I agree with this. The Dr. Phil show talked about this topic. Dr. Phil said that it's basically people who need to vent, pissed off at the world, or whatever, so they'll use the internet to take it out on people who might be easy to mess with. He said that people who cyberbully have some unresolved issues, and I'll take it one step further. People who bully people period, have some unresolved issues. For the times I've posted on here, I have seen certain people get picked on, but I wouldn't call it cyberbullying because you can either close the browser, use the ignore feature, not respond, or just talk the same shit back. If it's just as easy for the cyberbully, then it should be just as easy for the person being bullied. This is a good topic.
