Teen murders mom, posts about it on LJ.

Well, just because they were strict and misguided about where to focus their energies, doesn't make them human beings that lack quality. I mean, parents are human too and make stupid mistakes just like kids do. I know that you are not saying that justified murder, but to me that doesn't even justify serious thoughts of running away. At least they were involved in her life and obviously cared about how she was going to turn out even if they were being overbearing and/or misguided. There may also be more extenuating circumstances that we are unaware of at the moment, but as the facts stand right now I don't feel sorry for her in the least. She seems like a dangerous sociopath that should be locked away forever.

Whoops. This was in response to googuse.

His insulting my choice of books is, most definitely, the WRONG way to flirt with me.

i was trying. and failed. sorry.

xoxox

If only teenagers would realize that their little high school dramas didnt matter. This world would be a much better place.

i was riffing off a previous comment: Why would anyone be grounded for having a book? and not the choice of books.

xoxox

my parents were boring, so i murdered them.

then i missed them so much, i brought them back to life.

man, were they pissed.

and now i am in my 38th year of being grounded.

xoxox

Oh, 'cause it was after I mentioned having a book about Celtic religion. Either way, it didn't make any sense. Whatever. I hate derailing threads. Let's get back to psycho teenagers.

yesterday, a friend of mind (who just happens to be a pyscho teenager) pronounced it "sell-tic." and he wasn't talking sports.

ooooh. that made me want to murder his parents.

I bet if this chick had Psycho Dad for a father, none of this would have happened.

I knew a girl in high school that killed her mom with her crazy boyfriend. I was friends with her sister at the time who was there during the murder, she tried to stop it but they said they would kill her too. I can't imagine the terror she must have felt.
Here's a link to the story.

I'm gonna go cry now.

fucked. up.

you had better hope that the prison system doesn't allow for conjugal visits

I was kicked out of the house for having pagan books. I slept in a homeless shelter for a few nights, then came back and broke into the house cause nobody was home, sat down and watched tv. by that time my mom was all worried about me and sorry. she lightened up about the whole issue.

That's some fucked up shit right there.

Oh my gosh there were so many rules in my parents' house if you breathed the wrong way you were punished and if it weren't for heart problems both my parents would probably be alive today, as it is my dad isn't but my mom certainly is, heaven love the woman. I just don't get it....why did killing seem like the solution in this girl's case?

wow, that is scary. Your friend was lucky too because apparently the plan was originally to kill her too.

In the UK mothers are not murdered all the time. Mother-killers who are under 18 don't get released when they hit 18 either. In fact, children who kill go to prison for very much longer than adults who kill. (I'm just stating a fact, not giving any judgement on the rights or wrongs of it)

There was a UK tv personality called "Jill Dando" in the UK. She was shot in the face outside her home, she died. Police took a while to find her killer, and there are some people who say that the person in prison is not the person who killed her. He was a loon; anyone seeing just how inept he was would realise that actually it might be quite easy to get away with a killing.

i think i'm bound to meet my soul mate on this girls live journal comments page.

"Oh how'd you two meet?"
"Well, i met him online when we were commenting on the livejournal of some girl who had her mom murdered because she made her go to fat camp!"
"That's lovely, dear."

about a month ago some kid in anchorage hacked up his step mom and left her in the freezer while he went to the mall. his dad came home and found her in the freezer.
never a good place to live...never ever.

This is exactly what's been going thru my mind reading this whole thing. I mean, at least the mom is somewhere else, hopefully somewhere better. The daughter, unless it turns out her parents abused her, will get no sympathy and deserves none. But the father, his wife, the woman he loves(i assume) and has cared for for I don't know how long is dead, brutally murdered, and to find out that his daughter, a life he helped create, a life he has helped shape and mold from the very beginning, is the person who had his wife killed. I just cannot fathom what kind of grief, anger, pain he must be feeling.
This is just...fucked up, there is no other way to describe this thing.

Have you noticed that a lot of teenagers tend to exaggerate things when they get in to trouble? I mean, looking at this girl's journal makes me think that she did something that she didn't write about and maybe when her parents were disciplining her they brought up the book and she decided to tell everyone that that was why she got grounded for pity so that other people would think, "Oh, that poor girl, her parents are absolutely ridiculous."

I know, I did it when I was a teenager.

I have a littler sister who's about 15, and she reads her friends live journals almost all the time. I don't know how the trend arose or why its gotten so incredibly common, but it seems that....

live journal + slipknot + hot topic = severely depressed teenager....

I'm sure alot of us were depressed at that age, and some of us still are, but I just get the feeling alot of these kids are wallowing in their sadness and making a niche out of it, as opposed to working things out like they should. Then again teenagers have always been angsty, and tend to make their hardships out to be worse then they really are, but it just seems like the consequences dealt in this "phase" are getting worse.

Yeah, my guess is she was grounded for having a book on Wicca...and the pot hidden inside it.

bloody hell

watch them try and blame the music she listened to. . .

hm. see my above post. lots of parents freak out about books on paganism, hell, my mom isn't even christian and she started screaming at me and telling me I was associating myself with cult members who eat babies. she told me to throw the books away or leave. I chose to leave.
