with this and have a happy life once this awful phase has been sorted.

It is always a tragedy when anyone commits suicide. Bullying feels very painful to the person being bullied. They may feel like a prisoner to the pain the bully puts them through day after day and it hurts very much. The pain they feel seems like it will never end, so they may take drastic measures. Later in life the bully may realize the weight of those actions and suffer as well.

Are emo people killing people?
I really don't think that's true but the answer really is no.NOT at all no that's an outrage. I would agree, Emos don't kill other people, i don't remember ever killing anyone. Others might say "well if they are not killing others then they are killing themselves" and i would disagree with that, because they are not trying to kill themselves, they only cut themselves because of their emotional pain and people are totally not helping when they start bullying them which might cause then to commit suicide.
