Blaming a 13 year old girl for her own suicide on the basis that she's a "slut" is NOT acceptable. | ||

Either way I don't really think this deserves it's own thread. As sad as it is, social pressure and rumors cause teenagers to kill themselves all the time. This isn't anything new really. | ||

People don't seem to understand that kids these days are learning about sex at much earlier ages, and are deciding to experiment. I'm not saying that they should be doing this, but it's reality. I'm pretty sure she didn't know this was going to happen(banga list) and she overreacted about how much of an impact this would have on her life and killed herself. yeah well then her parents failed in life and raising her up correctly i, when i was 13 i knew how to fu** without making the girl pregnant and other shit.. because my parents told me what to do when.. and also its teached in school | ||

A bunch of young teenage boys bully a girl by putting her on a list of "easy" girls, one of the girls commits suicide, and your response is to further shame the victim of the bullying? There is no evidence in the discussion thus far that the girl in question actually "put out easy", as you so charmingly put it, and even if she was sexually active, having sex does not grant a license to anyone who feels like it to bully you. The casual way that you just dismiss a child's suffering as her own fault because you think she might have had sex is disgusting. | ||

I can't personally understand this being a valid reason to kill yourself, but I could possibly be biased since I am male. I can kind of understand the problems this could cause for girls, especially in highschool, where your image is everything and it's even more important for girls. Was this "banga list" being sent around on facebook and twitter? Apparently many people just get thrown on such lists without actually being a slut and when you're on the list you'll just get bullied till no end. Atleast that's what the article said I've never heard about these lists before. Besides you know how cruel teenagers can be and how emotionally unstable some are. | ||

It was her choice and I respect that, but I don't feel sorry nor do I think are the boys that put her on such a list guilty. I do agree with this. I want to add something tho; i myself have been bullied for my whole elamentry? and high school, to a state i quited school. didn't go to it, i never wanted to end my life because off it; but the whole community in the netherlands - is just sooo fucked up. I feel the urge to protect my own family (im dutch btw; moved to belgium at the age of 10) for such things. i got a few nieces around the age of 16. Who have / are going true some just complete bullshit. Wich even 5 years ago, was just not even there. I dunno, im just blown away by this.. dont know what to actually think off it; other then its sad it happend. | ||

I do recall sometimes in highschool, guys would talk about some girls that they had sexual encounters with, but nobody would ever make a list and distribute it freely. This is really tragic.

I don't recall ever being taught by sex education teachers that you shouldn't have sex. All they said was if you wanted to have sex, you should know the risks(STD,STI) and always use a condom. We don't even know for a fact that she did have sex to begin with. It's entirely possible that someone who wanted to sleep with her, got denied and he put her on the list just to spite her. We don't know all the facts, so it's not fair to make comments about her being a "slut". | ||

The main blow to the girls on the list is probably not that a few dumb boys call them sluts, it is that they broadcast it to the world. Suicide is the most common death cause for teenagers and I guess there are always multiple reasons for a suicide (being a teen is probably the main one), but discussion is rather : how identify / protect against social network harassment without impacting freedom of speach ? | ||

According to the CDC, it wasn't true in the USA in 2009, and I'd suspect that it's not true world-wide or in Holland, either. http://www.cdc.gov/Injury/wisqars/pdf/10LCD-Age-Grp-US-2009-a.pdf | ||

they point fingers at certain girls .. calling them sluts.. when in fact they'd do anything to have sex with most of the girls on the list. the guys i knew who had girls "all over them" in school basically kept their "conquests" fairly private because they didn't want the different girls they were banging to know how many different choices they had  | ||
