    That poor little girl. :(



    "God grant me the serenity
    to accept the things I cannot change;
    courage to change the things I can;
    and wisdom to know the difference.

    Living one day at a time;
    Enjoying one moment at a time;
    Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
    Taking, as He did, this sinful world
    as it is, not as I would have it;
    Trusting that He will make all things right
    if I surrender to His Will;
    That I may be reasonably happy in this life
    and supremely happy with Him
    Forever in the next.
    Amen. "

    --Reinhold Niebuhr

    From what I could tell, those parents didn't just let her aimlessly go online. Her access to MySpace got revoked when she used false pictures of herself, and rightfully so. As this girl seems to have had mental issues, it could have been anything that triggered her, but it doesn't make the people involve any less of assholes for it.

    This poor girl. I feel for her. :(

    That's what a link it for. Plenty of people have gotten the jist of a TLDR article without quoting the whole block of text. :shrug:

    It's too late now, though.

    The parents of the dead girl would be the prime suspects.

    The parents are fucked. Getting divorced, emotionally scared...


    I wouldn't blame them if they went on a murder-suicide into the neighbors house...

    Those people down the block took everything from them, and they don't give a shit.

    If I were in their shoes, I can't say that I wouldn't do that very thing.

    Minus the suicide part.

    The assholes that drove a child to killer herself in the original article just reminds me of something I've long believed:

    Some people just need killin'.

    Yep. The preferred format is quote, link, summary and finally comment.

    Those are the two parts that bothered me. 13 is way way too young to 'like boys' in that sense, but rather she should have just tried to make friends with everyone. I was 'girl crazy' as well at that age, but I never tried to get their 'attention' nor was I trying to get 'emotional' with them. 'Physical activities' were there, yes, but nothing emotional.

    About her being heavy, I would say it is the parents' fault entirely. A child will want to eat only tasty (read: fat laden) food. I know this because I was like that myself. Thankfully I never reached beyond a proportional weight because my parents always consciously cared on what I was eating every day.

    Sweets at night? Fine. Just dont ask for it in the morning, not till next evening at least.

    Had a pizza and two cans of Pepsi for lunch? Good. Now have this mishmash of vegetables for dinner with some steamed rice and water only, no soda.

    That's how involved my mum and dad were about my calorie intake and that habit has now transferred into myself without supervision once I grew up.

    Whatever happened to this girl is terribly tragic. But nobody tried to murder her or physically harmed her. If she was feeling so bad by going online she could have just clicked her computer off and/or turned off her Internet messenger from MySpace and.... did something else.. perhaps play a game or watch a movie. She wanted attention when nobody was giving it to her, and when she did get it, it was from the wrong kind of people. However, that doesn't give anyone, not even a 13 y/o girl the excuse to take her life. I may sound harsh and cruel, but NOTHING in this world is worth taking your own life.

    Just my $10.

    did anyone else's blood boil when the parents down the street said they didn't feel so bad when they found out the girl had been suicidal before?

    Because some adults never actually grow up. They still think and act like a child.

    It is? Says who? I was making out with girls behind the swingset in kindergarten.

    Something tells me the perp parents will face a bloody fate someday. :bergman:

    I eagerly await that news. :borg:

    The more this story gets out, the more likely the chances the wheels will come full circle. I recommend forwarding it to everyone you know, somebody'll surely do the deed.

    I can't find the picture from the Newsweek article, but it was from several years ago and was titled "Who are your kids talking to online". And it had a picture of a gray clicking a mouse in front of a computer.

    Parents need to watch over their kids and also need to let them know not to take anything personally that is said over the internet.

    As do I. We can sit here and say "well she shoulda-woulda-coulda but in the end the results are there and the damage done. Tragic ending at the hands of someone who was known and trusted.

    I really have to hand it to the father for not murdering them all for it. I can't say 100% I could keep my cool in the same circumstances.

    Well, I'm gonna go ahead and say it.

    I had some serious self esteem issues when I was that age as well, but if I hanged myself every time someone pulled a dirty trick on me, I'd have been dead a couple dozen times over. :marathon:

    Don't get me wrong. Too bad for the kid and her family, and boo on those other pricks, but come on....there was a serious breakdown on the recieving end too.

    ^ I might've agreed with you 20-30 years ago. Seriously, there are a lot of issues at play here.

    But as a parent, I admit to having dark fantasies about what I'd do to people that would treat my kids like this.

    Too bad I am not from a broken marriage like yours to commit such stupidity, eh?

    ;)

    Here I am being just myself and you just had to restart that shit. But of course, *I* will be the one to be blamed as well, right?
