My Space

My3LilMonkeys replied: I read that too yesterday and I was just shocked....what could that mother have been thinking? I can't understand what would make a grown woman act that way.

stella6979 replied: I read this the other day and it made me so angry.
All the more reason that kids shouldn't have myspace pages.

gr33n3y3z replied: Well you just dont know any more
But then again when Erin had problems I would have so loved to get into peoples heads to see what makes these girls tick and be so mean.
But why an male image? She knew what she was doing and I hope they prove it

lisar replied: OMG. For a mother to do that. I wouldnt let my kids do some crap like that much less myself. Thats just wrong. I hope that mother and those girls realize exactly what they done and now they have to live with that for the rest of their lives. My heart goes out to her family.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: That is sooo sad. I struggled with my weight when I was younger..I never had braces, but I had very thick very curly hair... and my parents thoght it was cute for me to wear it like an afro. I also had very thick glasses. People thought is was hilarious to chuck spitballs and gum at my head on the school bus. They thoght it was hilarious to pretend to be my friend and then blow me off.

I spent a good couple of years being very lonely. I can relate to how the girl must have felt... to be "abandonned" and then someone suddenly shows interest... and blows her off. The thoughts that must have been in that poor girl's head...

luvmykids replied:
Me too, and it was so cruel.

The thought that another parent was involved is just sickening, that mother is just as immature as her daughter and should be ashamed of herself.

Calimama replied:
How sad, that mother should be punished

I bet those guys would be tripping all over themselves now to get your number. You're gorgeous!

A&A'smommy replied: This is horrible... how can any mother set up another child no matter what was said or done. I remember being a teenager and it sucked most of the time especially at 13. My heart breaks for her parents and I hope that woman gets what is coming to her...

jcc64 replied: Whoa, that is just, I'm just....speechless. Talk about a case of arrested development. That stage of horrible relational aggression between girls is usually short-lived, thankfully, and I'm blown away that a parent would actually encourage it. I'm flabbergasted, and afraid for that time when my own little girl has to navigate the minefield of adolesence.

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
aww, thanks

gr33n3y3z replied:
short lived??
It was so long lived with Erin 4 years in high school and still going on with the little witch to this day beleave it or not so they are not all short lived

amymom replied:
I don't think it ever ends... Some teens just grow into mean women....



AN EXAMPLE

jcc64 replied: You're right- that is the first thing I thought of- that these 'women' were acting like catty high school girls. Why are women, and it does seem to be a female trait, so ruthless with each other? I've never been able to understand it, even as a young girl myself. I always removed myself from situations that had the potential to develop into that witchy agressive stuff. I had lots of friends, but deliberately avoided the groups for just that reason.
Now that I'm going to become a high school teacher, I really want to understand more about that part of being female, since half of my kids will be girls, and I'm sure it will be an intrinsic part of my job.

gr33n3y3z replied:
exactly like some of the ones here

Crystalina replied:
These are prime examples as to why alot of the kids grow up the way they do nowadays. I believe that common sense & compassion (among many other things) should start in the home and with snide ruthless, childish and hateful women like this raising children what can you expect?

Karma...one way or another.

That is what I said to Erin
