I just want to say that I started using Witty, and thought it was a fun site for people to express themselves.

I made the mistake of
posting some poetry on here, and sadly some of my poetry ended up being copied by people...

Witty is sadly no place for real writers
or people who write original quotes...It is no place to try to be individual

There are very young kids on here (in fact, I believe that's Witty's target audience)...who do not know how to be respectful or think for themselves

If you are a true writer, I would advise not using Witty as your outlet....things here are not protected. People here probably pass quotes around and share accounts ( it is a truly unstable environment)

I should have been more careful about what I posted...I have been bullied, mocked, and essentially driven off this site.

I have had people make fun of me for having anorexia....

Funny how some people on here have the nerve to treat me so disrespectfully,yet...you like all my poems (about my anorexia) and some of you attempt to take them from me?...

Well, let me just tell you, I never wrote about any of you guys..My poetry was not about you..in fact, all of my poems were about my eating disorder...which you guys have made clear that you don't understand, but you are not above reading my poems and trying to copy them?

By taking my poems, you took a part from me

I don't care how "moved" you were by them, considering the ignorance and immaturity displayed by people on this site, I am guess the point of all of my poems went way over your heads.....

Because this site is full of little naive children who basically live in la la land and don't know anything about serious things, the real world, being truly individual, art or poetry

Witty was a terrible experience for me...I did meet some nice people who actually understood what I was talking about...But unfortunately the negatives I experienced on this site outweigh the positives

People here have been rude and disrespectful to me...and I am sorry to leave the people asking me to stay, but no writer that cares about their work, would dare stay on such an unstable site after having their writing (esentially a part of them) copied....

People are greedy, they see pretty words and take them (why would I even write about any of you? you are all strangers to me.....)

Knowing that most people here failed to understand what most of my writing was actually about, is a disappointment to me, as a writer..It just means I came to the wrong place and shared my personal life with the wrong people

The people who respected me while I was here, thank you, and I wish I could stay

The people who were rude to me, and copied me, and some even had the nerve to make fun of my eating disorder....you are sad little children, and I am sure now that
I am gone, since you can't think for yourself, you will find some other poor unsuspecting person to copy and imitate....

Because we all know how copycats are terrified of being though of as unoriginal, yet....for them to sit down and actually think for themselves and write poetry, would be impossible

The lesson is this....Social media sites are not for everyone

I took a huge risk joining this site knowing I did not know a single person here and they did not know me...and sadly the thing that I feared, ended up happening

Some of my beautiful, very personal poems (the subject matter not intended for kids at all)...were copied

And I am not flattered that some people here are too dumb to think for themselves and decided to take my thoughts

That's very low

So I hope people realize Witty may be fun for some people, but this site also has a very bad reputation of being full of immature, unoriginal people that judge way too quickly and run people off

Bye everyone...what a mistake this was, but I won't make it again

Hope you enjoyed reading my poetry while you could...you never will get to again

People on Witty, forced me to leave Witty

It's really pathetic that people copy your stuff and make fun of you. I don't fully understand anorexia or some problems myself, but I want to help people overcome their problems

I know, I am really hurt....I mean, some people have been nice, but I honestly cannot believe the lack of respect people have...I have gotten so much hate, and I am already insecure,..and anorexia is a really serious eating disorder, it can be deadly..the fact that people actually have the nerve to make fun of me for it, really hurts me....

Yeah being made fun of for problems or disadvantages is sickening. I used to be bullied a few years ago and it was really bad.

It is sickening, and it's shameful how it happens so much...to realize that even online, you can't protect yourself from it, is scary..bullying is horrible, and it's scary how quickly people judge other people...I have been called an "attention seeker" so much on this site. and the funny thing is that I don't actually know anyone here...so how they make that assumption about me is ridiculous..I am so insecure...the younger kids on here are the worst, no respect for other people at all

It's sad that the internet is an escape and then they get bullied here too. I don't think you're an attention seeker. My brother is an attention seeker so I'm pretty sure I know the difference between an attention seeker and a person expressing their problems.

Thank you, for being nice...I think that the fact that I shared very personal poems on here about my eating disorder, actually caused people to copy them, and actually have the nerve to make fun of me for having anorexia is just disgusting...people here don't deserve to read my poetry....I don't think most kids here even have a concept of right and wrong, and they clearly don't know anything about eating disorders and how horrible they are..and copycats are horrible...I would never take someone else's work, and pass it off as my own...i don't need to because I am always thinking, unlike the people who copied me...it's sad it all turned out this way, i was just trying to express myself...

And when they're bullying people on the internet, where are their parents? I don't see anything about their moms and dads monitoring them at all!

Ashleyray1233 · 9 years ago
Yeah, I don't think most parents have a clue what their kids do online...it would be nice if people took a break from computers once in a while, they can sometimes hurt you more than help you, especially when you run into the wrong kind of people

Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to find people that will make me change into a bully. I hope that doesn't happen.

Ashleyray1233 · 9 years ago
I don't think it will happen, people are bullies by nature, nice people have their limits too, though...online it seems if you have an opinion, people can say you are mean...which is unfair...the important thing is knowing that you are a good person. regardless of what others say...

witty used to be the best thing ever. we'd all stay up all night on it and quotes got more than 50 hearts and it was really a great thing. i used to spend soo much time on it and the quotes were so great and original. it sucks that people have to steal your poems though. those were personal and you chose to post them for everyone to see and some feel the need to take advantage of that.

Ashleyray1233 · 9 years ago
It really does suck...it seems it is really hard to be truly original here, without people taking advantage of that...the ironic thing is, this has happened to me before on other sites, people have copied my poems....I guess I have to be flattered in a way, because obviously that means I am a good writer, but still...people who copy are just immature and unoriginal...And I wish that I could say more good things about Witty, I think there are good people here, there are nice people, but this site is also full of copycats and immature people (which is why it's probably the worst kind of place for real writers)

exactly. and if they wanted to post your quote cos they liked it so much they could've given you credit or soemthing
0 reply

Ashleyray1233 · 9 years ago
Exactly, people just don't think anymore...it's like they read something and think "Oh, pretty, I will just take that, who cares who wrote it, I'm using it anyway"...it's just really selfish...I feel like my thoughts were hijacked, in a way...my poetry is my life
