I was bullied heavily in school. From an age of about 12, the Internet was my only source of social exposure. Without it, I would have had no friends and no one to talk to except schoolchildren who hated me. Pretty good chance I'd have ended up dead or worse.

Folks these days are yelling about how chat harms kids, but I couldn't disagree more. When I was a kid, chat saved my life.
