Topic : 01/21 Real Life Gossip Girls

Okay,

I am happy that these girls got punished for their actions. What they did was CLEARLY wrong. They seem really remorseful, I am glad this has taught them a lesson. What I am NOT happy about is that now the parents are getting sued. How ridiculous to sue over something like this. I could see if the girls were continuing to be abusive and rude and if they weren't remorseful, but obviously they are! Making one wrong choice shouldn't dictate the rest of their lives. They should be free to move on and become productive citizens. The parents of the girl who was the target of this ridiculous gossip should move on and allow their daughter to become a stronger person through this experience, by teaching her how to move on, and use what these girls did as an advantage to her. They SHOULD NOT be teaching their daughter that when something bad happens to you, you run to the nearest court and sue. What happened to the days when you taught your child how to deal with their emotions, what happened to the days when people didn't sue each other for everything and left the courts to deal with the serious and extreme cases. Sueing people over things like this, is ridiculous, what a waste of time and effort and resources!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But that's the difference between the two stories - in the first story not only did the girls not take responsibility for the wrong they did but their even more irresponsible parents went out hired lawers and bullied the school with expensive legal action or removal of the suspension of their records and return them to cheerleading squad - one of the fathers even dared to called the little thugs "brave" for admitting that they were little thugs!!!  that case should go to the courts.

The second case is much different - the girls went to the other girl before they even got into trouble in school and offered apologies which were rejected.  The two girls took their punishment from the school, then took their punishment from the courts and now are still being pursued 2 years later.  They did something wrong and stupid - and paid for it  both at home, in the school and in the courts -- now I think the wrong girl's parents are greedy - they got justice but now want money from people who can ill-afford it.

While I realize the girl has some serious problems, so do millions of other people in America. The difference is that most of them are nobody's. They don't have access to the best rehab centers in the country. Their families don't have high-profile friends like Dr. Phil to lean on. Many people in this country struggling with mental illness or addiction can't even get into a treatment program because they don't have medical insurance.

Britany has the best of everything. She has access to anything and everything she needs to get her life straightened out. If she refuses those things, we should wish her well and move on to help those who are in desperate need but don't have all the assistance afforded to Ms. Spears. Just because she is in the public eye and living the Hollywood lifestyle does that make her problems and issues more worthy of help than someone living, say, in Des Moines or Phoenix?

what those girls did was really wrong i felt really bad for kaley she did nothing wrong she was just a pretty young lady. the fact that two girls were jealous of her and decided to take a picture of her nude was just wrong what everyone else think

Okay, you have a point. Society is running amok, but come on, first parents are not and cannot be perfect. Second, to police your child every minute of every day is an impossibility! Esspecially in a world where both parents have to work just to make ends meet. Third, I could see the parents getting sued, if their child was continuing to be ridiculous and malicious, but they aren't, they are truly sorry, they are children and they will also make mistakes.

I am writing this from the viewpoint of the girl that was ALWAYS bullied. Let me explain to you that when I say always, I MEAN ALWAYS, like every day of the last three years of high school, i was bullied, made fun of, beat up and generally abused.

Do I blame the kids parents? Probably, do I blame the kids? DEFINATLY, would I ever sue one of them?? =- Probably not, why, because there are WAY WAY more important things to worry about in this world, and if we overload the justice system with petty lawsuits, then what happens is the justice system becomes imobile and useless.
