In what way is this off topic? Discussion of social media, online bullying and it's repercussions. Isn't that what this thread is about? You seem to be obsessed with controlling the flow of threads you start... If we're restricted to ONLY talking about Alyssa Funke and Miriam Weeks, this thread will die very, very quickly. You're very rigid in your topics. Discussions on very flowing things.
Social skills can always be improved. He was young too.
Its probably that he never faced obsticles in his life and lacked resiliancy. I'm just extropolating here.
No we are not. I am convinced. she is a victim of social media. Nobody would have known, if not for social media.

One of my clients meets socially with long time friends of his on a regular basis. They all have successful businesses and are reaching the point in their lives where they're going to pass them onto their children. They have also all come to realization that in an effort to give their kids more than what they had, they have gone overboard in doing so and spoiled them. Apparently, one of their recent topics of discussion was which one of their offspring was going to sink their business first, as they feel certain all of them will. They simply didn't teach them properly or make them work hard enough, but feel it's too late to correct that now.

Careful BL, otherwise ET might delete this thread. Sorry SPJL, just had to throw that in there. No dis intended, only humour.
Your clients are partly right. Most of us have forgotten, that as parents, we are the teachers (or whatever you want to call it)
We forget, that they are looking to us for guidance, no one else, At least that's what I remember. And that's what I have instilled with
my daughter. Whether she's listening or not, well thats another question.

LoL!!
I have a son in his mid twenties who was sooooo NOT spoiled. He worked from the age he got a SIN, and even before that was expected to help shovel snow, mow grass, wash dishes, I even had him washing his own laundry by the time he was 12 (his socks stink).
Despite all of this, he's got a ridiculously inflated sense of entitlement that makes me crazy. He expects instant gratification for every damn thing. He watched his single parent work two jobs to make ends meet and he's still much more impatient, demanding and self entitled than anyone who influenced him growing up.
It's not just the spoiled youth that turned out that way .. sadly.
Then I wonder if "Social Media" is the culprit.
You'll have to ask his mother and hopefully she's as unbiased as Miss JL.
Just to let you know it was the 'supermod' that deleted my other threads and the reason he gave me is that you were all turning them into flame fests...

I think you'll find that she is, but it may take a few years before she actualizes this or conveys any of it to you. That usually comes once they've been on their own for awhile and start realizing their parents weren't completely bonkers.
But how good would they be if we followed your dictatorship and only spoke within the narrow scope that you believe is "on topic"?

Honestly Ed, I have no idea what other threads you're talking about, but I'll take your word for it and only because you winked at me.
everyone in the anti porn lobby will of course say that porn is to blame for this. That porn is bad that it's dangerous that her being in porn is why she killed herself. I guess following that logic, writing books is dangerous and bad. I mean look at all those writers who killed themselves...
