Cyberbullying survivors who turned pain into power. Discover how they fought back from those who tried to break them online, found healing, and reclaimed their voice online.

The Message That Broke Her

It started with one cruel comment.

“You look like a slut in that dress.”

Then came the edits. The reposts.
The fake accounts in her name.
The photoshopped images.
The anonymous threats.

Ananya, 19, had posted a video dancing in a saree.
It was graceful. Proud. Strong.
Until trolls decided to sexualize it.

Within hours, the video had 2 million views but for all the wrong reasons.

People called her names.
Others DM’d her offers.
Some said she was asking for it.

She stopped going to college.
Deleted her Instagram.
Stared at the ceiling for days.

Her crime? Posting a video in confidence.

The Wall of Silence He Faced

Cyberbullying sohum

John, 24, was a quiet, kind techie.
He had a stammer since childhood. But he had finally mustered courage to post videos teaching coding.

He didn’t expect applause.
But he didn’t expect this either:

“Bro you sound like your brain is buffering.”

“Get a life. Or a new tongue.”

Someone even made a meme page mocking him.
People laughed. Even those who followed him.
His DMs filled with loooool.

He stopped recording.
He doubted his dreams.
He deleted all his work.

His crime? Trying to share knowledge while being different.

What Cyberbullying Really Feels Like

  • It isn’t just mean comments.

  • It’s digital suffocation.

  • A slow erosion of self-worth in public.

It invades your safe space, your phone, your bedroom, your mind.
And it makes you believe you deserve the hate.

The Turning Point

Ananya’s best friend didn’t let her drown in shame.

She said, “You did nothing wrong. Let’s report. Let’s clean it up.”

They found a support group.
They found SOHUM, a safe, judgment-free platform that takes on digital hate like a quiet warrior.

SOHUM helped:

  • Remove fake accounts and impersonations

  • Suppress offensive videos from Google results

  • Take legal steps with minimal noise

  • Build back her digital confidence

Ananya now speaks in schools about digital confidence.
The girl once trolled for dancing, now teaches others how to stand tall.

John’s mentor didn’t laugh.

He said, “You’re more real than all those cowards hiding behind keyboards.”

With SOHUM’s help, John:

  • Tracked and reported the meme page

  • Sent takedown requests to platforms

  • Got support from verified influencers who amplified his story

  • Got counseling to break the cycle of shame

He’s back. Stronger. Clearer.
He now ends every video with:

“I speak differently. But what I say has value.”

The Real Power Is This: They Didn't Quit

You see, cyberbullies don’t win by attacking you.

They win when you stop being you.

But Ananya didn’t stop dancing.
John didn’t stop teaching.
They just found better shields.
They found people who believed in their right to be seen — with dignity.

What You Can Do Today

It’s not a digital problem.
