hello guys this is regarding "myspace" what you do you think about it? thanks?

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071203/ap_on_re_us/internet_suicide

guys, so from my understanding you have to have serious mental stamina to stay on myspace and no to be bullied. that's basically what this girl didn't have?

I'm not big fan of myspace, actually i'm really against. i don't blame myspace either. Person or people who are in social networking site like that must have social skills.

regarding the law, I realy don't know if there will be any laws regarding minors on cyberspace social network sites.

Answer 1

I hate it when people blame everyone but themselves. It's not myspace's fault or those other kids that were making fun of her. She did it to herself and her parents should have done a better job. Obviously they weren't paying that much attention to her if they didn't even realize that she was depressed and feeling that way. It's lazy parenting and mental instability that's all. If everyone killed themselves everytime they got a nasty e-mail or letter, we'd all be dead.

Answer 2

It's not what I thought it was. I thought you could make friends on it and also strengthen other ties you already had, but it's just a thing to do if you have the time and also it's a good way for predators to come after you.... I'm only still on there coz I might be friends with people on there or can see what my sis is into, and also coz I still have a bit of unextinguished hope, and want to get a crowd of people to share stuff with.

As for the article you pointed out.

The girl had issues. So did the people doing the teasing. It is not really their fault what she did; HOWEVER, they should be still be charged with something because what they did was perpetrate a fraud, and myspace is supposed to be against that.

Answer 3

Most of the guys I know who are married or in relationships don't cheat if they love their partner. No self respecting person would stay with an habitual cheater. You sound like you love your guy, but if he has cheated on you more than once (I might forgive 1 mistake, depending on the circumstances) then you should cut him loose. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior (Dr. Phil). Respect yourself enough to be with someone who will treat you the way you should be treated, there are lots of us out there. If he is a sex addict he should be seeking help, especially if he wants his marriage to last. Even if he is an addict there are ways for him to satisfy his needs without cheating on the person that he is supposed to love. He is using that as an excuse and it sounds like you are buying into it. Don't. If you continue to allow him to make you sad, lonely and miserable it will only get worse and he won't be able to understand why you are suddenly turning on him if you decide later that you can't do it anymore. You know what you need to do. You just have to muster up the courage to do it. You will be much happier very quickly if you stop feeling dependent on him. Life is good - don't let someone else continue to make it hard on you. I wish you luck. I just read the part where you said that you have had six kids with him. That makes it even worse. Kids are not stupid - they know that their father is making their mother sad even if they don't know the details (which they will know someday no matter how hard you try to hide it). They will also come to learn from their father that it is OK to treat other people badly. If you are a good mother, you need to protect them from that kind of education. You talk about your weight after kids, he didn't marry your body, he married your soul. Don't allow him to use weight as a weapon - is he exactly the same physical person that you married? I sincerly doubt it. Even if he is, he now has an ugly quality that he didn't have hen you got married - he is a cheater. I stick by my previous statement. RUN - quickly.

Answer 4

A 13 year old should not be allowed to use myspace, Megan and her mother said that Megan was 16. They created a false profile because myspace says you must be 16. I find something creepy about a mother allowing a 13 year old girl to connect with an unknown boy on myspace. Equally creepy is the adult down the street who created the false profile.

Answer 5

I don't think the fake profile was intended to physically hurt anyone...but why someone as old as 18 and a mother would mess around with a 13 year old girl is not only immature and cruel but I ask myself, why? I'm back and forth with this one. Also the neighbor and the 18 year old knew that the child down the street was only 13, even though her web page said she was 16, so they cant use that excuse to get out of it.

Answer 6

First, I like your idea of seeking comments about real news articles... it harkens back to the Yahoo News chatrooms of 2000-2004ish, before that was eliminated (for this)...

I believe that while there's 0-ways that we can know why this girl did this -- there IS EVIDENCE that this dopey boy was in fact bullying/abusing/harassing her.. and should have been charged accordingly on those lesser charges.. ABSOLUTELY.

Answer 7

I think it's fine. The mother of the girl who sent these messages is a detestable Breeder to the 1000th degree, but it's not their fault that Megan was some whiny Emo kid who couldn't take a joke. Besides, since she committed suicide she obviously had much bigger issues besides some prank.

Answer 8

The mother and the employee who created that profile are pretty messed up. They should be thrown in jail.

Answer 9

I never go there ----- or use that service.
It is (in my opinion) a "Hunter"s Trap" -------
Same (in my opinion)as Youtube ------.
Neither has anything that I want --- and can be dangerous , by prediators. No Thanks --- don"t need them.

Answer 10

awwww that is so messed up. this is a good example for why people shouldn't tease others.
