Excellent piece on bullying! It was cohesive and flowed smoothly, and it was clear how it all comes together.
I left a site because of the effect of one cyber bully that no one else could clearly see. I watched this person manipulate one of my friends who is easily swayed in one area and started "imping" others, starting arguments amongst friends and sowing distrust. All because someone called her out on her pettiness, nastiness, and bigotry. She thinks that no one can guess that she is behind all of this. I pointed this out to several people, but they couldn't see it....
It's about power, the need to exercise power as a percieved necessity for survival. And it's survival of the fittest. The most vulnerable gets picked on the most. It's herd mentality, the need to fit in, which is paradoxically the weakest point, because those who are truly strong do not need to fit in. They survive on their own.
