i believe its blown out of proportion by the media
Bullying has always been around and always will.
I bet we could reduce the amount of bullying to some degree though
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Bullying was always a problem internationally.
Its unavoidable.
I think school are to blame. They put up this anti-cyber-bullying façade yet they don't take any preventative measures. They give so called 'talks' which do nothing but add fuel to the fire. Little shithead punks then think it's cool to cyber-bully because authorities said not to. If the school reprimands them then they continue do it anonymously. They preempt this shit. weed out the bad kids. Truly isolate them from potential victims. All bullying starts off in the schoolyard, so take immediate action there. That is the only effective way to combat it, if we should combat it at all.
In all honesty though, we live in a society where shit like this shouldn't phase anyone. Humanity has been through a lot of shit and continues to face adversities, bullying should be right at the bottom of the list. Can't take it? Then walk away. You want to wuss out? Then fucking do it. We don't need your sappy youtube shit, we don't need your fucking guilt trip. You can't take it, that's your problem and your problem alone.

A-fucking-men, couldn't have said it better.
If people don't like it thy should remove themselves from the situation. They an make a new messenger screen name, block people on their phones and Facebook, and make new email accounts. They have every option to keep it from happening. If the bullies create a blog or a website based on the person being bullied, the authorities will remove and charge the person for harassment, especially it the victim is being underage.
If you're going to continue browsing a website that is directed offensively at yourself, then just do not browse the website. The supporters of the government "needing to regulate this" are only supporting Internet censorship in general.

See what I don't get is kids are always told to tell someone when the bullying becomes a problem. Tell a parent, teacher, someone old enough to do something, but no one ever does. why not?
Still love you Giggletron
They make it worse. I know everyone is told it will not but it inevitably does. The people you tell only "talk" to the bully, at most maybe giving them detention/suspension from school or they become "grounded" at home, but this only pisses the bully off even more. The victim is then labeled a "nark", or a "weakling" due to this, which causes the bullying to escalate because now the bully has a mental focus that you "tried to bring them down". This (in the bullies mind) causes the bully to believe you started a war, and them tormenting the victim is jus part of the "battle".
I learned all of this in psychology and from my mother who is a school teacher. Many teachers will not tell their students this as it is a means of immediate termination, but that it truly does make the circumstance worse.

Everykid must watch CP in the deep web, or Torchan :P
Cyber bullying should not exist, i mean the most several thing they can do is rage at you with caps. Kids should stop being pussies.
