I hate people
I saw this on the news this morning.
Cliff notes: a young girl who lost her leg to bone cancer was being cyber-bullied. It turns out that her "best friend" was the culprit. Nice, huh? I swear, they should start charging the parents when things like this happen; maybe then they'd teach their kids not to be sociopaths.
If we ever have a kid, I hope pray we have a boy, because girls can be just terrible to each other.
Sigh.

Re: I hate people
When I first read the subject to this post I thought, "hey, me too!" - ha!
This is a really awful story. I've seen so many bully/cyber-bully stories lately. It's just appalling. High school was hard enough without all this technology. I can't even imagine being there now.

Heh. If it's any consolation, I hate people most of the time. Maybe I should have titled it, "I hate stupid, vile, POS people and their slacker POS parents." Just to differentiate between this and my daily loathing.
I was just so horrified when I heard the story this morning.
Haha!
In all seriousness, though, I completely agree. I can't even imagine what type of person could/would do something like this. Very sad.
I hope Justine (I think that's her name?) recovers from it, and realizes what a POS her "friend" is and is able to quickly find a new group of friends who treat her the way she should be treated.
Also, I admire her strength for going on television to talk about it!

For real. I can only pray that my kids are not bullies or bullied.
Exactly. The fact that she skyped with her as she did it just to see the reaction proves it. I hope the family finds a way to take her to court and get some sort of restitution out of this. And I hope that girl gets help.
I saw this last night on Fox....made me sick to my stomach. That is right near my house. A few of the teachers in my school have daughters there. It just shows that these actions are not always in the "troubled inner cities" North Andover is a wealthy town with well-to-do families and this is sickening. The punishment is so not acceptable....8-10 counseling sessions? Seriously? I am so infuriated by this.
