Online bullying

[denuseri]

This bullying goes on in real life just as much as online.

Which is going to be bound to happen when you allow children access to the internet unsupervised and in large numbers.

Learning how to deal with a bully is part of growing up imho, one of many not so pleasent natural parts of the human social condition.

I agree with you here, but one of the ways to deal with a bully is to report the bullying to parents, police, school administrators, etc. and actually have them do something about it. Telling a kid, "That's life. Deal with it." is what causes kids to commit suicide. It's not the best way to deal with it, but they are dealing.

Should social networks do more about bullying?
