People are raised differently today, a lot of kids worlds revolve around the internet (at least indirectly) through myspace, facebook, and other social networks. This makes a severe disconnection with the family, so kids who do revolve around the internet a lot may feel neglected and unwanted, so it makes sense that when internet friends (real or not) dislike her they feel alone in the world, and I sympathize with that. Does that mean the cyber bullies aren't jerks? No. But it does mean, that despite the media's efforts to blame everything on people on the internet, the root of all this is in fact the internet itself, but what drives a child to love the internet is being, or feeling rejected by friends in real life. Like I've said before, when you go to the internet to escape real life you'll probably end up more hurt in the end. I think that people are getting too attached to this surreal cyber world where they can be whoever they want. Where they don't have to be shy and timid. Where they can be ten feet tall, but then you get these people who cut that down and it's like cutting out a last life line for some people. When you do that, life isn't worth anything anymore.

Some people are tougher than others, think about this, you're a male (I don't know how old you are) assuming you're at least 15 or so. She was a girl (already emotional) and this was a young one at that. She isn't mature enough to understand that some people are just jerkoffs, and she really hangs on to the words she hears or sees. Especially if she was attached to the internet like that. It's an emotional catastrophe every time she loses a friend on the internet, point being anyways: If you're someone who doesn't have friends in the real world, and you rely on internet friends to feed the hole that leaves it's real ****ing hard to recover when they tear away just for the sake of having a good laugh.

Oh yeah i read almost the whole story and its pretty sad. How could those adults do something like that? I would go crazy if I was the father of that girl that committed suicide. It's sad how low people stoop these days. They should get locked up for realz. | |

| Gunzfactorian Hero | SHADOWY CYBERSPACE So...the parents had access and were monitoring her heavily? How did they miss the N for neglected and shut her off right there? AX AND SLEDGEHAMMER! "(She) felt this incident contributed to Megan's suicide, but she did not feel 'as guilty' because at the funeral she found out 'Megan had tried to commit suicide before.'" Wait what..? They keep emphasizing that FINAL MESSAGE and how they never had access to it. Granted, no one really saves myspace messages on the hard drive but there's always a copy on the account itself. Since they had access to previous conversations and such I don't see why Megan would take the time to delete something and then continue to be in a saddened rage of suicide. |

I really couldn't care less for people like that. The world doesn't need people like that. So i guess killing themselves in a strange way is them doing their part in making the world a better place. This is why we can't have nice things. | |

| Gunzfactorian Hero | Right, because never mind that if she had been treated properly she might have grown to become the next great scientist, who may have discovered a way to save you money on gas (to get personal, since I know you could probably care less if she could become a doctor or something). In any case, ever human deserves a shot at life, and ending it prematurely is just wrong. |
