Trolling is, at least to me, often humorous teasing, sarcasm, and maybe even dark humor, but it isn't outright attacking someone. I think the line it transfers into "cyberbullying", is when it's things that are threatening specifically to that person, hateful, telling them to outright die or hurt themselves, that kind of thing. It's just plain bullying, whether it's online or whatever. Now, I know that for the majority of us we think things like "Why don't they just not listen to them? The bullies don't mean s--- and it's weak to give in to them." Well of course, but we've learned that along the way. Younger and younger people are on the internet, they don't have family or friends to give them this knowledge, and they have to find out for themselves. When I was in grade school, I was bullied and treated like s---. It hurts. It's not fun to be hated for stupid, shallow reasons or have no one you can trust that won't attack you.
My point is, I'm tired of the retarded crap I see on the internet these days. I know that it's everywhere and it's not like we can stop it completely, but the only way our culture in America and everywhere can change for the better is if we stop the pointless hate. If we all try to in some way help others and care. That's really what it comes down to. When is society going to get over the hatred and desire to destroy each other? It does nothing good. This probably sounds like a retarded rant but I don't care. I wanted to get it out. -
i totally agree :)

I was actually just thinking about this. I agree.

My chin has been resting on the top of my hand, next to my thumb for the past five minutes, and now my pinky and ring finger are all numb.
