[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone willing to name schools where YY and Fizz are used to call out or bully individual kids by name?

It would be helpful to us parents in talking with our kids or perhaps being more attentive.

And though I smirked a bit when apps called these sites the college equivalent of DCUM, I view DCUM as something very different.

Yes, people can be aggressive and obnoxious when posting anonymously here. I’m not always 100% proud of how I show up. But thankfully, no one is called out by name on this site. Nor is this community small enough for individuals to be easily identified. Credit to Jeff, of course. But also to the larger scope of this site and community.

Going back to YY and Fizz, I’d really like to know which schools have kids using it to target individuals or cause real drama (as opposed to merely sharing info or blanket innuendos about this fraternity or that sorority as a whole.) The Washington College story was harrowing and tragic. [/quote]

[b]For purposes of talking to your child, assume that it is or could be any school. [/b]It only takes one person to call out an individual by name (or by specific description such that everyone involved knows who it is) and then teen/young adult judgment being what it is, everyone piles on.

Yes, of course.

AND I’m asking for actual school names from people who posted the specific examples above.[/quote]
