Most educational sites dont encourage abrasive language. and I can actually socialize in person so I dont need Facebook (even though I have one and I use it very often) and I dont own a Twitter or an Instagram. I can block any number I dont want to get calls or text messages from. Life is good.

You don't
need the internet, but you are severly limiting yourself by constantly avoiding any and all social media websites and forums. And even
if you avoid those, then you are still limiting yourself just to avoid being bullied, which means it still has an effect on you.
Whatever way you look at it, it's a real thing. Either you avoid any and all websites that has a social aspect, or you get bullied. Either way it affects you in a negative way. Besides, the feeling of constantly having to avoid those websites also probably won't do much good to you.
I've never been cyber bullied myself, but I've seen it happen, and it's not as simple as "Ah well, no more internet for me anymore. Ever."
