Yes it is. I went through various forms of abuse, both physical and mental, for years. Then I realized that the bullies weren't worth the anguish I was putting myself through and it suddenly stopped meaning anything. People are going to hate other people, for a menagerie of reasons, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. The only thing you can really do is come to the realization that the bullies are simply wrong, and therefore aren't worth the minimal effort needed to acknowledge them or their actions.Pirate Kitty said:
Third option, there is no expectation of privacy when using pcs that belong to someone else whether it be the school or a corporation or even your best friend. However, what happens outside of school hours, off school grounds and on non-school equipment is completely out of their jurisdiction. The only way they can get access to your private messages is if you give them your passwords and logon credentials to all of those services or if they grab them while you are using a computer proxied through their servers. But even then they have no right to follow your actions outside of their sphere of influence. If one of your classmates is bullying you outside of school then it is the jurisdiction of your parents and the "proper" authorities not the school.
I know its been said already.
But what has anything outside school got to do with school.
I'll answer that.
NOTHING thats what. It would be like the school deciding they didn't like the way you do homework so a teacher follows you home to watch you doing the work. It is totally immoral and should be brought to court as a case of stalking.

Protect them like this while at school, yes. Nowhere else. It's not their job to raise the people. If they're getting bullied outside school, it's not the school's deal. The kids shouldn't stand for this.

As others have said, if you cant handle rude people on the internet, don't go on the internet! What an idea! I don't know what's happened to people lately that makes them so sensitive to a line of text from some random person. And if it's someone from school, why are they on your facebook? You AIM account? Email? Jesus it takes like 3 clicks to remove someone from ever contacting you on a computer.
These types of people just need to get a spine, im sorry, but i just can't see how anybody can be so offended by what's said on the internet and how they act like it can't be avoided.
Real bullying though, yes, that is terrible and should be punishable by death. Ok not really.

You're misconstruing what I said. It's in no way the fault of the victim and never will be. The fault lies with the bully, and they should be punished with extreme prejudice wherever possible.Pirate Kitty said:
What I'm saying is that caring about the opinions of bullies and fools is foolishness. If someone really cares about that stuff, they'll be miserable for their entire lives, because there will always be someone ready, willing and able to insult them. If you want to be happy, you have to come to the realization that the opinions of others, especially those who clearly dislike or even hate you.
Whatever damage has been done leading up to that revelation can be harsh, and takes a lot to get through, but it's never going to get any better until they reach that point.
Problem: Bufoons in the school system insist on monitering students obesessively, because somehow they can do that when they're not using school-provided computers.
Logical Solution: Hire everyone involved with the creation and upkeep of the system to work for Microsoft, because evidentally they're all hacking wizards and can, in time, rewrite modern computer science so that it works like it does in the movies. I mean, seriously. Those guys have got the moves.
Humorous Solution: Students should, if they have the nerve, browse furry porn all day long and refuse to use their computers for anything else.

What the fuck? How is that even legal?
And honestly, the suicide and pain resulting from extreme cyber bullying is terrible, but this whole problem is being made out to be far bigger then it actually is. There are much, much more pressing and damaging social issues among schools and teens that don't get the attention they deserve.
