When I think of Internet trolls, I think of people who don't have anything better to do with their life but bring other people down. They stop at nothing just to get a rise out of their target. To me a troll is a cyber bully in the worst form. Trolls intentionally hurt others, they comment and send messages that are deliberately mean and hateful. It's not necessarily easy to ignore or avoid online trolls. They're literally everywhere and come back like a virus stronger and harder to ignore. So how do you respond to trolls? Well it all depends on the type of person you are. Someone timid tends to not respond to them going only to the extent of blocking the troll. On the other hand, an outspoken person can easily stand up to their aggressors. I think that trolls are a product of our internet society.

I agree with you on the part where they try and bring others down. It really is sad that someone who has nothing good going for them, try and bring others down. Your right on it not being easy to ignore internet trolls, they are literally everywhere and on every application out there. Many people deal with it by ignoring, deleting, or blocking the hateful messages, and other people, who are a little crazier, will go about it by instigating them to comment more, or at least say something face to face. If your going to be big and bad, do it in person and don't hide behind a screen. :)

I agree with you Jess. Trolls try to find a way to hurt you with the rude comments and put they input into something that you post. They feel safer behind a screen. They have to be really rude and put other people down .
