From what I have read it seems a lot of people agree with me on this subject. What I had said was that the lady who created a MySpace account under the name “Josh Evans” in order to find out about what Megan Meier, the girl affected by this, thought about her daughter , who were friends at some point.
Ali Minaian said “
The thought of a grown adult messing with a young girl is very disturbing. Whether it is in real life, or behind a computer, she was one way or another harassing this little girl.” It really is disturbing when an adult abuses a child whether it is physical, verbal, or any form. Adults shouldn’t get involved in what I believe are silly things that kids might not remember in 10 years.
I also agree with
Roland Corpuz who says “
I believe that it comes down to parenting. If Megan had a disorder and her parents knew that she was mentally unstable, why did they allow her to get involved with someone in the first place?” First of all “Josh” was sixteen while Megan was thirteen. Second is that she was depressed and had self-esteem problems. With this in mind why did they continue letting her go on MySpace if they knew something was wrong. Megan’s parents could’ve prevented the tragic ending that happened.
“
When I first heard about this, I was shocked. You would think in our society that parents would be much more responsible than to pick on and ridicule a 13-year-old girl” is what
Evelyn Lee said in her blog. This is pretty much the same thing I was thinking except there was more profanity when I said it in my head. Seems like America is getting more and more immature every day; some evidence of this are shows like Jackass. I like the show, but then again I can also be immature. The show is about some guys going around causing havoc, doing pranks, and hurting each other for our entertainment. If the adults aren’t mature and responsible, chances are that their kids won’t be either.
Lastly
Hannah says “
Teenage girls are very mean to each other and say nasty things about one another all the time. Being a teenager is a very vulnerable time in one's life - you feel like you don't fit in, people judge and pick at you constantly, you are uncomfortable in your own skin, you feel like you can trust no one. This is why so many teenage girls face depression.” You might recognize this as boys will be boys. Kids will be cruel to each other especially during their teen years when changes happen and they’re trying to find out who they are. The best thing for parents to do here is talk with their children.
