Or have you done some online bullying yourself? Everyone has been abused in a chatroom once or twice, so have you got a bully story? How do you deal with it?
I had someone email bullying me, I finally had to block them so I wouldnt get their emails or instant messages!

I've never really had problems with online bullying except for a few instances where a 'friend' was upset with how a certain situation was going, so she convinced people myself and someone else were such horrible people where they had to continously pick at us because we were so horrible, how could we do that to someone like her? BLAH BLAH BLAH. She was just a sorry excuse for a friend anyway, so whatever. Not like those people badgering me changed how wrong she was.
I've done online bullying and I could careless. It's not like I'm that bad, considering how bad some people really are. It's rather entertaining in some cases.
That probably makes me sound like a horrible person, but I'm ok with that.

Well i cant say i have ever been bullied online or even been a bully to anyone else i don't see the sense in being a bully it gets you nowhere, If i was to be a victim of bullying online i would just block that person or ignore them, Thats the beauty of the internet you can just switch it off.

Great response! Sometimes we forget that we can still be the 'bigger' person and turn it off. Thanks for your reply!

It's amzing what the anoymity of being online does to some people.Yes, I've been 'bullied' but i fight back well,so it wasn't overtly traumatizing.Why even fight back,right?I got over feeling the need to as well.

I know what you mean, its better to 'delete' than give in and lower yourself to their standards, but sometimes they get you so worked up you cant help but say something.... thanks for the reply!
