Unfortunately, I don't think anywhere near enough responsibility is being taken for online behavior by the majority of people - adult or otherwise. I'm sure it is because they feel a sense of anonymity or even a sense of disconnection, but like others have said, the internet is forever. They might delete it from their own computers and think it's all good, but once it is out there - it's out there for good... or bad. But so far, there hasn't been much in the way of repercussions for the bad behavior, so they think it is okay to keep on doing it and escalate it further. With the rise of the internet, commonsense and decency have practically been flushed down the toilet.
