I'd be interested to see just how close the two parties ("victim" and "bully") actually come to physically interacting with one another. I've read a handful of case studies involving high school students but these stand out as, well, outliers. Also, please understand that I am using the term "victim" and "bully" very loosely. In 3 out of 4 studies I've found that both parties are actually "bullies" and that Facebook has only acted as an alternative medium for the behavior.

In short, the likelihood of physical repercussion is very slim from what I've seen.
