Teen murders mom, posts about it on LJ.

it's ok. i was a teenage girl there for a while. i had phases of fatness. i'm still crazy. so, if i was wiccan, i'd say ME TOO quite emphatically, but, i'm not. so.. ME TOO but I'm not wiccan exclamation point

that made it less emphatic, don't you think

you think if you threw another layer of ignorance on that sandwich you could still fit it in your mouth? come on, I want to see you try.

I was with you untill ok.

this is fucked up

I don't know if this was covered, but, I was also quite confused as to the silly comments left in her journal not only mocking and making light of the situation, but some defending her and flaming people who, gasp, said she was a sick girl?
Is it me, or are kids gettin' stupider by the MINUTE?

I'd say I'm derailing, but the basic thread doesn't seem to be going anywhere. None of us can really say why she did what she did, folks, and hating her or feeling bad for her parents doesn't change anything. They probably did make some serious mistakes, and she probably is messed in the head somehow - genetically, environmentally or otherwise.

And the point would be...?

Anywho,

For many (most?) people with serious depression it isn't so much this, though - they'd be more inclined to take on far more blame than was legitimately their due.

Not that that makes them super-specially great people - the problem is that it takes a certain amount of self-love to be nice to other people. Taking *blame* for things does not mean you are taking *responsibility* for them, or for change them. Past a certain point of despair when you're no longer able to care for yourself in any meaningul emotional way, you certainly aren't able to take care in how you treat others.

The moral of the story is: dual depressed people relationships are fucked! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

yeah.. i agree with you about taking the blame. i'm not talking about clinically depressed people.. just fucked up kids. i'm just saying that some kids seem to just pick up this attitude with their style. maybe it comes from choosing to be in a group in which they know they wouldn't naturally belong and being made fun of in school or something.. who knows. of course, i don't know this girl's mental health status... but it can't be good if she has her mom offed and then talks like she doesn't give a fuck. that's fucked up. daisy.

My parents were the same way. If I got a B I was in so much trouble. I had to come home straight after school and do homework before I went anywhere and I had to check in every 1-2 hours when I was out.

It was super strict, but I never ever thought about killing them. I always thought it was my friend's parents that didn't know what they were doing.

Nope, they're just as confused and impulsive as ever, there's just more immediate and widespread outlets for said confusion, and better media coverage.

In the good old days, stuff like this got written into a diary.
