The Age of Trolls
All throughout high school I viewed trolls as funny memes. My friends and I have trolled each other countless times because we know that when we get mad, its only for the time-being and we will get over it. But the trolls I witnessed from the past week from being exposed to it during class is beyond disbelief. I knew about the cyber bullying that was going on on the internet but not to the extent that it was happening. One example is the Lewinsky situation. She didn't deserved to the extent of what happened to her. Her not being able to go for a walk in the park with out being harassed by the media constantly. No one should feel like the only way to make everything to stop is to take your own life. If your being trolled just don't respond. Trolls are what they are because people give them enough attention to respond, so it fuels them to continue doing what they do. Ignore it or report the account that is trolling you, is the best advice I can give you.

I agree with you, Sebastian, the victims of trolling do not deserve this kind of humility. No one does. Trolls makes them what they are because of the attention they are given, so yes if people do respond to the trolls, people are only giving them what they want. Victims only take their lives because of the severity of the situation trolling has gotten. It is a terrible thing to force someone to take their life and not having any feeling for what they have caused. I hope everyone takes your advice, so it won't come to the severity of taking a life. If it does come to that point, people should seek help. They should not go through such tough times because of a pointless irrelevant comment.
