a girl killed herself because there was a bulletin on myspace that said she was an embarrasment to her friends

so officers are going school to school to make an attempt to prevent "cyber bullying", apperently they think it was myspaces fault that she is dead, and she isn't emotionally unstable.

this is the dumbest thing ever. making one situation a big event, and spreading the word.

the officers even said this:

"we aren't trying to prevent you from getting on myspace, we are just trying to make you aware"

but they still go on with rants about how unsafe it is, how an online predator can slip through a private profile, or a cyber bully could lead you to hang yourself in a closet!

Mr. Stockbroker
"As a matter of opinion though possibly retarded WVpeach is still smarter than you. LOL"

cyber bullying can be very serious and there are no clear plans on how to address and deal with the issue. poor kid

Obviously, the girl was mentally weak.

I don't have a problem with educating school kids about the dangers of the internet, myspace in particular. I think it is good to prepare them for the 'drama' that they may face.

I don't think it is myspace's fault the girl is dead. Bullying is not anything new to society. However, preparing kids for the cruelty that happens online isn't necessarily blaming anything/anybody.

The kid was obviously mentally...feeble, she probrably had trauma earlier in her life.
