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.

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.

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

then you are the type of person we can do without. If you can't figure it out, you are below the minimum standard.

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.

Victimhood is the new currency in society.

Something to that effect was written the last time I saw an article on the subject.

victims of cyberbullying were 12 times more likely to cyberbully themselves.

What an odd statement, if they are the perpetrators of their own bullying then they are not victims of it. Such a culture of victim-hood its become worse than a joke.

Digital Leftist Munchhausen Syndrome !

Could be the ones who have been bullied have gotten a taste of how much support and sympathy they get. When that dries up, they recreate the original incident to get more support and sympathy.

yea possible, or they are immersed in a culture of victim-hood already and see it as acceptable because everyone's is getting victim points and they don't seem to be which makes them scratch their heads with cognitive dissonance. Then the justification i.e. "by any means necessary" "The ends justify the means" ....

"About 6%"? Fuck off who even gives a shit? I bet another 6% consider suicide or want to lose/gain weight or hate their friends/family. Doing or thinking about doing stupid things is part of being a kid. Jesus christ, 6%, let's all freak the fuck out about a worthless statistic. Also, the shitty reporter can't even link to the actual fucking study. Journalism is not just dead, it's nonexistent.

"After her death, officials from Ask.fm, a social media site where users can ask each other anonymous questions, found that 98% of the messages sent to Smith came from the same IP address as the computer she used."

So, the selfish lonely cunt tried to get people's attention and pity by posting mean messages about herself. When she didn't get the attention she wanted, she hung herself. Good riddance.
