Jesus, I can't even...

And when parents get involved? Man, they're usually the ones to find out about it. They snooped on our Xanga's back in the day. Who else do they go to? They don't want to take responsibility for it because the content can get pretty threatening. Example: In 8th grade, a former friend of mine decided to retaliate against vicious claims that I called her a backstabbing whore by creating a website. More of a hatesite. Even a death threat that had the police involved. She got suspended and a bunch of group meetings were called to try and resolve 13 year old cunty conflict. God, it was ridiculous. The school only heard about it because my mom had seen how miserably depressed I had become (every morning I would wake up with pounding anxiety. I still feel it to this day. I would try and hold my breath for as long as I could in hopes of becoming unconscious and not have to deal of not knowing who will talk to me that day, or who would sneer at me and call me names. I literally had no one: lunch was spent in the bathroom stall or in the library.) so she called the principle. Junior high fucking sucks. But still, I'm so thankful that I don't have to be 13 during the days of YouTube, Facebook, and worst of all... tumblr. It gets so nasty; the hate manifests so quickly because the network is so heavy. Plus that shit stays there, it's never completely wiped out. Anyone can probably find it years from now...

Our schools only started taking "drastic measures" once someone fucking killed them self. He was in my circle of friends, but I didn't know him. When they told me what other people did to them, I could understand why. He was constantly made fun of, online and irl. Someone drew a picture of him cutting himself with a razor, and got a ton of people to set that as their background for their phones, and post it onto their walls on facebook. He had had some hip injury, and couldn't do anything strenuous with his legs, and for a little while, he had to use crutches. Random people would kick them out from under him. The one time h punched some guy in the face, he was the one who got in trouble, and got suspended. This went on for a few years. So the year before last, he took a belt, and hung himself. That was the day before that last day of school.
So now, we have ridiculous fucking no tolerance policies. Some of them leech into the internet. It's so fucking creepy. They can look at our facebooks and everything. One of my friends made a hate group against this guy because he's a racist, and the school contacted her and told her that she'd get suspended if she didn't take it down. The only person she had told about this was me. The internet has its goods and bads. =\
