niggerfag jewcunt? wow. Apparently both my wife and facebook have no idea how incredibly callous kids can be. The VERY first thing I thought of was the scenario you hypothesized, having hundreds if people orchestrate a fake alert thereby causing the victim to actually do something they would never otherwise have considered. Every teenager is a potential suicide victim if they're pushed to it. I see this as an avenue fir bullying that might help some people too. Unfortunately, I doubt tha positives will outweigh the negatives.

Being a teenager is rough stuff, I haven't forgotten. I'll check out the links later, I'm at a bar on my phone. All the talk of "Manhattans" here on Hubski planted a thirst in me. Cheers!

Being a teenager is way the fuck rougher these days. Used to be you could go home at the end of the day and put it all behind you. Nowadays it's 24-7 - based on my informal surveys, the kids I know average around 1500 facebook friends, ~100 of which they actually know.

Have one for me. I'm so under the weather with this cold that I slept in 'til noon.

Just to clarify, I had 2 for you. To keep with solidarity, I plan on sleeping 'til noon tomorrow too.
