I suppose it would be rather bad for someone who grew up in the sort of culture where social networking is a way of life rather than a diversion. Personally I would rather have had people harassing me online than sending me home with bruises and cuts, and the frustration of seeing them get away with it day after day, only for me to be punished whenever I retaliated. It's a bit unhealthy to e-ignore everyone you know that isn't a supportive friend, but there's no little red X in the top right corner of being punched in the gut.
It is becoming a way of life for a very large part of the population.
Information can be more difficult to remove than a person. Once it gets on the internet, does anything truly die anymore?
It is, I'll grant that much. Though frankly I think that this is one more issue with the sort of information overload that this sort of social media generates. The heart of the issue seems to be that there is relatively little that can be done in these circumstances, barring what I would term (in most cases) excessively vigorous pursuit of libel suits in applicable cases. The typical aegis of the school system doesn't extend to online interactions, and there isn't a terribly large selection of options for dealing with that sort of cruelty.
I'll admit that I'm not the best person to give advice about bullying, in no small part because it (and my response to it, and my disgust with the bullshit that supposed "expert" child behaviorists liked to shovel) has distorted my emotional condition and attitudes toward it quite a bit. Neither recommending that a child suck it up and ignore the prick or start an extended campaign of humiliation against them is very good advice. If we're honest, it's not difficult to admit that bullying won't stop. It's not "right" by any definition I'd care to accept, but it is normal. What needs to be altered or removed from the picture is the environment provided by modern social networking, and that's largely a matter of social norms, which are difficult at best to actively change.
I keep getting phone calls from... 14. That's the phone number. 14.
14... 14 is two times 7. 7 CE was the year of the Consulship of Metellus and Nerva. Taking the second of the pair, Nerva was Emperor from 96 to 98 CE. His reign was brief and rocky, and the Praetorian Guard forced him to adopt Trajan, who would succeed him. Nerva was considered to be wise and moderate, and the peaceful transition of power after his death founded the Nerva-Antonine Dynasty. The Nerva-Antonine Dynasty consisted of seven Emperors who ruled from 96 to 192 CE, or 96 years. 96 divided by 7 is (roughly) 6.857142857.
Call the number (685) 714-2857 and you will be answered by the modern Praetorian Freemasons, who wish to force your adoption to the current Roman Emperor, Charles Barkley of Luxembourg.
