[QUOTE="l4dak47"][QUOTE="NiKva"]This thread is here, too? Its her own fault for exposing her breasts to internet strangers, and the whole situation escalates because she didn't decide to just delete "friends" off of her facebook, call the cops on the people harassing her (they could have gone to jail for child pornography), or just deleting her Facebook all together.Pirate700

bro, victim blaming is bad.

No, not seeing the entire picture is bad. This is what bothers me with a lot of people now is nothing is ever, at all, the fault of the person. Nobody is ever responsible for their own actions. We try to place all the blame on something or someone else. She made a ton of very idiotic decisions. Does that make the bullying ok, NO. But it also shouldn't remove her from any blame for her problems. The story is extremely sad but many people are victims of their own devices. Taking a step back and looking at the entire situation as a whole is what should be done.

I just don't see the point in deciding how much the victim should be blamed.

Still waiting for you to reply to my previous post, btw.

Pirate700

So saying we all dealt with it is pumping myself up? And I don't see your other post.

Yes. Regardless of semantics, it's clear from your posts in this thread that you consider yourself superior to the new generation in emotional fortitude. My other post:
Let's say she wasn't dead. Who would you suggest she talk to? It seems from the article that the police and teachers were aware of what was going on. VanHelsingBoA64

The point is this is a serious problem today. Whether it's the bullying, how people deal with it or the result. To only see the result and nothing else isn't helping anything.

]Tell her parents and have them deal with it. Or if it's really bad, and for some reason the school won't do anything you can always go to another school. It's drastic but it's a lot better than suicide.

But ultimately I agree with you, Pirate, you just gotta deal with it man. Kids are mean, fact of life, and overreacting and expelling kids over namecalling or even fighting is horrible imo. OK OK so a kid gave another kid a bloody nose, lets go ruin the bully's future by expelling him and sending him to Juvi. Freaking overreactino now.

Pirate700

Would you say that in cases such as this (where harassment continues over a long period of time), that it would be better for the victim's life be ruined through drug addiction, mental illness, suicide, etc?

Again, those aren't the only solutions.

I know. My point was that you can't just take into account the bully's future.

She also resorted to cutting... pain seeker? That's not a good solution either. She obviously didn't know how to handle stress if you resort to that.

It's easy to say it like that after the fact. Someone who is depressed regardless of the circumstances isn't in a right state of mind and isn't thinking properly. You saying she should just go see something is an obvious solution but how do you know she didn't try already? Besides, suicide is a sad, sad, thing and it takes someone incredibly strong to go through with it.

This is exactly my main point about looking to the root of the problem and not just the result. She clearly suffered from personal issues. Again, this in no way makes the bullying OK, but there are other issues which are at the root here but this story is spun into another bully story instead of what the core of the issue was.

Cool, post something substantial instead of knee-jerk replies. How is that twisted at all? Someone weak in the situation would just go on living and deal with it. This girl felt like she had no other options so she just killed herself. Suicide isn't something you can just do.

Exactly, I mean she cut herself for God sakes. It's one thing to EASE pain with drugs but another completely to directly harm yourself with knives. Cutting yourself doesn't ease any pain it's just plain self destructive.

I see your point but dude, it's still a bullying story. This girl had some innocent fun with some people that later on took advantage of her trust to blackmail her. How is that not bullying?

Someone weak would keep living, right... so the goal in life is to die as that is what makes you strong not to keep living and learning. Dying makes you strong. Great logic. Bravo.

I didn't say she wasn't bullied. I'm just tired of the bullying being seen as the root of problems with these kids when more often than not, as with this case, it isn't. Everyone should be against bullying but it's starting to hit the slippery slope where if you ever say anything nasty to anyone, you have to fear for your own legal well being because that person may do something to themselves. Our society has completed shifted all blame off individuals own actions and issues in recent times and, IMO, it's just as alarming as anything else.

