I just don't think trolls have such a good personality. They're in for one hell of a surprise when they get out there in the real world...if they ever do.
I think it's more down to the individual tbh. Like regular members, trolls can't all be grouped together. Although I think we all agree that they shouldn't be allowed on forums just because they -might- be nice lol.
40. Trolls can be funny yet harmless for the most part and well liked too, the ones that end up pissing everyone off are either doing it wrong or doing it intentionally.
Trolls do well for themselves in real life. *looks at people running the world*....Banks collapsing all over the world?...have a multi million pound end of year bonus.
Random bullying on the internet? makes me wonder why you didn't just you know, close the page.
Eh. There are different types of trolls. harmless ones, and ones that should be kicked in the face. /shrugs. I'll be on the fence here and not speak no more.
But aha... talking about this reminds me of fifth grade. The grade that sort of changed my life, so to speak! Well... personality wise I suppose. It wasn't until Middle School until I got into anime and all that jazz, and it wasn't until Middle School that I found Tales of Symphonia aka my Bible in life.
4th grade changed my life. Bullies galore, people who used to like me now treating me like trash... It didn't get better 'til 8th grade. Which is when I switched schools. Can't say that time period was when I got into anime/manga; I was already into it in 2nd grade.
I am a karma believer. I believe your soul will keep taking different forms until you live a good life. ...or something like that. (And by the way, it is NOT the same thing as reincarnation.)
I was bullied myself in fifth grade (and maybe before them like hell I remember). It was after that I went to Middle School on the other side of town (and then to Florida), but regardless, it wouldn't have continued. For one, I actually spoke up, so the two who were doing so had shut their mouths. And just in general I allowed it to make me a stronger person. ♥ Probably helped that I was also some sort of "peer-mediator" in the fifth grade of sorts. It really helped when I hit middle school actually, because it allowed me to help my neighbors, who were being bullied on the bus.
Of course, I suppose it's also why I have a 'I don't give a damn' behavior at times, but I consider that behavior to be somewhat of a double-edged sword.
tl;dr: being bullied can make you stronger or cause you to lose things such as confidence. i myself got stronger through it. ♥
