I read an article with what he says happened ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2013013/Lindsay-Hawkers-killer-throws-revolted-parents-sickening-pantomime.html ) and it was terrible. I think he deserves to hang, since the only remorse he's shown has been for himself and she BEGGED him to let her go.

It would also help if the teachers actually paid attention to their students more. I wish this girl would have found a better way to get over this, instead of killing herself.
This is exactly like the show "LIFE" - girl is bullied by classmates, teachers don't notice, parents don't notice, she speaks out about it, the administration completely ignores it, etc.

It gives my family (immediate and distant) the ability to stalk me and see everything I do.
It would just feel wrong to deny their friend request...

That's scary...being the same age as the girl, I know I would freak out if that happened to me.

Depends who's doing the review.

Maybe if these kids quit eating so much junk food and sitting around on the computer they wouldn't be so fat. Give them some strawberries or carrots and take them for a bike ride. People always complain about how fat they/their kids are. Maybe if you lay of the potato chips a bit and got some exercise, you wouldn't be fat.

Exactly. I'm a Christian, but I don't get all butt-hurt over someone making fun of Jesus (which happens all the time). It's like most Muslims seem to be stuck in the stone age with all the public hangings and fanatical mobs. To me, the religion seems to be hypocritical because none of the 'good' Muslims speak out about how not all of them are violent freaks. I've completely lost respect for the religion of Islam.

Yeah, I was thinking about teaching in the US for a few years, just so I'd have 'experience' and it'd look better. I never thought about getting a masters, though. Thanks.

So would it be better to teach English at a high school if I plan on getting a college degree and everything to teach? It seems like the high school students at least would somewhat have to learn. I actually want to teach, not just play around and socialize.

Hm, I hope people won't think of me badly when I'm a teacher. I actually plan on going to university to major in English and I want to learn Japanese because I just don't understand how you can teach a language to someone properly when you can't even communicate with them. I want to be a teacher anyway, but I also love the Japanese culture, so I figured it'd be a good deal for me. (I also feel that you should have to get some certification to teach English.)

I don't really see what's so wrong about a kid jumping on a bed; I did it all the time. I can see how doing it next to a window would be a problem, though. I think it's just a freak accident, because we don't really know what happened with the parents. They could have been telling the kid to stop, when she flew out the window or they could have just been watching TV and not paying attention. You don't really know.
