Hi Alishia88: Yes, there are trolls everywhere on the internet... people who just seem to take pleasure in tearing others down for no good reason. I've been on YouTube for a couple of years now. I also have a Google+ account.

On YouTube, I have found that, if you can find a like-minded group &, for the most part stick with them, you can pretty much avoid most of the trolls. When I do unwittingly step on one or one tries to jump out at me from some unforeseen hiding place, I just ignore them. They go away. And if in the unlikely event they don't, I could always block them. I've never had to do that.

The friendships I've made on YouTube have been well worth the little bit of inconvenience I've encountered from trolls. They're a sad lot. So we can feel sorry for them, but not invite them in...
