As an aside, bullying of all natures is a seriously under-reported occurance, as well.
The limits on the first amendment do actually include libel/slander. It's just a lot easier for those limits to be effective when the offense is happening in a contained environment instead of the entire internetz. (It would be much harder to get away with posting flyers around Suzy's town/place of work/school saying Suzy is a slut/thief/be creative than posting it on the internet.)
