I was going to say the same thing actually.
Any bullying is bad. Of course some fluffy name calling isnt worth getting upset over, but cyberbullying and other non-physical bullying isn't just one person calling another names. It's a group of people alienating and singling out on person making him feel like a piece of shit with no life... for years and years on end... Years of being told you're wrong and useless.
Trust me, I know what verbal bullying can do. Ive had my my bad years at school too, but at least I came out sort of intact. My friend though... She's another story. She's outright become unsocial and very mistrusting of people. She hates people downright and often lets them piss her off.
But being her, I can see why. She's been treated like shit by most people, even though no one really did anything violent.
Anyway most people come out fine, but there are those with very low mental pain threshold, and there's nothing about that, that make them deserve it or stupid. Just different people with different psyches.
So name calling isnt just name calling. It builds up stress. And depression. And more stress.
Took me about 20 years to learn to just be a bit normal and make friends and aquaintences after not really having anyone to relate to during all my years in folk school. I'm still very anti social and have social angst but I'm beginning to learn at least. And I wasnt even victim to too harsh bullying. Just alienation.
