MySpace Suicide
posted on May 17th, 2008 by geehumshriber in Opinionated Fail
Who doesn’t feel sorry for the family of Megan Meir. Their daughter after being harassed mercilessly on Myspace by someone who she thought was a teenage boy by the name of Josh Evan, commits suicide.
We come to find out that the harassment was not by vicious, immature, uncaring Josh, which you could certainly argue happens all the time with teenagers in the real and cyberworld. This harassment however was actually allegedly being perpetrated by vicious, immature uncaring adult Lori Drew who set up a fake Myspace profile, posing as the young Josh Evans. Lori’s daughter was a long time friend of Megans
Just another reason I refuse to use MySpace.
It’s this kind of stuff that drives me up the wall. From what has been read, a innocent teen lives her life through a popular social website called MySpace. Some deranged woman, a PARENT, logs into MySpace and sets up a fake account for a “cyberboy” for the purpose of harassment. Not only this, but the parent, Lori Drew, has a daughter who is friends with Meier! I’d find it hard to live with my mother who was responsible for harassing my friends to the point of suicide. This is ridiculous.
I am not saying there should not be a special place in hell reserved for Lori Drew .
Oh, there are. While she’s alive, counseling and prison. When she dies, HELL.
