I can completely see a 13 year old girl doing this to another 13 yr old girl...But the PARENTS??? what the fuck? It makes sense as to why Megan and their daughter had a tumultuous friendship...if she liked drama even half as much as her parents.. what fucking sickos. ugh.

Anyone who has grown up in a small community or town knows how quickly a communal shunning (or worse) can take affect. Or even worse things can happen. I guess I still feel guilty over the "Brian's died" thing and am trying to atone for that. . .
I remember hearing in the documentary on HBO about a teenage boy, 13 I think, who was also cyber bullied. A girl he was friends with in the past or that he liked one day IMd him and led him to believe he had a shot with her. Then one day she turned on him and of course everyone at school get poking fun at him and sending him all these nasty IM's. One day he had enough and hung himself. His parents managed to get a law passed within less than a year of it occurring that allowed authorities to press charges on people that do the cyber bullying. I don't remember what state it happened in but it should be something that I feel should apply everywhere.

Yeah, it was a while back, early summer I think.  I don't remember the specifics, but there was an entry for a guy  named Brian Xanders (now a Removed Topic) submitted by his "girlfriend."  Long story short, the best anyone could tell was that someone had made the Brian and most of the friends' pages up.  Trying to sleuth out the story some MDSer's (again, I WAS one of them) made profiles to see what would happen.  The whole thing seemed weird and hilarious.  Nothing really came of it. . .and other MDSer's were quick to point out that we might be engaging with an unstable personality and that if something should go tragic, well. . .
So, when I read this story and engaged my rage, I realized that maybe part of my outrage was that this was hitting a little too close to my own guilt-mometer. 
If I messed up any of the details, I apologize.  I'm not trying to rat anyone out. . .I'm just saying (as a stone thrower) glass houses, stones, all that. 
If SOAD posts in here I swear I am banning him. :x

A very good friend of mine on the parenting board i frequent lives literally a stones throw from these families. Megan was friendly with my friend and couldnt wait until she was "old enough" to babysit for her son. She said Megan was a SWEET, LOVING little girl and the whole town is up in arms about this. She said no one talks to the family responsible anymore, but they havent been able to chase them out of town yet.
If you want to know anything more, i can definitely ask her... she lives in the neighborhood and was JUST telling me about this earlier today.
RIP Megan!!

would you all be this pissed if it was a child was responsible? im not gonna say they dont deserve it but kids pick on kids all the time and even other kids had access to it , they were childish and stupid they didnt hang her.

Yes. I hang out with my friend's 13-year-old all the time and she had a pretty sneaky little mean girl friend pulling some stunts on her. I wanted to shake the girl and tell her not to be a mean little twat.
No, they didn't hang her, just damaged her psyche enough to lead her to think it was a good option.

Stupid knows no age. The teen "friend" knew what these assholes were doing and she did nothing about it. I think the pig-fuckers that did this need to pay, if not criminally then civilly. Should adults know better, hell yes! All I have to say is that Karma is a bitch and I hope they get exactly what is coming to them. This case reminds me of the Cheerleader Murder in Texas. Megan may have died at her own hand but these people provided the rope and the pain.
ASSHOLES! Do us all a favor and go die in a fiery crash! Makes me fucking sick!

:? You're kidding, right? Where do you think that kids get it from? Fat hatred is so bad that social science researchers compare the quality of life for fat children to the quality of life with children who have cancer. Media is implicated in this, as well.
My heart hurts, too. So much so that I all but foreshadowed this type of death in the fat thread a couple of weeks ago. It is a deplorable, yet acceptable, social phenomenon, and it should be taken as seriously as any other form of prejudice and discrimination.
[/quote]No, I am not kidding. Would you make up a myspace to fuck with a teenage girl? What adult would do that? I don't get it. I teach my son every day that bullying is bad.

yes, kids pick on kids. this was a case of "adult on kid" crime.
i mean, kids also beat each other up.. if an adult beats up a kid different story.

Sure, I'd be pissed but another KID is a lot different than an ADULT. When I was a kid, on-again/off-again relationships were very typical between girls and for as many tears & broken hearts we caused each other, despite the UGLY insults and hurt feelings and "teaming up & taking sides" that went on, NONE of our parents ever got involved!
They were adult enough to know it would blow over and we'd work it out.
Imagine people stupid and immature enough that they felt the need to antagonize teenage horse crap??? Especially to this sick extent? No way. I can't even decide what I'd wish their fate to be.
I think without much of a doubt that this is the saddest death on here :( That poor child..her family. This is the first one in a really long time that actually made me tear up.
I'm with Bella, I fucking hate people, especially bully kids parents. I hope those sick assholes can't sleep at night for that. I personally think that on their conscience along with worrying what the hell someone may do to them or their own kids is somewhat acceptable punishment until karma bites them in the ass, hard.
R.I.P. Megan
