Was kids trolling each other?

[LinkxPeach]

Before trolling exists online in year 2006, boys would say cruel things to each other, and provoke people. Do you think kids was trolling each other? Invented trolling? Or, predicted trolling online? Because I believed that kids are responsible for people becoming internet trolls.

I think all kids troll and bully. Always have and always will. It's how we get thick skin through banter. The internet just made it more so with keyboard warriors. Because in real life the skinny kid who got picked on usually would just take it because the bigger guys would beat his ass if he slaughtered them with his wits and sarcasm. Now they can do it safely behind a screen without fear of losing their teeth. It is nothing new.
