Human sunbeam + radio personality Sam Frost has sent a heartbreaking message to the anonymous bullies and trolls infecting her life: “You have won.”
The former Bachelorette sent this tweet out last night:
To the fake accounts heavily trolling me online & into my personal life. If you wanted to break me.. Congratulations you have won. #broken ??

She didn’t name names or tag any account in particular, but she didn’t have to. Followers were quick to respond with messages of love and support, including fellow radio personality Mel Greig and former Big Brother housemate Tully Smyth.
@Sam_Frost HEY YOU! You are strong, smart and beautiful. Do not let faceless cowards get inside your head. Switch off for the night. xxx

Quick guidelines for those partaking in anonymous cyberbullying: stop, log off, take a real long hard look at yourself.
“Imagine if what you said about someone else online was said about you. Imagine being called fat and ugly on a daily basis, imagine having no escape and no one to talk to.
“For just one moment, think about what it would be like if a bully never left you alone. Think about leaving school and going home to escape, but this bully came into your home, this bully was relentless, on your Facebook, your Instagram and your Twitter. This bully was there 24 hours a day.
“Those empty words you write behind a keyboard have an eternal effect on the person they’re directed at. You have no idea what battles people are facing behind closed doors.
“Just because you’re invisible behind a computer, doesn’t mean those words don’t have an impact.”
