Tragic

As someone who uses the internet to express myself, as we ALL use the internet to express ourselves. As a generation for whom the internet is something that is second nature to us. It is SO important to remember common decency, kindness, and compassion in all things, and particularly in our use of the internet. We live in a time where everything is readily available to us, and when little to nothing is sacred or private. Our every passing thought is documented on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, no matter how asinine that thought may be. And yes, in a way this is a great boon to us. But it is also a huge, huge responsibility. Please, PLEASE use it carefully and teach your children to use it carefully.

What happened to this poor kid was needless cruelty that just cuts me in two. I don't mean to say all of society is a bully, but it is an increasing issue. And we need to wake up to it. Quickly.
