This sure is a hot issue...
Bullying in schools, singling out kids who aren't "cool", or don't make the cut socially. It's all pretty nasty stuff which can leave many people shattered, and sometimes scarred for life.
Most of the people who are popular are only there because they are "tough", or are rich or good-looking. Its the way it works, and it is cruel.
I am fortunate enough to go to a good community school where there is very little bullying at all. It is always going to exist, but it is not nearly as bad as in some schools.
I guess I am seperated from the social standards a bit... lucky me.

Personally, I don't judge anyone upon what they look like on-line (it is pretty hard to), I am more concerned with what people say. I would like to say this is true of RL, but I don't think it is all of the time unfortunately.

Well thats my two sense (or was it cents?)
