Jai604 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Absolutely incorrect. I most certainly care when a young person's life is ended unnecessarily and I believe that many others in this thread (BB, 'Coaster, CJ, Wizdom, theminister, Dellins, Jai, Pimp, etc) feel the same way. Just because you don't care, it doesn't mean that you have to attempt to paint the rest of us as hypocrites, just so you can feel better about your own callousness.

Gerg Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've often wondered how the bullying problem has gotten so bad lately, but I always assumed that it was because of social media allowing the bullies to continue their harassment outside of school boundaries, however, the lack of empathy shown by so many people in this thread tells me that the problem goes much deeper.

Dral Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I might sound a little harsh, but this is getting ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, this is a tragedy. But the problem is, with what happened with Amanda Todd, bullied teens are realizing that, by committing suicide, they can get an ultimate revenge on their bullies. They'll be worshipped like they were some saint, and those kids that bullied them will get a taste of their own medicine, with these death threats yelled at them. The dead kid will have died knowing they ruined their tormentors lives, with a horrible guilt that will probably haunt the (in this case, football team,) to their own grave. The teen who died, however tragic a life they had, will become popular, LOVED, something they think no one ever showed them while they were alive. I'm sorry if I sound judgemental, and I don't pretend to know what was going through these kids heads, but I just wish people could care about these kids while they're still alive, and not make these useless facebook memorial pages when they die. R.I.P. Felicia Garcia and Amanda Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I said it may be a "contributing factor" as to why some kids are seemingly having more trouble with it. Didn't mention it had anything to do with why they're bullied or that they should "suck it up" or any similar sentiment. I'm on your side. Please step down from the soap box...I'll even give you a hug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well, I happen to seriously care about this. But does anyone care that I care? Why not, you insensitive prck, you? My tears are falling on my keyboard here. PS. It's amazing how many of these type of threads, instead of discussing the issue at hand, goes onto debate why you should all be sensitive to the thread's topic or not. So what if someone on the other side of the internet is insensitive? It doesn't concern you. At the same time, why do you think that a person who is insensitive to these issues would pull a complete 180 and start caring about you calling them insensitive? Yes, there is a certain level of respect to be shown in these thread regarding sensitive topics, but if you don't spend time on the actual subject itself and instead point the finger at others for being insensitive, then you're really no better than a troll who is sensitive. What's ironic is that while these posters claim to be holier than thou with regards to these sensitive topics, they have no problem belittling those on these boards who do not fall directly in line with their own particular ethical rules for posting. Are you not aware that you might be hurting somebody's feelings? (If they cared?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You know this bullying suicide crap is largely the Social media's fault... I mean 10 years ago, these kinds of things were rare... For example right now when I go to youtube to watch some videos there's actually top videos that involve teens holding cards just like Amanda Todd. I mean come on, I'm not trying to be insensitive, but its' gone a bit far now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerg Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Does anyone really know what the answer is? It's fairly self explanatory that awareness and education just do not work. I have been 'aware' and been 'educated' about bullying since grade school. We were taught not to do it, plain and simple. Something along the lines of, how would you feel if you were the bullied one. I guess maybe back then it felt like there actually could be a consequence for doing something bad. This sentiment is lost today. Rarely do teens get in trouble for anything it seems. I don't have the answer either but a good start would be to get rid of dependence on social media that has manfiested in recent years. Easier said than done but it sure is easy to use twitter or facebook to harrass someone. On top of that, all these accounts are linked to your phone so escaping it is impossible. I am surprised these tragic events have taken so long to rise to prevalence given that facebook has been around for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMash Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Peer pressure is the thing that makes kids smoke cigarettes, do drugs and read pornographic magazines by the time they reach middle school. As countless PSAs and after-school specials taught us, we must teach our kids to be themselves and never give two halves of a frack about what their "friends" think.

BZRK Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 She made some sh*tty choices, and you have to deal with the consequences. Should this have happened? Absolutely not.
