TL;DR: Study found that ~6% of teens bully themselves online. They'll send anonymous hateful messages to themselves and then publicly respond. It's the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot privately, so you can get public sympathy.

Kids have that short an attention span that they type out an abusive message to someone, recieve the identical abusive message back, then slit their wrists because someone hates them.
