people who take it seriously are stupid, people who do it are fags
And seeing as most people are not aware of the impact it has on people, it will continue.

Shit, kids these days are terribly soft if they get upset over someone on the computer. Is it not the same. it emotional bulling really. It not like someone calling you fat in a photo comment. it a reall problem. and the bully sometimes doesn't stop. emotional pain can last longer than physical Forgive me if I'm not sympathetic to the plight of people who can actually escape their bullying situation by simply not turning on a computer. Those of us who've had serious situations outside of the computer will understand that luxury of just logging off. You can log off a computer and it stops - you can't log off your life. just because you can avoid it means it's ok? Cyber bulling does not mean just internet, it also means phone, photoshoping somone and sending the pics to others, creating a fake internet profile, or even hacking theirs. It's not just a few nasty words on myspace

I'm not saying it's okay, I don't think it is, but there's a lot of things that go on that aren't okay in this insane world. Cyber bullying certainly isn't the worst thing that happens to kids and teenagers. It's not the worst that happens, as far as bullying goes.
Its completely avoidable, and is not a real crime. There is no way in hell anyone could actually prosecute for it.
It's the internet. Grow a pair. Anyone who gets cyberbullied is the one that subjected themselves to it in the first place. It's retarded to complain of cyberbullying. If you don't like it simply block the person doing it or stop using that site.
Seriously, how people can get so uptight when they actually have options to escape internet harassment is beyond me. Don't like the comments on your silly little MySpace page??? Well here's an idea: DELETE IT. Stop logging on!

What does she have to do with this?
It is just as wrong as bulling in the 'real world'
This, and it all should be prosecuted
