Summary Of Kiki Kannibal: The Girl Who Played With Fire

Barbara Dority author of “The Columbine Tragedy: Countering the Hysteria”, illustrates how society becomes hysterical after a teen commits a mass school shooting. The Columbine shooting occurred April 20, 1999 in Littleton, Colorado. It was caused by two adolescents Eric Harris and Dylan Kledold, collectively killed 13 students and wounded 23 others. After the Columbine shooting, society looked in every direction for who is to blame for such a horrendous act of violence caused by teens. Dority expresses how society tends to panic, and take away the youths’ pleasures such as video games, music, and the very basic rights young people have. While society posit that media or Goth music is the catalyst for teen violence, it is not the media or Goth who are to blame for teen violence.

According to article Youth Perspective on Bullying in Adolescence, children cyber bully out of boredom. During cyber bullying, a person’s character is attacked by spreading negative rumors on social sites.Bullying takes place on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, SMS, and Instagram. One out of every four teens has experience cyber bullying, and about one out of every six teens has done it to others (Justin Patchin). Cyber bullying has been an effective way to tear ones’ image down.Cyberbullying is done with negative posting and uploading images. Just recent teens have started to photoshop (electronically alter) pictures in order to make their negative posting convincing. Some create false profiles impersonating the victim on social sites to bully peers. American rapper Juaquin Malphurs, Waka Flocka Flame, and his mother Debra Antney recently started an organization, No RIP (No Reckless Internet Posting), to fight cyber bullying. Cyber bullying claimed the life of his brother, Kayo. Kayo was not happy with what the world posted on the internet about his family. He committed suicide in December of 2013, by shooting himself. When family members searched for reasons why, they discovered the answer in his laptop. As a result of people being judgmental, we have direct, indirect, and cyber bullying.

In the article “The Girl Who Got Even: A True Cyberbullying Story”, written by Justin Paget, it tells a true story of how a girl, named Nicole, was getting cyberbullied and how it caused her life to crumble apart. Nicole was blamed for an issue she did not take part in, but the entire school, as well as her so-called friends, turned against her. For instance, in the article, the author writes “A couple of close friends stuck by her, but she lost trust in many others who were involved in spreading rumors about her” (Paget). This means that Nicole lost some of her friends because of the rumors that were spread around school. No one likes to feel alone, and that was exactly how she felt. She had very few friends in her corner supporting her. She used her cell phone daily; therefore, cyberbullies knew the loathsome comments and rumors communicated through text messages and social media would be seen by Nicole. She never expected that technology would become her worst nightmare (Paget). Many rumors were set in motion, and Nicole started questioning who she was. For example, in “The Girl Who Got Even”, the author writes “The barrage battered her feelings of self-worth. “I began believing what people were saying about me,” Nicole says” (Paget). This proves that Nicole felt helpless and humiliated even though the accusations

Rebecca was a normal, typical twelve year old pree-teen girl. Because of a disagreement over a boy Rebecca dated, several middle-school children stated bullying her.

Rebecca’s mother also took her cell phone, and closed her social media

I believe her argument is how things posted on the internet is big, like once someone post something on their it’s going to be on the internet forever. Canadian teen name is Ghyslain Raza he was filming himself acting on a fight scene to show off his skills, and he was using a makeshift light saber. Around 2003, another student discovered and took it and post online. He had felt embarrass and violated of his privacy and soon after the student drop out of college because of the negatively. Bullying has become occurrence because the confidence of teens has gained by hiding behind of a keyboard. One of the reason I think why teenager do it because they do for attention so they feel good about themselves or make people laugh. The cyber world can be very bitter especially when people post up your privacy about your personal life. I’m glad my page is on private because I feel good about myself because my friends only can look at my

Based on what you know now, would you have handled this situation differently and were Amy and Mandy’s initial reaction appropriate?

The narrator is Nick Carraway, and he lives in West Egg, Long island. There is another part of the setting called Easy Egg which is much more fancier. Tom and Daisy Buchanan have a child together, and they own tons of money. Tom ends up getting a phone call, while Jordan revealed that he is cheating on Daisy. Nick notices his neighbor, Gatsby, on his lawn staring at the green light.

As I was reading Sabrina Rubin Erdely's "Kiki Kannibal: The Girl Who Played With Fire", I was astonished at how her parents reacted. While allowing a thirteen year old girl to have a MySpace account is debatable to begin with, it is poor parenting to not monitor that account. By the time her parents discovered what was going on, she was already receiving threats. Her parents astounded me again by allowing a much older male who was apparently drunk sleep in their house while their daughter was there. The idea that a parent would put the well-being of a stranger they felt sorry for over their own daughter is at least careless and bordering on neglect. The only smart move the parents made in the entire ordeal was to call the police when they

Her mother reported, ‘she wanted to die because of the message that was given to her that night.,’ This highlights the fact that lives can also be lost while having the benefits of social networking on Facebook, Bebo, Twitter and much more. Thus shows that social networking can have a severe impact on many of our lives through what we say or post online.
