Hahaha, seriously, I could be more thrilled! Haters! Come unto me!
But honestly, I don't think that being a Bully makes you good parenting material.
And I might not be a parent, but I DID used to BE a pre-teen girl. So, I KIND OF know something about it.
Hahaha, oh man GETTING MY LIFE pissing off wingnut rednecks.
I happen to love rednecks btw. The are not all terrible racist and sexist knuckle-dragging trolls. JUST SOME OF THEM.
Yeah, I did it. I am just sick of listening to this shite and being all NO I WONT SAY ANYTHING.
This dumbass posted this HILARIOUS thing about how these parents disciplined their two daughters for lying to them about their whereabouts by selling some One Direction tix they had bought them on ebay.
Which, you know, OKAY. you lie to your parents and get caught, esp when you're young and don't give a fuck about safety? Yeah, that's fair. Lose a privilege. I get it!
Cos they had told them they were at "sleepovers" when really they were hanging out with a big group of friends including boys. Like you do.
BUT. The letter these parents put on ebay was horrible.
Do you remember that one guy who filmed himself shooting his daughter's laptop and posted it on YouTube because she vented about him online, and then had people falling over themselves to defend him?
People really think kids are just property tbh
Oh yes, I remember that, Nyx!
It had a pic of the girls crying, and in the letter the mother referred to her daughters as "BITCHY" and called them TROLLOPS/Sluts.
That's just fucking bullying. And it really bothered me! So I said...
THAT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS FUNNY.
Wow that's really not okay
They just wanted to hang out with their friends!
Cue Shitstorm. Cos apparently I am not a parent I can't say anything.
You know, I don't care if they were sucking dick all goddamn night. WHY WOULD YOU SHAME YOUR CHILD ON THE INTERNET WHERE EVERYTHING LIVES FOREVER.
There is a fucking picture of these girls crying! I feel so mortified for them.
Yeah anything that goes to the level of public shaming is just beyond gross
missbiondetta: Not only do I remember that asshole, Nyx, but he lives in the county where I went to high school.
Yeah, that shit is classic Stanly County.
I also remember there was a follow up where the police or whoever that responded to people calling in about it congratulated him??? It was fucked up.
I thought it was terrible too.
I feel bad for those poor girls
Yes, they did. Because parents own their children. Esp when said children are those parent's only goddamn accomplishment.
UGH NO THIS MAKES ME SO UPSET, I have strong feelings about these things
SO DO I. Okay, you fucked up. You lied. You were unsafe. You got busted. You probably should not get to go see One Direction! BUT YOU DONT DESERVE THR INTERNET PILLORY.
missbiondetta: I'm sorry Nyx! I only meant to vent a bit and laugh incredulously about this crowd of kids I went to school with telling me I have no right to say anything cos I don't have a pre-teen kid.
Haha, I actually did respond to a GUY that I thought I knew a little bit more about being a young woman than he did. OUTRAGEOUS.
Didn't some of these people bully you?
Indeed they did, Purrwin Smith.
My campaign to cause people to unfriend me on FB is going so well!
Seriously, the less libertarian tripe I have to read, the better.
You didn't do anything wrong!!
Also yes, I think this is a fine strategy.
missbiondetta: Yeah, but I PROBABLY should have put a warning on this somehow! I don't want to upset anyone.
Haha, and I'm glad you approve of my plot to rid myself of JERKS by being forthright!
If anyone defriends you, you can feel confident that nothing of value was lost
And to be fair I didn't realize my own reaction would be this strong!!
that goes above and beyond punishing their kids
missbiondetta: Yeah, I know the feeling! Hahaha, FOR SURE NOTHING WAS LOST. Oh, I put a warning, just to be safe.
Mooberry: Yeah, it's just so vindictive. Time to start saving for therapy!
internet shame aside, I feel like it is never okay to call your teenaged daughter a slut. Ever.
Nope. It never is. It's not even okay to imply it.
I got a good dose of various kinds of shaming, growing up, so yeah. It's a very bad idea.
it's just really gross when you've got two girls at that age when they're going to start having self-esteem problems and YOU'RE the one causing them =_=
like, they'll get that enough from bullies and peer pressure and stuff
their parents are the last people in the world who should be doing it
Doing in public, because this is public, makes it all that much worse. It just invites people in who don't even ostensibly care about these girls.
if you aren't prepared to respect your own children, don't have any
