I find it funny how many comments on here are talking about how because she was 12 at the time she shouldn't be judged because apparently we start thinking for ourselves around age 30 these days.
I'll say that her parents may have dropped the ball, but who knows? One of my best friends has always been introverted and the like her whole life, around her family anyways. Her parents asked her questions about school,life,etc., and she'd deflect them pretty well, so they didn't know anything about her life outside of school because most of my friends have family businesses and were taught to be pretty damn independent from around age 4 onwards. What I'm saying is, all we've been given is that she moved schools a couple times because of incessant "bullying", which these days is, let's face it, anything that remotely involves touching or waggling of your tongue at anyone other than the person at the front of the class writing on a squeaky chalkboard is labeled as. I'm not saying her parents have no fault in it, but we don't know all the circumstances.
She didn't have the common sense to think, "hey, a stranger, I've got stuff covering my boobs for a reason, right? And now he wants me to show them? Doesn't exactly seem legit."
She slept with someone's significant other, and although highschool stuff are most of the shallower relationships out there, there's plenty of people that take them much more seriously than we take a bomb duct-taped,super- and gorilla-, glued to our crotch with thirty seconds left on the timer. Again, she exhibits symptoms of attentionado whoringness, and obviously doesn't think anything through, or she does and doesn't care about the possible consequences. Either are equally stupid in my book.
Now, while I'm not going to come out and say she deserves to die, she could easily benefit from a few smacks to the head to see if she comes out of that mindset.
Now, the school should've stepped in, but there's only so much they can do, most schools only have a limited staff, cameras can't catch everything, and I've yet to see one that doesn't have at least three blatant blindspots anyone with half a brain could see, and most places I've seen, if you have three people that say the guy with bloody knuckles didn't beat the only bleeding kid on campus, then it didn't happen, doesn't matter if they're sports or not(because I know the first argument against that coming). I see posts on here talking about school counselors, which in my experience are one to four people that have to keep up with at the very least, a hundred people, each. Add into that the fact that going to see them during school hours nets you more ire from the school than it does if you just soldier on and take the hits. Going before school might not have possible, buses are late regularly for one reason or another all the time, and after school is almost impossible to get anyone to listen to you, if simply for the reason that schedules don't allow for much time for a majority of school employees.
In short, sorry that she decided to off herself, but she had plenty of chances to quit what she was doing(if the four different articles I read hold any amount of truth) and close that facebook page, zip up her skivvies, walk the other way, ignore the jabs, or hell, even going period-rage and ripping some girl's hair out in the middle of school. Sure it might get you in trouble with the school, but it'll do quite a bit to your image if people think you're a crazy mother that could snap any second.
Now, I know I'm drawing quite a bit from my own experience in terms of school employee crap, and it might not be the same up wherever it was she lived, but personal responsibility is an invaluable commodity that is in short supply here in this age. She should've thought out a bit more than "lol, flash a stranger I met online, nothing bad could come of this at all."
Wow.....that turned out quite a bit longer than I expected it to be....anyways, I think I've actually just repeated everything that's been said in the thread so....conversation end?
