that's so vague

Like what I've seen happen to people who get cyberbullied?

Basically I've just seen on tumblr people getting anonymous messages which don't go away. People will just try to force the opinion on this person that someone is useless and no matter how much positive feedback this person gets, the only thing that will stick with them are the negatives.

There are three main reactions I've seen. There are people who will just delete it and you don't really see that. There are people who will sarcastically respond to it and finally there are the third category; the ones who will be triggered by it.

What makes it so bad is that this third category of people are those who have already experienced bullying, and now their one safe place and sanctuary; their home; has been invaded, and they can't escape it. That's why cyberbullying is so bad, because it is invasive and because you've lost your safe place where you were free to express yourself and you've lost your privacy.
