OK....it is reported that a young girl takes her own life as a result of bullying. The family still can not find peace because the haters are out there mocking the girls death on facebook (this information can be found on the Stop Teenage Suicide site. I realize there are no laws against such evil behavior....similar to groups protesting and spewing hate about homosexuals at funerals. What is going on? How do these people feel good about their actions? Are they in such an inferior place that playing on the grief of others actually makes them feel better? Seriously? Clearly the answer to those questions are YES. Yes they obviously feel good about their behavior because they are making a choice to continually act in such a disturbed manner. Obviously YES they are feeling quite inferior and lack any self esteem because individuals who have even a morsal of positive self-esteem would have a moral compass - which clearly these populations lack.
How do we teach empathy? How can we get involved so there is some accountability for this behavior? Or do we as a society continue to look the other way because it has not affected us personally?
Again I find myself asking how many have to die - senselessly - needlesssly - because we turned a blind eye?
