There's such a thing as common sense. If someone is harrasing you on MSN you block them, yet this seems to never happen. For some reason the victim leaves all contact with his/her bullies open, which is something I don't understand. Maybe it's a school culture thing, but I don't get why somebody doesn't slap those kids in the face and tell them to use the block button and get a new phone number. They might not have the resistance but their parents should have. An older brother or sister should have. Someone who cares about them should be able to slap some sense into a high school kid being cyber bullied. Why is that not happening?

I know myself, when someone says something nasty to me online, I will argue back and I always have, even though the things they say hurt me, and will continue to do so as long as I am arguing back. It's not natural for all ppl to go for the 'block' button when they're getting insulting, offensive, bullying messages sent their way. Many will do what I do and argue back, EVEN THOUGH it will still be damaging to myself. I know now that maybe it is a better idea to block them immediately, but when I was younger (a child) I won't have understood the consequence of the choices I make. Chidlren may continue to communicate with the bully, even though it upsets them furthermore. Children are immature, which is why they need protection.
