Three Florida cyber bullies have been suspended from their hockey league after they allegedly relentlessly bullied a teammate, who then committed suicide, according to a report.
McKenna Brown, 16, took her own life in August after she began talking to one of her friends’ former boyfriends — which prompted the would-be pal and some other girls to taunt and harass her, her mother Cheryl Brown told Dr. Phil this week.
Now the unidentified girls have been suspended from a Florida hockey league because of their alleged bullying, the Daily Mail reported Saturday.

It is unthinkable that a young woman would end her life over words on a screen. All she had to do was turn it off!

Seriously? I would have taken screenshots of every message and turned those cyber bullies into the police and to the school district. You want embarrassing? How about I bring all your parents into it also - ten to one, they have no idea what their little darlings are doing. Expelled just from the hockey team? How about expelled from school altogether, and with a police report attached besides.

Us old folks don’t understand the extreme viciousness of teen girls today. She probably faced harassment and ostracism at school also. I will say I’d think a hockey player would be a bit tougher.

The larger story is not the bullying and the suicide. The real question is why young people are so without purpose that they find life intolerable if they are bullied. If the culture was such that meaningful lives through faith, family and education were offered, young people wouldn’t find life so meaningless.

I used to work for an Outdoor Center which hosted religious and corporate retreats as well as sleepover summer camp. The summer camp was electronics free. No gameboys, computers, cell phones allowed. So many of those kids absolutely freaked when they realized they couldn't check Facebook or text their friends, many for fear of being out of the loop, upset over what everyone would be saying about them. Many threw tantrums, so much so their parents had to be called to get them, lest they ruin the session for their cabin mates. It was insane how addicted these kids were to their social media.

See the movie, "The Social Dilemma", and you will fully understand how electronic social media group-think is brainwashing and destroying our young people.

You know when Apple first came out and used the rainbow colored Apple with a bite missing as their logo, they knew what they were creating. Access to many sins…

Teenagers are no more evil than they were when we were kids. The difference is now they have the internet, which is an exponentially wider audience. No longer do you denigrate someone on the bathroom wall. Now you can get the whole world to read it. Just like in our time, rather than stand up to the evil, most will go along to keep themselves from becoming a target.

No one "causes" someone else to commit suicide - - and - - - there is no such thing as "brainwashing." Two delusional myths.
The human race regularly produces emotionally-unstable, self-destructive individuals. No more so today than at any time in the past. It's a human shortcoming - - a glitch in the DNA - - and there's very little anyone can do about it.
So please climb down from the high horse - - if you happen to be on one.

Oh, you don't have to post things on a screen to bully other girls. I saw this from catty mean girls who picked on other girls who weren't a pretty or well-off or had some quirky trait. I did what I could at that age to stop them from being mean, but they WERE mean! I often preferred the company of a number of the guys in my class.
Another thing, though, this young lady was very pretty. At least from the pics in the, article. If she really could play hockey, I would hope she'd be tougher. No, I think there was more going on in this girl's life, in particular as she was raped at age 14. No culprit is cited, but if she had someone to fear at school OR at home, if she hadn't gotten enough therapy over the years from age `14 to 16, there's the real source (just speculating) and she had been going through inner torment then and for who knows how many years before the rape.
Something else is wrong with this really sad story.

There is something missing from this story that infuses everything teen girl today: lesbianism. It is possible that she was being bullied because she wouldn't participate. My brother's daughter was an outstanding softball player. He said that the lesbians were relentless towards my niece. Social media extolls the lesbian/bi lifestyle and these young girls are totally into it. If she would not participate, then she would have been subject to these vicious behaviors. There's nothing in today's teen society meaner than girls. The corollary to that is it's double for lesbians. Absolutely evil.

Our leftist culture has created generations of fragile people. Fragility is malleable.

#1, to make a comment like that, one must assume everyone thinks and acts exactly like you and that isn't the case. You are tragically mistaken. Stop thinking that people end their lives because of hurt feelings which is beyond irresponsible. I pray you don't have kids. People who end their lives do so out Hoof despair. A deep and dark despair where there is no hope. You would say "Just get over it" That doesn't help anyone. How many are dead because someone said to them; "Just get over it"

Too much of these kids lives are wrapped up in "social media" and not in worthwhile activities, like church, family time, and volunteer work. Kids are taking this stuff far too seriously, since all that 'trash talking' will be gone forever after graduation from high school. Life is a marathon, not a sprint, kiddos.

"No one "causes" someone else to commit suicide"
#10, you really , really didn't think that one out. She'd still be alive if some Godless girls hadn't driven her to it.

Girls are wicked with each other. I experienced it myself while growing up. I was always in the position of having to find new friends because I was ostracized because I was attractive, funny and athletic. It was tough and it hurt a lot--their vindictiveness. I moved away from my hometown at 19 and do not go to class reunions EVER and do not "friend" anyone on FB from those days. I have more guy friends than female friends and that's perfectly ok. No drama!

My daughter was getting some of this from her so called friends.
I had a buddy of mine from work-young mechanic, looks like he holds up the engine block with one hand while working on it- grow his beard out, dress a bit down and he made a l’il video appearance on her feed……with a word or two about what happens to people who mess with his favorite Insta person…..in no uncertain terms…..
Amazingly, it stopped.
As did my kids infatuation with social media.
