I support the sites as I see the views of the children using them however I refuse to support the charity that owns them.

Please investigate why there was such a dramatic turnover of not only trustees but staff also. The CEO of this charity is a bully that runs the whole organisation on fear. If this charity is to survive she needs to stand down and do the honourabe thing. I wish I could tell the whole truth about this woman and the distress she has caused so many staff, past and present.

Alot of people are finding it hard to cope since the closure of both Mindfull and Beatbullying and it has definitely left an impact on us all. Please bring back these vital services that so many young people rely on, many of the young people who have used these sites sometimes say it's not always the advice that cheers them up (even though the advice given was great) but the chatroom community- we were like a big family and due to the closure we have suddenly lost this, we have lost friends, the community, people who believed in us and made us feel asif we belonged. Despite all of the negativity that has been shared I still believe that most of the people involved with these charities were extremely caring and encouraging. Many staff members are also sharing the hashtags that were put out and we know there's still hope for these sites due to the recent update by the BBG trustees. We must not give up hope, keep sharing this petition and spread the word! #SaveTheBBGroup #SaveBBandMF

I can't belive this has happened to BB and MF. they were all so kind and helpful - so supportive. They help so much but really why didn't they manage money better. Now well I feel like I have no where to go to - childline and Samaritans really don't help. Please omg. Now what? They were a lifeline and really really good for people my age to go to. Cant belive it why??

I hope BB and MF come back. They really helped me and now well i dont feel like i can talk to anyone on childlie or the samaritans as they well i dont want them to tell my mum and dad like they have tried before. MF and BB are my family, but when i need them they go. I cant belive this these websites they were ... were .. different. Special and just a great place to go when you were upset and down and didnt have anyone to turn too. I need you back. Please whoever reads this please just sign the petition.. raise money do whatever you can to bring them back. If any of you have instagram then please go to my page _LYDIA03_ and sponser me for a thing im doing to bring this back. At the mo im in complete despair not knowing what to do please help. Come back thanks for everything BB and MF.XXX

I remember when they shut FY down. we had warning it was gona happen but it was still sad when FY got shut down. FY was like such a big help for me. it taught me to trust, gave me a sense of belonging, helped me a-lot and was actually like the start of me thinking positively it was also a safe place for me to go to when i was lke having a rough time etc.

I would like to back up what some others have said: BeatBullying and MindFull are brilliant, vital services that do a huge amount of good and they need to be saved. I hope that the sites get up and running again as soon as possible because they save lives and give hope to young people who are desperate. The BB Group staff who work on the sites, the counsellors, mods, volunteers and everyone else who work on these programmes are wonderful people who genuinely care about the site users. However, a very small minority of people at The BB Group have misused their power and made destructive decisions again and again without listening to anyone else. It is a very small minority who have done this, but they have disproportionate power. I support the reopening of the sites 100% - just under different management, run by people who can be trusted to do the right thing for the young people who use the services and the staff who try really hard to support them.

To be fair.. i dont realyl know who you are? and from what i heard you were a member on FY?Not bb and mf...? also say ing ' then quite frankly BBG are idiots' isnt really nice...? BBG...? thats the whole group... MOST of them didnt know about it.... so maybe think carefully about your words next time yea...I really hate that word... and ookay yeah had money problems and yeah they didnt give us notice which was out of order... it was a mistake ? EVERYONE makes mistakes... even you rob,I didnt do this petition for people to think it was a way to be disrespectful about the group.. the group is awesome and i really know that the moderators and office moderators and counsellors are amazing to be fair,NO WAY are they idiots, So think about facts and read what you say...
