    Why would she chill out? Is it because she backtraced it?

    ahahahahaha :D

    it's funny because consequences will never be the same, I mean because it's such nonsense phrases

    Yay. Let's set up a system where we tell people they have to act a certain way...

    ...and part of that is making themselves conspicuous while we remain anonymous...

    ...and when they do pretend we're too clever to actually fall for that shit so we can laugh at them.




    But they're children and we're not. Which is why nobody wins.

    There is an irony in person a) hiding behind the net to throw insults and person b) being so annoyed by it that they hide behind it to harass a).

    Are the people in group a) harrassable? I don't think there is any possible way whatsoever to do to them what they do to others. They would say it is because they are "clever", I say it's just because bullies don't do it in front of teacher.

    I don't know how the legal system works in America, but wasn't that harassment, hacking into accounts, stealing personal information and wasting police time?

    I think the girl should have turned off the PC and went and played outside as soon as the whole incident started.

    I'm really glad that when I was 11 (12 years ago) my internet was so slow that all I could do was download 15 second porn clips, put them on repeat and ahem "learn". And all my friends played outside and said other things that "OMGZ BOOKFACE FOR THE LOSE, I only have 583 friends" Or always communicating with friends via words like I do now, the internet would have robbed my childhood from me

    Hell, 12 years ago I didn't even have a phone or know anyone with one either

    Ahh the days without mobiles. Having to wait by the landline until your mate called back so you could decide when and where to meet. Nobody being able to spontaneously meet you in town and more misunderstandings over being late for an appointment.

    Those days sucked.

    On the other hand, no mobiles meant that if you didn't want to be contacted, it could be easily done. These days if someone wants to nag you they can text you, email, tweet, write on your facebook wall... The days of just pissing off for a few hours without being bothered are sadly long gone.

    It was ideal when if you were young! It was honestly never a problem until I reached 17 and went to college, I could go knock for my friends or see them in class and we'd all go somewhere and my parents weren't calling us every 2 mins to make sure we hadn't died.

    Must be a nightmare if you're young now and you go out, your parents will be phoning you - its you go out but your parents are there with you... looking, staring. Or you determine your social skills & ego by the amount of text messages in your inbox.

    OF course, having a mobile phone makes you safer and your parents relaxed but when I were young I wasn't allowed that far out anyway so it didn't matter. I know that the kids that are growing up now here exactly were I did all have phones (and better phones than me now! bishes) and their parents phone them when it's time to come in for dinner, what happened to good old shouting?

    @senso-ji Conversely, I find it easier to stealth now... before, I used to get endless knocks on the door forcing me to go out, or my landline got rang and my parents answer and then they forced me to go out. There was no hiding, however when I eventually got my mobile I could either not answer it, pretend i'm somewhere else using sms and so on, it helped that people started to either try and phone or text you before then knocked, where as before they just knocked.

    I'd take the texts and phone calls over the headaches of organising nights out any time. Just ignore the calls and texts you don't want to answer. Switch your phone off or put it on silent. What I imagine is the biggest pain in the arse is in the classroom. Thirty annoying teenagers constantly texting each other.

    heyyo!, it depends on the parents and the relationship with their kids.

    IAWTP. I'm a couple of years older, got my first phone when I was 16. When you're 16 and have a mobile to which parents have the number, life becomes immeasurably more shit.

    My parents never constantly questioned my private life as a kid. They liked to know where I was going (roughly) and what time I might be back (just incase something did happen they'd have a lead to follow). But there was never any judgment or constant nagging. Even when I did get my first mobile at 18, they never contacted me unless they had a valid reason.

    But then I did leave home at 16. As did my mum.

    I would have got it in the neck, i'm the only child I can't imagine what my life would have been like growing up now with a phone, o v e r p r o t e c t i v e parents. If they had an extra tool to aid them (the mobile) everytime I went out I would have to had probably strap the phone to my forehead w/loudspeaker the whole time

    So /b/ are going after Gawker now.

    http://gawker.com/5590840/4chans-sad-war-to-silence-gawker

    Probably best to ignore them but I guess Gawker will do anything for publicity nowadays. Never thought Apple and the /b/tards would have something in common.

    /b/ is fucking terrible these days. I visit the other boards on 4chan occasionally (mainly V and mu) but /b/ is just so tired, it's just wall to wall trolling nowadays with the odd bit of porn or cat pictures. I'm no angel but it amazes me how something so popular gets away with so much - bullying, hacking. stalking, racism, sexism, misogyny, file-sharing, child porn, suicide etc. They used to create memes without offending people.

    Just imagine what she would've turned into in a few years if this hadn't happened. Now she's quietly mentally scarred instead.

    I just think the whole thing's awful - considering what a twat I was when I was 11, I just thank God we didn't have the internet.

    I've also said though that when I have kids, the PCs in the living room, not in bedrooms. What they're not happy to do on the internet with other people in the room, I don't want them doing.

    (Edit - that does not imply standing over their shoulders reading every private sentence they type on Facebook. More about parental presence.)

    That's where parental controls come in and an obligation on parents to know something about technology to monitor/prevent what they are doing.

    Fucking retarded family.

    And according to the therapist at the end, it's rap music and the internet's fault.

    I love how they're completely oblivious to /b/'s existence. Although the therapist coincidentally talked about how "the bully can be anonymous".

    Agreed with the woman's comments - even if she is pimping her site - about how to deal with these issues. Her dad's intentions were pure and understandable (which makes me slightly regret finding him - and only him - amusing in the first place) but dealing with it head on and aggressively like he did is just going to breed a more significant reaction. Her parents should have been looking out for what she was doing on the net, and indeed not letting her on certain sites in the first place given her age.

    Hope the counseling helps her. This is dying down but will go down in internet folklore for years to come, which she'll hopefully be able to deal with. Her old man hopefully won't make the same mistake again - you'd like to think this wouldn't have blown up like it did if not for his presence in the videos, because there's nothing amusing in watching a young girl in such a state. Unless you're an atypical anon or faceless Youtube commenter.
