Kids don’t have the same ability of adults to cope with it though.

Kids as in ages 7-14 sure but anyone who is over 14 or 15 should not be phased by online teasing.

Because every kid’s emotional/intellectual development occurs at the exact same time as everyone else.

That’s why I gave a 2 year gap for the people who are “slow to evolve” so to speak. Regardless of that shit, getting depressed/suicidal or violent over teasing on the internet is an overreaction for any teenager. Maybe I’m projecting but I was teased and bullied for this or that reason even by my Father until I was like 17 and I never got violent or depressed as a result. And these things happened in real life so from my point of view cyber bullying really ain’t shit.

Every person reacts to such things differently. Not everyone has a support system in the form of a friend or loved one to counteract the negative stuff. And kids today have never known a world without internet and smart phones. It is real life to them.

Would you shrug off a death threat sent over the internet? People don’t do the note tied to a rock through the window thing these days.
