A young teenager kills herself after her online boyfriend turns on her. But the boyfriend wasn't real; rather he was the product of the parents of a girl the suicide used to be friends with.

karnythia's journal, this has me close to tears because it confirms every terrible thing I've ever thought about childhood, parents and popularity.

Date: 2007-11-12 11:23 pm (UTC)I hate when parents defend their children at all costs and this is certainly a case of that.
As a parent myself, I try to be honest about what my child might or might not do. When she is in the right, I fight tooth and nail for her. When she is wrong, I do not defend her. I can not imagine going to these lengths for her.
How sad for the parents.
