well this is rubbish.

Nope, it's actually quite accurate.

They do it because they are confident behind their computer screens. I guess it's how some obnoxious people vent their frustration and pure hatred. People who do it also never take into consideration the effect it has on people mentally.

This pretty much really ^. Half (i'm not saying it's the case for everyone :rolleyes the stuff people say online would not be said by them in reality, I've unfortunately been a victim to cyber bullying before and it is a horrific thing for someone to do to another person but I can see why virtual reality makes people so much more confident and at times cruel, it's probably the reason why we have trolls as well. Because it's all done through a screen you can't do anything to the "troll" irl so they have this fake illusion that they're invincible online.

Of course, I've seen cases on other sites where trolls have been "beaten" by "regular people" online, but the methods were very extreme + involved in people getting banned from sites lol. Won't say anymore.

Oh, also agreeing with what people are saying about the victim getting the last laugh - very untrue lol.

The fantastic thing about cyber bullying is that if someone harasses you then you just ignore them.

Some people will do the above but most people who become bullied learn to get over it in time and once that happens, that truelly is the last laugh that bully victims get on a bully.

i still fail to see how the victim is getting the last laugh - they were being bullied and i really doubt the bully cares what the victim is doing in the future. so no, they don't get the last laugh. they may learn from their experiences, but that doesn't mean anything in relation to the bully as they're long gone and living their own lives.

and no, you'd be surprised how many individuals develop embedded issues because of what happened to them when they were younger. overcoming something isn't as mainstream and easy as you make it out to be. those who suffer in silence prolong the issue until it could evolve into something else and manifests further. obviously some victims do get over what occurred in their younger years, but definitely not 'most people' in those situations lmao

@Lee; how was my post pointless? it was on topic and i was just saying my opinion!

i think @dirrty; is probably right here.
usually the victim does not laugh, the are often the one's to comitt suicide. last time i checked, that wasn't having the last laugh.

Lets just agree to disagree I do get your point of view.

i am very open about when i was 17 i was kicked out of sixth form for cyber bullying another and:

a) i have never been bullied myself. ever.
b) it didn't make me feel great (it was just a laugh).
c) i said much worse to their face irl.

it's not something i'm proud of (mainly because i got kicked out of sixth form, not really because of the personal issues) but it's part of my life now and people who know me have accepted that.

i'm sure i'll go to hell though guys so no worries.
