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.
Also, the mentally disabled are 3x more likely to do this:
Researchers are calling this behavior "digital self-harm." Teens who identified as non-heterosexual were three times more likely to bully themselves online, while victims of cyberbullying were 12 times more likely to cyberbully themselves.

My children are home schooled.
A wise decision.

That is fucking hilarious.
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.

Or it takes effort to power it, like you have to run on a treadmill or ride a stationary bike to power it up.

We need to foster a culture of excellence and achievement, and the dregs of society -- the freaks, the queers, the pussys, the retards, the criminals, the perverts -- need to be pushed out to the fringes where they belong. We need a strong resurgence of Christianity, but a militant, masculine brand of Christianity that is less concerned with turning the other cheek and more concerned with righteousness and judgment. If we don't do this, we are done.
I'm sorry to say that I don't think there is enough will to do these things, so I believe the West is finished. Of course it won't vanish into thin air ... it will just continue to decay and devolve and regress with more lawlessness, more corruption, more perversion, until Islam takes it over and does away with all personal freedoms and begins a new Dark Age of ignorance, superstition, and poverty for all.

In liberalism, victimhood is the pinnacle of achievement.

It is like a parent punishing their masochist child, will hitting them count as a punishment? Shunning and shamed by their peers, I think that is actually what they want. Hell, I bet words of encouragement that invalidate their victim points will break them.
