As most of you have already seen or heard about in the news, a girl named in Florida got beaten by six of her fellow classmates while two guys kept a look-out outside. If you live under a rock and haven't seen this story yet, I posted a clip that explains what happened. This is a news coverage clip about the beating:



During an interview with Victorias parents, they placed blame on the websites like Myspace and Youtube for desensitizing kids to violence and promoting "shock-factor" videos. Unfortuntly I have seen an increase in girl teen violence, I don't know if its because its more exceptable or because they are now being more exposed to it. And while I agree with the fact that teens are looking at more and more violence, I don't place the blame only on the intertnet. We have to remember that our society as a whole is making TV shows like Jachass popular and that it is teens that are posting violent videos on YouTube. I noticed that because the internet is more anonymous people have a ny easy time saying things that they wouldn't normally say in really life. Until we take responsibity for our own acts and choices these problems will continue. We have to make people understand that even if you feel more comfortable saying or doing things on the internet, eventually you have to face people in reality and face the consequences.

I've included the video of the interview with the parents:



Once I was looking through YouTube videos to pick out what I was going to post when I was shocked to find that people where posting personal information with the following messages. (I've blanked numbers out to protect their information.)
