Operation: Embarass the Girl

Kids are cruel; we all get that.

At school, there's always assemblies on bullying. A rising threat in today's society is cyber-bullying/stalking. Just recently, two girls were arrested for the "stalking" of a minor under the age of 16. They created a fake Facebook profile, uploading inappropriate (some nude) pictures with the minor's face photo-shopped onto obscene images.

These two girls who allegedly created this fake profile thought it'd be funny; the poor victim was teased and tormented because of all the pictures and comments on the Facebook page. Boys are mean and violent, but girls can be just plain vicious.

We wonder why there is such a high depression rate and suicide rate amongst teenagers and young adults here in the United States - this is why. People don't respect each other anymore and the internet is often used as a means of targeting people anonymously. So these two girls call this kind of hoax a joke. I think it's a joke that they're making fun of their former "friend," but in the end, they were caught and they're in legal trouble. Did they really have nothing better to do with their time than to make a fake Facebook profile?

Somebody sounds a little insecure.
