On October 16, 2006, 13-year-old Megan Meier fled from her family's computer, distraught over the cutting comments of her supposed "friends" on MySpace. Twenty minutes later, the troubled teen was dead; she had hung herself in her closet.

HOLY CRAP! This woman should be at least indicted on being mental. Yeah my parents love me, but I do not believe that they would go to extremes of creating fake accounts to harass someone who did something to me... They knew I would eventually move on and forget about it, patted me on the head and told me it would be ok!

It is a sad story for Megan, but at 13 years of age, I was reading white papers and hanging on IRC, mostly just observing until I felt comfortable. I never would have posted my picture anywhere, or told anyone about my life or who my friends are. People need to wake up, the internet is not for everyone, but since it seems to be going that way, people need to be careful. I could go on and on about this.

IMHO get rid of your myspace account!

Cheers!
