Am I going too far?
Recently, whilst doing my exams, I’ve found myself using TikTok a lot more, and I came across this account about how her boyfriend saved her and what not. I thought it was cute, saw a few comments and clicked on the tagged account in the description, for pure curiosity as the comments seemed to know who this guy was. At first I was a little unsure if maybe they were just close friends, but I saw no harm.
The boyfriend’s account was filled with funny videos, gaming ones, cat ones and even some gym stuff. He has 30.4K followers. So I thought ‘why not?’ And followed him. A few hours later, after revising, I open my phone to a message from his account. A picture of my profile picture held by slender fingers and long nails. The caption underneath was ‘do better girl cmon’.
I barely glanced at these two profiles in my hour of scrolling so I was pretty confused on what was happening, originally thinking that maybe some girls in my class have seen me add someone cringey. I replied with ‘lol what’ and instantly she replied ‘saw my post about my boyfriend then followed him’.
At this point, I was busy laughing, not too bothered by this fact as she had over 2000 followers and he had 30400. I mean, what, does their nightly routine consist of checking their followers?
I put ‘Girl I'm 16 I don't care 😭’ because I truly don’t. If she’s acting like I’m some homewrecker adding her boyfriend because he’s attractive? I’m not. He needs a shave too.
She then sent me two more messages ‘sorry LIKED my post then followed him’ followed by ‘weird ass bitch’ which is just rude coming from absolutely nowhere. I sent back a gif of @restlyssclips ‘s Bakugo cosplay where it’s a laugh followed by shock.
In return, she sent ‘die’ and blocked me. And I know it’s out of anger but that really sucked, because I’d had issues with my mental health, not that she’d have known, I have no posts on my account.
Here’s my question; am I the bully?
I had dozens of spare TikTok accounts and loads of Gmail accounts, so I made accounts with their username and copied their profile pictures, posting in their comment sections warning other viewers to not follow them and warning people that they send death threats to teenagers.
After they both blocked account number 2 (not including my main account), they both went to private accounts, where I followed them with three more accounts, and then left it for a few days.
This morning, I made a new account and checked their profiles and they’d been posting like nothing, back on public. All I wanted was an apology. Because you truly don’t know what’s going on through the screen. I started spamming her comment sections and his, going through their old TikTok’s. I’m not sure on her age, but he is 21 and she’s probably the same. They both live in Manchester too.

His account: @jimtornor
The images are screenshots of what I got from their accounts, because I was going to ask originally for people to spam them like me. But now I’m not so sure.
