Sexting Tragedy

On this article they talk about a girl name jessica that committed suicide because her ex/boyfriend sent a nude photo to everyone. He sent it to one of his peers but he sent it another person and so on, and so on. The nude photo was news all over different high-schools. Jessica tried to go with the school's authorities to stop the bullying, but obviously they couldn't do much about it. She then went to the news and gave an interview to spread the word to girls to stop them of making the same mistakes than she did. A month after she graduated she hung herself and now her parents are suing the school, because they didnt take any severe actions against the bullies. Yes, it was a mean thing to do. But in first place, whatttaaa heell was the girl thinking when she sent the nude picture to her boyfriend! now in this days we have a lot of examples of this situations, she should've known better. Second, the school cant do anything about it, because is off school activities ... it had nothing to do with school.. only that the kids attended to the same high-school. Third, the parents are in grieve, they want to blame it on the school. But honestly if they really want to point fingers, they should've paid more attention to her own daughter, maybe they could've prevent it and let her know that its not the end of the world. they could've move to another city, etc. etc.
Jessica committed suicide a month after she graduated, it didnt have ANYTHING to do with the school. The parents should think twice what they are doing... the only excuse I can give to the parents.. it's that they are in grieve. They know they could've done something more to prevent the death of her daughter, so now they are looking for someone to blame. We know that this could've been prevented, but it didnt .. it's a tragedy.. but now instead of pointing fingers, we should let anyone that's out there of the consecuences that bullies can bring and girls or boys should be more aware of their own actions.

  1. fantastic post, i agree with you that the lawsuit is likely out of the parents need to blame someone...because we don't like to think of ourselves at fault or that bad things can just happen.

    Grief is a strange and powerful thing....
