Troubled Mind

*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

This day is tiresome. I just want to go home and cuddle up to my man, but instead I'm stuck at work. *frowns*

What makes it WORSE is the fact that I was reading/watching the news. I don't generally watch the news because most of it is filled with idiotic things like B. Spears and her life instead of important things like what's happening to women in places like India or even Africa.

Of course it doesn't. Pfft.

Anyways, I was reading where this girl was invited over her friend's house only to get jumped by 6 girls. Then I started to read other articles on teens getting jumped and on the news, they all had 1 thing in common:

These acts were videotaped and placed on Youtube or MySpace...

The one with the girl I told you about. She claimed that one girl hit her and rammed her head into the wall rendering her unconscious. Once she gained consciousness, there were six girls over her. They took turns beating her. There were 2 guys on the outside keeping watch...

The part that kills me the MOST...Well there are 2 things:

1. Most of the parents, including the ones of the victim, blame YouTube and MySpace.

2. The grandmother who owned the house where the girl was beaten is horrified that she's receiving threatening phone calls and someone scratched her car.

Why?

1. How can you blame a place that was innocently created to give people an outlet to make themselves known and to publish videos about the cool things that they do? YouTube and MySpace didn't encourage those girls to do that. They don't have a HUGE contest telling them to tape the best ass whooping so they can win prizes! NO they don't...

So if anything, it's our current society and in SOME cases the lack of parenting.

2. I'm sorry, grandma, but while you're fretting over phone calls and a scratched car...

A teenager is in the hospital trying to heal thanks to your granddaughter beating the crap out of her in YOUR house.

Am I crazy here? If I did that at my mom's house, she would...Let's just say that I would never DREAM of doing that!!!!

What is this world coming to??? Yes I ended that sentence with a preposition, but I'm too freaked at the possibilities of the future to worry about that at the moment. I want to have kids. I want to have a few of them. Now if they EVER pulled a stunt like this, jail would be the only thing protecting them from me. The part that scares me the most is...

What if they were victimized? The "mob mentality" has been around for ages and it's never going to go away...BUT now you can watch yourself being beaten on public websites. The ENTIRE world can watch you...

How embarrassing...

How cruel...

The parents had to watch the scene where their daughter was beaten.

Gah, my heart is heavy...

I want to tie my tubes so I won't get pregnant. If this is what the world is coming to then I'm sorry, it's not fair to bring ANY kid into this world...

*sigh*

Sorry Faithful Five and everyone else...I'm not ending this in a happy mood, but I feel the need to stress the words that I'm about to close this session with:

Love, Peace and Hair Grease...
