Fine example of labelling - how exactly did the fact that the teen is a lesbian contribute to the story?

Personally the title in the story is more apt: it says "lovesick".

i have a feeling that the whole "she has issues that she needs resolved, and that this is a cry for help so she wasn't completely in sound mind and body" is going to surface.

this chick needs the book thrown at her ass.

Neal Boortz, the talk show host, has been ranting about this since it happened.

Yes I got that - but does the fact that she is a lesbian, and was spurned by someone make her anymore prone to acts of stupidity than other lovesick teens who have been spurned by someone?

From the admittedly small story, the fact that she is a lesbian is a relatively minor fact in the overall scheme of things - however if it comes out that because of her sexuality she was suicidal (for what ever reason), then yes the fact that she is a Lesbian then becomes much more important in the story.

She needs to rot in prison for the rest of her life. She destroyed a family. She is a selfish brat who thought it was perfectly OK to kill an innocent woman because she (the brat) was having a hissy fit.

And she wasn't "lovesick" -- she doesn't have any idea what love is. How do you know, at 16, what love is?

I'll bet her parents always gave her whatever she wanted and continually told her how wonderful she is to keep their little darling's "self-esteem" up. No wonder she turned out to be a self-centered child who put "I want I want I want!" ahead of another human life.

The wrong one died. And she was a mother of three. A family ruined. A tragic, stupid loss.

What a selfish, horrible girl. But hey...she's a rich bitch who killed a Mexican who probably has parents who'll hire her the best lawyers so she'll probably get away with it anyway.

I agree that she should be punished, but the people automatically making a story out of her being wealthy are ridiculous.

The parents afforded her private school tuition.

She was driving her parents' Benz.

I think it's safe to say that the Mr. and Mrs. have some money.

My parents paid for all my school, half my friends drive bmw's or range rovers. The large majority are very ethical, generous and responsible people.

I feel horribly bad for the mother who got kill by this stupid girl.

To put it in a harsh way, if she wanted to kill herself, she might as well crash into a tree, because then she won't kill others but herself....

  • slitting your wrists
  • overdose
  • jumping off a building
  • self-inflicted gunshot
  • carbon monoxide poisoning
  • drinking Drano
The list of alternate suicide methods goes on and on. If she wanted to take her own life, she should have put some thought into it so that she did not endanger the safety of others.

That reminds me I heard about a list that came out a long time ago about 100 ways to suicide. And while I never saw the list, I heard it was quite disturbing. And it reminds me this Japanese documentary called the "Suicidal Circle" where you see Japanese people go on message boards, meet with internet members all collectively suicide all together.

But nonetheless...I don't understand why people suicide, especially with such silly things like this. If you have the courage to suicide, then why not have the courage to face it?
