Okay, explain what's wrong with what I'm saying. From where I stand, it's exactly as I stated - it will only get as bad as one allows it to be. If said person being bullied has a bad background with terrible parenting and is a generally depressed individual, that doesn't change anything. Until they can psychologically say, "You know what? Fuck it. These people are pathetic." and walk away, they will continue to be bullied over the internet. If you're too emotionally unstable to be able to do that, then you shouldn't be involved in anything where it came from in the first place(forum, website, 4chan, whatever).
Its not because "everyone is pampered now", which is also untrue. Its because bullying and harassing others is so much easier with the internet.
What exactly do you mean by this?
You can't honestly think anyone who doesn't have rock-hard skin will frequent 4chan? lol
what a sad thread. and the most ironic thing about it is the sheer number of people who are saying that the bullying victim should just "grow a pair", when its they themselves who need to grow a pair and learn how to stand up for somebody who is being victimized instead of just letting it happen because they arent man enough to step in and intervene.
Only a few people replying here are correct, the kid being bullied probably has had his arse wiped for way too long, my father commited suicide and i agree with the people who are saying find a way to deal with it, if your seriously contemplating suicide because someone said something mean on xbox you aint gonna go far in life.
I'm 25 now and still a rather large guy. But in highschool I was the fat kid and I started going bald at 14 years old. The best way to get over anything is to laugh at yourself, before people even started making cracks at my weight or my loss of hair I was making jokes about myself. I've also be technically diagnosed at being depressed, but meh
Honestly, I don't care if this guy is 15 or 50, if he's letting some guy HE CAN'T EVEN SEE bully him? Really? I can't fathom this in the least. I know about being picked on, and I have never a day in my life thought about suicide, wayyyyyy too much I haven't done
that having a bad background doesn't change anything about how it happens. How much intake of bullying you get is dependent on how you handle the situation when it's over a medium such as the web. Wether or not they're mentally capable of doing something about it is unrelated.
Dunno, people like having sex in scuba suits so ... anything is possible.You can't honestly think anyone who doesn't have rock-hard skin will frequent 4chan? lol
well right now you should go find him before he kills himself.... and then we can start thinking of the solution

What is better, to be born good? or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?

my attempts at being funny with skyrim
I would step in if it is someone I care about IRL.
I would just laugh and go "grow a pair" if it is some stranger that I don't even know on the internet.
There is a difference.
In fact even in RL if it is a stranger I most likely would do the same.
