No, it's not only teenagers. Women, especially those espousing feminist views, are constant targets of MRA's especially.

Why do the people who are bullied not stop going online, or going on the forum? Why do some choose to kill themselves? (It seems to happen on a fairly regular basis.)
Some have stopped going online, but that's not a solution, that only lets the bullies win. As to why anyone would kill themselves over it, I haven't got a clue. Personally, I laugh at the bullies, and enjoy pointing out just how pathetic they really are. The angrier they get, the happier I feel.

What should the schools do? The parents? The schools mates? The forums? Anybody else?
School administrators, counselors and teachers should spend more time disciplining the bullies and less time disciplining the victims. If a bully punches another kid, it's seldom reported so he goes unpunished. If the kid fights back, however, he's given equal punishment to the bully, at least, if not more. Parents of bullies are sometimes a large part of the problem, insisting to the authorities that there child couldn't POSSIBLE be a bully, and then bullying the administration themselves. It's learned behavior, to some extent.

Is bullying bad upbringing, instinct, what: If instinct, what is it for? I mean, what it the point, in terms of evolution?
Actually, it's a part of the ingroup/outgroup psychology which has come about through evolution. Ingroup is good, outgroup is bad. When humans lived in small, scattered groups it had a significant survival value, since anyone not in the ingroup was a potential danger.
