Cyber Bullying :(

I am not surprised that some here just don't seem to "get it" when it comes to this issue. A quick look at the behavior here over the past year and the picture becomes clear.

Do you even know how the attorneys on the other side of the case, had she pursued legal action, would have crucified her? In order to prove the bullies were "justified" the attorneys would be out to prove the girl brought it all on herself. In most cases like this, because of our screwed up legal system, the victim winds up worse than when legal sanctions began. It comes down to actions versus actions and if doubt can be shown then the bullies get away with it all. She tried to hold her head high and move on, but they wouldn't let her. I hope the families of the bullies understand the parents are liable and by allowing their children t act like this they are equally as reprehensible.

Ever since the case of Megan Meyers I have been keenly aware of how wretched our world has become, where people can stalk and manipulate children with little fear of the consequences if they do it with enough buffer.

In my mind these people who use any intermediary to bring emotional or physical harm to another are no less guilty then someone hiring a hit man to take a life. Yes the hit man pulled the trigger, but he was little more then the weapon directed by another.

Children and adults are very vulnerable to this more so each day because far to many are willing to turn a blind eye or put it on the victim. Such are people dangerously close to the social elitism that men like hitler tried to make the world bow before.

The world more then ever needs people to stand up and band together against indifference and apathy. More then ever the world needs super heroes.

To paraphrase a section of James Gordons Eulogy for bruce wayne from the Dark Knight Strikes Again.

There is no room in our wretched little world for a man who sees far and who sets wrongs right. We're chubby,coddled little things, content. Well-fed. Bruce Wayne a hero wasnt so goddamned accommodating as we are. Bruce Wayne saw something wrong, he punched it out. He threw it through a window. He stomped its face in. He stopped it cold.

We are in trouble deep. We need him.

We need a hero!

All I'm gonna say is that in my opinion anyone that lays any blame on that poor girl are worse criminals than the pedophile and bullies that drove her to commit suicide because they are encouraging these things to continue happening by making excuses.

Remember the old days when bullies would just beat you up on the playground for your lunch money?

I really wish people started valuing privacy more than their social status. Posting pics, stories, videos, etc. of yourself for all the world to see opens you up to ****** up stalkers who enjoy torment.

As an adult, if you make that choice then you're an idiot, but it's your own business. However, teens have no business using these sites. They're not mature enough to understand the consequences or deal with them. Unfortunately for this girl, that realization came too late.

If I had a picture of you flashing me pre-facebook how would I have gotten to send it to everyone?

If this girl was an adult and all this happened would you say she 'should have known better'?

Do you think teens are mature enough to handle the power of social networking?

If I was a creeper trolling for nude teen pics where would I find them pre-facebook?

You can sit there and yell at me all you want. The fact remains that this type of deviant behavior and the calamities that can result are due to the ability of people to send/access personal info 24-7.

I think there is a segment of people that just don't understand that how they handled or were able to handle something emotionally and mentally traumatic has no/zero bearing on how someone else can/will handle these issues.

Having been a part of this community since I8, I am not one bit surprised in some of the positions being taken here. I mean lets be real we have cyber bullies in this community and have had them for years.
