So sad that a girl would get so abused like that and so true that the female gender is still shamed for sexuality. A page like yours would be a good place for parents to take their teenage daughters to so they can have "the talk" not the sex talk per say but the newest evolution of "the sex talk" would have to include the warnings of sexting etc. I was searching the web for my own piece of mind as my kids are getting up to "that age" and I am seriously thinking of a spy thing I found online at http://www.teenagesexting.net/ I don't want this to happen to my kids.

"Sex is something that we are told that we may only submit to unwillingly." That's exactly the message I was given as a child. What a set up! Good, awareness-raising article. What an avoidable tragedy! Thanks for illuminating.

I did not hear about this. What a heart rending tale.!

The boys and girls who persisted in spreading the information in cyberspace were aprt from being terribly mean spirited were also engaging in illegalities. These are kids and unfortunately the point you make hear is lost on teens many of whom will not wise up to these issues until they gain some maturity.

We live in an age where the information highway is king. The hurdles and dangers are many. My heart goes out to that mother.

They so rarely go after the bullies and taunters...

What an incredibly tragic event. I completely agree with you. It is very upsetting that the media is not standing up for her, and is instead bashing the action she chose to engage in. Who is going after the bullies and taunters?

This girl made a TERRIBLE mistake. A teenager sending naked pics of herself to a teenaged BOY?

The tragedy I see here is no parental guidance of any kind. First off, that they had not taught her better judgment than this. Second, that they forced her to endure the consequences to the point that she wanted to die. You can't control the actions of a dozen or more other kids, but you CAN say "enough is enough" and remove your child. I'm sure after a few days she had learned her lesson. Why did the parents leave her in that situation so long?

[I]No young woman should be made to feel desperate enough to kill herself because we refuse to believe that women should have the right to display their bodies or be sexual outside of male control.[/I}

HERE HERE!! Kudos for making this an issue to be confronted and one day conquered.

Those are very hurtful words to hear, especially for a teenage girl. This is very sad to learn of.
