Default Re: Adults dupe teen into MySpace-assisted suicide

gump,

Maybe Alobar isn't saying that. I don't know. I know what I'm saying and it seems that the lot of you don't seem to see where I'm coming from.

You keep talking about how we're talking about kids doing it to other kids, etc. I'm not. I'm saying that what makes this incident particularly pathetic is the fact that it was an adult doing it. I don't think that it's any more harmful (necessarily) to the victim because it is an adult. However, when you look at the intentions of a [bully child vs. bully adult] against a victim child, you're talking about some leagues of difference here.

I am getting the impression that some of you aren't considering it to be all that different from the tormentor's side. That is the best I can do at the moment to respond to your "huh?"

And I'm not saying it's "standard kid stuff." I do think that it is much much worse if an adult is doing it.
