After reading the article about the 16-year-old girl who was beaten by 6 teenage girls while they videotaped it, I was disgusted. Any person that will go that low to do something like that, has something wrong with them and should be put away. I feel these girls are sick in the head and I feel terrible for the girl who was beaten up. Its sad what levels people will go to today to have some fun or to simply get a video on youtube.
“The brutality of the case has drawn national attention and raises serious questions about the lure for notoriety the internet affords. Mental health experts say teen violence has proliferated as kids look to flaunt their deeds on a worldwide stage.”
I tend to disagree with this statement because I feel the internet is a wonderful thing, and stupid kids like these girls should not ruin it for everyone else. There are dumb people in this world, and not everyone does the right thing, but there is a majority of good people that will use the internet wisely and put it to good use. I think these girls should get punished but it should not effect any security with the internet.
Our society should teach kids morals while they are growing up so that girls like the ones in the article do not do something so heinous. There is not anything wrong with the internet, there is something wrong with the people.
DON’T BLAME THE INTERNET- BLAME THE PEOPLE!
