That's a great point. Being online is a lot like being in a car. We feel protected so we say things we wouldn't say face to face. It's really sad that people feel the need to speak down to others. No need to have regrets. You did the best you knew at the time. Forgive yourself and move forward.

When the snowflake becomes the bully

Thank you for sharing on a vulnerable topic. I think a lot of us rely on social media (including SN) for community and it would serve us all to treat each other as human beings behind the screen. I don’t know many adults who feel confident bullying in person the way they do at their keyboards. 

I was a pretty quiet kid and managed to avoid being bullied pretty well. I did join in on some and it was to people I considered a friend. But it was an easy thing to join in on and feel good doing at the time. That is something I regret to this day
