Online Bullying Cuts Deeper Than People See

Online bullying is painful because it doesn’t end at school. It follows you home, onto your phone, into your mind. A single comment can stick with you for days, making you question your worth.

People think online words are “just jokes,” but your brain responds to them as real threats. You’re not too sensitive. You’re hurt — and that hurt is valid.

Bullies project their insecurities onto others. Their cruelty is about their own pain, not your value. But knowing that doesn’t make the sting disappear.

You don’t have to face this alone. Screenshot, block, talk to someone safe, take breaks. Protecting your mental health isn’t weakness — it’s strength.

Your worth is not determined by someone else’s insecurity.
