Bullying is nothing new...  But I guess I do have to agree that the
social media stuff puts a new layer on it...   :(   And makes it harder
to escape from, unless one ignores things like Twitter and Facebook like
I used to ignore the general gossip around me in school...

I used to get some of the flack... by standing with/up for the
underdogs... unfortunately, or maybe it was fortunately, that used to
keep me from being accepted into the cliques...  ;0  Didn't get any
physical bullying, but taunts can be quite hurtful, too...
