Principal to parents: Take kids off Facebook
-
He seems like a moron.
He's most likely jealous that he has no myspace/facebook friends, and others do.
Just because he's a princable he has to be douche.

At least he cares. Unlike most staff at teaching establishments around the world. Its only funny until someone commits suicide.

More then likely he is concerned about cyber bullying (if you read the article).
HTML Code:
The main problem, he wrote, is that tweens do not have the resilience to withstand internet name-calling.
"They are simply not psychologically ready for the damage that one mean person online can cause," he said.

Right.
Oh we can't handle drugs, EVERYONE YOU CAN DO DRUGS.
Oh we can't stop people form drinking and driving. EVERYONE FEEL FREE TO DRINK AND DRIVE.
Get what I'm say? Most middle schoolers aren't even old enough to be on these sites. This is towards MIDDLE schools and below, not the average high schooler.
Saying they can't handle it, its there fault is stupid.
Thats like blaming a rape victim. You sir are a twit.

Wish Parents would understand that they are doing more damage if they take there kids off of something that they don't even under stand them selves.
Just because ONE person said it was BAD because they did something they deserved doesn't mean they should ruin it for everyone else.

Cyber bullying is just an excuse for some pussy to hide behind a computer and act tough on the interwebz. But it actaully means nothing to anyone on the interwebz. Or for a smartass to get his kicks and laughs

Right, a girl committing suicide. Thats definitely deserved. Multiple people committing suicide, so deserved it. No one that has done nothing seriously wrong IE, not committed a major crime, needs to be harassed like that. Children are vicious and parents need to monitor their children. Yes 12 year olds are infact children.

We are people on the other side of the screen. The reason we are so vicious online is we don't have to see their emotions, their faces, what it does to them. I don't really care what people say, if you can't handle it, you can't handle it. We all have feelings, when you are a teenager you aren't as likely to handle bullying as well as when you're older. Sure you can block them, and report it. But it will only make them attack even harder. Cyberbullying is serious.

While I see where he's coming from, or at least thinks he's coming from he fails to see what most people fail to see. Fact is children grow up faster now. Kids are dating and having sex as soon as physically possible, joining gangs, doing drugs, and a thousand other things and this guy is worried about someone posting " X is a slut" on the internet. First of he doesn't understand the internet, second he doesn't understand youth culture, and finally he fails to understand where children really are at.
Also coddling and shielding children from the world at 13 on is stupid and foolish. It only sets them up to face extreme culture shock and have trouble dealing with thing in the real world, assuming that they are able to deal with the fake little world they'll fall into come high school. Best let them take a few hits now and develop a tolerance.
In regards to the suicidal: They are mentally flawed from the start. Something about them has left them unable to deal. The healthy human mind will not acknowledge suicide as an option. In the end you can't blame any one for their choice to kill themselves. I'd bet there are few cases if any that have the one who kills them self doing it after the first encounter. This means they came back for more and/or chose not to make use of the tool and protocols in place that let you deal with people you don't want to have contact with.

*Grave Digs*
That's why people that commit suicide over what some fag said over the internet is stupid. It's why Programmers created the IGNORE button. You can decide to sit and listen to shit thats probably not even true, click the ignore button, or dig some shit up on them and post it all over (Phone numbers, house address, IP, etc etc). If parents take away computer there basically taking away the kids education, jobs, etc. Most jobs usually use computers. Colleges use computers. At home, you'll probably use your computer to pay bills, check important emails, get your work schedule etc etc. How are you going to do all of this without knowing how to even use a computer. Yea, great idea as well to not teach children about Phishers, Hackers, and sites that'll just plain rip off your money. Real smart.