Then don't say anything nasty to anyone and you'll be fine. I'm not gonna feel any sympathy for the abuser, ever, especially not in this situation. Are you against people owning to their own actions or something? Seems like asking kids to not act like total dickheads is too much. Your last sentence is weird, since this girl did nothing to warrant getting blackmailed, isolated in school, beat up by a group of people, nor bullied on the internet.

She wasn't beat up by a group of people. It was one person, with a group gathered to watch.

That wasn't the case.

"She put the next card almost flush with camera so that the viewer can no longer see her and only sees "After I got home all I saw on Facebook- She deserved it and did you wash the mud out of your hair? I hope she is dead."

She moved in with her mother in another city, to another school. But her past followed her.

Your solution is really to just never say anything that another person might not like? And I'm clearly not against people owning their own actions since that's my whole point. And of course she didn't deserve anything of this. I'm saying just blaming bullying for her suicide instead of her own depression and personal issues is ridiculously short sighted.

No, my solution is not to be terrible people towards each other. That's not the same as saying something that one might not like. Okay, so what caused her suicide if it wasn't bullying? She made it pretty clear that it was from the video and article.

Her depression caused it. Unless they actually made her kill herself, she did so on her own. Nobody made her do anything.

This doesn't sound like the kind of depression that something causes. This sounds a lot more like the mental illness. And spare me the 'are you trolling' shlt. You know me better than that.

Kind of? I mean fair enough, the girl made some mistakes, but they kind of pale in comparison to being persistently bullied for years on end? I guess we could tally things up and figure out exactly where this falls on the Objective Continuum of Blame, but that kind of sounds like a dickish way of finding out yep, turns out the blame almost entirely falls on the disturbing number of people who collectively bullied her to the point of suicide.

People that suffer from mental illness of depression aren't as such from outside sources. That's why it's an illness. The bullying can be what pushes someone over the edge but it's not what causes the depression. It's already there in these kinds of cases.

Meaning... what... you think blame must be pointed in one direction, and one direction only? I'm not seeing many people (if any) claim that the bullies are blameless.

Slow_Show

Kind of? I mean fair enough, the girl made some mistakes, but they kind of pale in comparison to being persistently bullied for years on end? I guess we could tally things up and figure out exactly where this falls on the Objective Continuum of Blame, but that kind of sounds like a dickish way of finding out yep, turns out the blame almost entirely falls on the disturbing number of people who collectively bullied her to the point of suicide.

Don't you think the "dickish" way is more responsible than taking a tragic story full of important details and grossly over-simplifying it all down to "Bullies did it"?

Not always. If your gold fish dies and you're depressed, you have depression. And I said it was an illness in the second sentence.

]Tell her parents and have them deal with it. Or if it's really bad, and for some reason the school won't do anything you can always go to another school. It's drastic but it's a lot better than suicide.

lo_Pine

It's easy to say it like that after the fact. Someone who is depressed regardless of the circumstances isn't in a right state of mind and isn't thinking properly. You saying she should just go see something is an obvious solution but how do you know she didn't try already? Besides, suicide is a sad, sad, thing and it takes someone incredibly strong to go through with it.

Wow, lol. You have a very twisted view of strong and weak.

Try putting a gun to your head and erasing everything and everyone you ever saw or met.

It is not easy to go through with suicide. People say it is an easy way out. It's not.

In this case it was most definitely a mental illness. There's being "depressed" and then there's being clinically depressed. This girl had the latter and felt like there was nothing else to do in that situation so she just killed herself. Is she partly to blame? No, because people whom are clinically depressed need help because they're not in control of their actions.

K but ceasing to exist does not make you strong. And if you want to take yourself away from everyone who loves and puts effort into your life you are a selfish ass making people wonder the rest of their life what they could have done.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]Her depression caused it. Unless they actually made her kill herself, she did so on her own. Nobody made her do anything.

Is this a joke or are you trolling? And what caused her depression and anxiety? Those kids bullying her. :|

I love this line of logic because it's SO wrong. You wanna know what's selfish? Expecting someone else to live through their pain just for other people.

No, you said she was partly to blame because she didn't "deal with it" or whatever and I disagree with that strongly.
