Internet Bullying vs real life

I believe bullying is just foolish in general but online bullying is just incomprehensible. We started the Internet to help establish a better communication with the world, however now people utilize the Internet to make it their personality trait or something. In games, blogs, facebook, twitter or something people view it as if they can find all the information on a person. Just because I write about when I was born or what I like to do or how one time I vented in a blog means that one can define me as an individual. So why judge over the Internet? I think people judge and harass others till this day because it is someone you don't know of and one is too quick to judge. Think about it why would people bully another because they can? The person themselves are somewhat discontent and thus leads to being cold to others. Now let's look into why online? See in person I truly believe the alpha male or woman can settle matters easily in person through a fight or putting fear in a person. Online anyone can say anything because they believe they can hide behind a screen and become invincible. I used to fight a lot back in high school and even in recent events but more so to protect friends and back them up in person. If someone ever came and asked me to help them because they got harassed online I would just tell them to stop going online, because they cannot physically hurt you or harass you. I think the Internet made the new generations really dependent of the web. Instead of making simple phone calls or a door bell ring we wait for a text or even sit around on aim or facebook for someone to meet up with. I say there is no such thing as Internet bullying if one is a strong individual and not dependent of the sort. The Internet should have never been meant to be used as a personal outline of who they are and such but more so a place to share information that can be more easily accessed.
