I know this sounds cliche as fuck, but I honestly have no clue what could drive someone to behave like this. I just don't get it. I literally do not understand how somebody can get enjoyment out of this. It completely confounds me.

Anonymity and the inherent bad in all of us can combine together for some stellar effects.
"trolls"
I swear its becoming the number one misused word today, this is just being a giant dick to someone.
There's definitely a mental illness behind somebody who actually can think of nothing better to do than harass somebody over the internet, let alone keep going after there was a suicide involved? Who is this pathetic? And when did "troll" go from an instigating asshole looking for cheap laughs on the internet to a fucking full-blown sociopath?
Also it must suck for the mother to be put through this shit though

That's not what I mean though. Anonymity or not, at what point does the switch flip in the brain to make "kid dying = funny?"

Some people just have fucked up mindsets.
I've seen people on other sites say that people who commit suicide have "shit for brains" and other things. I think it maybe part of the whole "internet manliness" thing.

I don't think they think that someone died is the fun part, but making people upset and get reactions is what's fun to them

This is the stock answer I always get to this question. I regret not preempting it because I knew someone would drop it. I don't know, I just don't find "it just is" to be a satisfying answer.

It honestly just comes down to being unhappy about their life. Can you imagine a celebrity or someone successful going around doing this? It just doesn't happen.
They're not trolls they're insensitive assholes. Trolls don't bully, they annoy.
Trolling is a art.
I thought maybe trolls were trolling the mother of a Suicide Girl as in the pin up girls. This was further reinforced when I saw the name Izzy Dix. I didn't realize what I was reading until I saw hanging :(
[QUOTE]Ms Dix complained to police about edited images of Izzy, along with abusive comments and encouragement to others to take their own lives.[/QUOTE]
Some people have such disgusting attitudes toward people. It's sick.
anonymity can be a good thing but at the same time it enables people to do horrible things to each other
[quote]An inquest into the death of Izzy heard she killed herself after an argument with her mother.
However, her family and friends blamed cyber-bullying and began a campaign against it.
But the inquest at Torquay Coroner's Office heard there had been "no evidence of cyber bullying" aimed at the teenager.[/quote]
Not that I condone these shitheads tormenting her, but fucking wow.
I thought Suicide girl as in those adult models

A couple of studies found a correlation between heavy trolling and sadism. I don't think it's out of bounds to assume that the people who troll the families of suicide victims have some form of personality disorder.

Modern performance art has more artistic merit than trolling.
