Kinda helps that you were a guy, though.

Am I sexist if I call girls "unstable"? Especially around puberty?


YES! 

With gender bias aside for a moment; take into consideration that during puberty it's a hard time for anyone.  Your body is changing, hormones and insecurities run rapid.  Clique politics that dominate the high school corridors, and the sense belonging is the only thing that seems to be concrete.  Unfortunately it's hard on young girls because a lot of them are taught that they have to be a certain way for people to like them.  And among females in society there isn't a sense of camaraderie like between males, it's a constant battle from the home, workforce, and through society.

I like Perrin's idea the best. Sue the hell out of the lady. Get a legal fund put together and put a suit on her that will drain every last penny she has.

If this were an adult we were talking about, I wouldn't be quite so angered by it. This was a 13 year old kid, and clocks is right, it's not just girls that are unstable at that age. Boys commit suicide too.

I agree that no charges should be filed, but a civil suit definitely is in order.

While I agree the person has problems and issues if all they can do all day is torment a girl online I don't believe this can be criminally charged. It's almost like making up a law on the fly. Plus what is the charge? She drove the girl to commit suicide? Over a spand of a life time I've seen many kids drove to the brink of extreme depression but at the end of the day they had a choice to make. Either let one person get to them and kill themselves or stand up and keep on living. If this case can be criminally charged then why can't any suicide? Why couldn't a teacher who disliked a student and gave him or her a F be charged for a suicide of a child? Why couldn't bullies be charged for suicide? Why couldn't ex-girlfriend's be charged for suicides? See what I'm getting at, it just opens things up for more stupid laws. The fact is as stupid and cruel as this adult was she doesn't warrant jail time because she didn't tie the noose and didn't make the decision.

I don't think anyone HERE thinks she should get jail time. Or even any form of CRIMINAL action but CIVIL? That is another story as I think Illy said.

Further if I lived in that town I would demand that anyone with the advertising firm she owns withdraw thier ads or I would stop giving them my custom.
