She just got out of a mental facility last week. Terrible what kids say and do. The internet escalates it 100 fold




Isnt it sad that her parents had no answer for her? Nor did this girl go to her parents with her problem in the first place. A sad day. Parents and their children are being raised by technology and dump all their problems on stranger psychologists. This isnt sustainable.

As my kids are getting older, I am terrified by these sort of things. Especially for my baby girl.

I don’t think I was ever bullied, but I experienced hateful mean girl crap as most other girls did at some point during junior high and high school. I remember how much it broke my heart and made me feel like my world was ending. Can’t imagine that same mean girls stuff being broadcast to everyone in school via fb or Snapchat.

Is the answer not letting them have smart phones and social media accounts? I’ve been strict about my kids thus far; neither kid has an iPad (or access to mine), iPhone, and if ever they play on the phone it’s golf clash, Netflix app to watch “wheels on the bus”, or a word game I play with my son. Which I think is too much but limited a few times/week.
