Re: Bullied because of a joke -

I'm sorry that you are being bullied and that you feel like killing yourself or others is the only option you have. Harming yourself and/or others is NOT the answer! One strong suggestion would be to remove the offensive material from your Instagram. You have a right to express yourself, but it may not only lead to reactions like this, but could come back to seriously haunt you when it comes to college and/or job applications. Future employers and college admissions officials can and will Google you and you don't want that kind of content attached to your name. You can't control what other people do or say, only how you react to it. Consider what kind of reputation you want to have and take actions now to create that reputation, and if they call you names, that's on them. Even if you meant this as a "joke" there are certain things that aren't funny which is why they are called offensive. If you want to express yourself in this way consider doing so privately.
So you like to make people angry, but only if it's not directed at you? If you're doing it to get a rise out of people, you really have to expect this kind of reaction. I'm not telling you not to express your feelings, but by doing it publicly, you are leaving yourself open to reactions like this. And did you just make the page private, because the bullies somehow figured out the page belonged to you. Since you know you need help, I"m going to strongly suggest that you seek it. They can help you figure out why you feel the way you do and find more effective ways to express yourself.
