    So the magical treasure was just a way back home after all? I always expected shounen manga pirates to go ahead and bury the idea of friendship in the middle of the sea.

    Alas! My eternal dream of playing "Rachel" in the post-trilogy Star Wars, mercilessly crushed by the boot of industry, shattered! Excuse me while I put on Stormtrooper armour so I can die an incompetent death.

    It would be nice if many people were able to think so. But unfortunately, we vary in how toughly we can take responses to things. It is in our character as individuals and varies between person to person in that manner.

    In that way, yes, cyber bullying is very much a problem. The fact that it is over a medium such as the internet does not change the fact that words can be extremely hurtful to people based on our interpretations. Bullying exists in various forms of communication in reality and this does carry over to the online world to some extent. And like reality, people do deal with it differently, people do have varying ways of how they react to it, and it can lead to all types of unsavoury situations.

    The internet provides a unique platform for bullying of this sort. While it is arguably easier to "avoid" the bullying by simply avoiding or staying away from the websites in question or the internet in general, the fact that the internet is also considered something close to a safe haven of anonymity by many who wish to escape the trials and tribulations of reality can make the consideration of bullying even worse when people feel they have nowhere else to turn without being bullied. Sometimes it is hard to find help through other channels.

    That being said, at times people feel their comments are not cyber bullying while the others believe it so. This is understandable, and we have had numerous examples of this situation on KH-Vids. Whether or not it would be a question of bullying is indeed subjective, but the mere accusation implies offense on the part of the one receiving the comment. Regardless of intent, it would be polite enough for an individual to acknowledge this and apologize, even if they do not consider their comments to be hurtful. But unfortunately, many comments on the internet are made through hurtful intent, or even mere apathy ("for the lulz xD") and the psychology of internet relations; of anonymity; of simple courtesy towards a stranger, all of these can be extremely complicated and variable depending upon the situation.

    What does not change is the fact that cyber bullying is a very real thing and has killed people in the past. As stated previously, individuals are different, and for some the idea of lingering dislike and insult on the conscience can be extremely detrimental to one's character. It is unwise to believe that anyone can just walk away unscathed from bullying that a victim themselves considers excessive and hurtful; of course, it is possible with support networks, but do these support networks exist when the individual in question is being bullied? At times, the answer to that question can determine the life or death of the individual. It feels very much so that I make this out more dramatic than it might seem to be, but bullying is not a mere component of face-to-face interaction, and hurtful comments are still hurtful, regardless of whether or not they are exclaimed in person, through the phone, or through the internet.

    Though the medium may be different, the intent, and the idea, are all the same, and it is a brackish, murky idea that serves to chop away at a person's conscience and character as they realize they are inadequate, or unfit to even exist. Which is far from the truth, but unfortunately, is all too prevalent on the internet today.

    I have a few more words on this, but I have some school work to finish and things to write, so I shall save part two of my reply for later.
