I was quite disgusted by the video. We would have never behaved like that as children - my Mother would have punished us for even thinking about behaving in that manner. I don't think parents are paying enough attention to their children these days.

I will use my Sister as an example... her now 14 year old daughter has been on the internet since she was probably old enough to type and read. I found her facebook page a little over a year ago and there were some pretty hateful things posted there about other people as well as 'gay' remarks - it was actually quite subtle but you catch my drift. So, I called her out on it and she went whining to her mother and guess what? her mother took her side and proceeded to tell me things about her daughter making her out to be some kind of 'angel'. All the things she told me were about her daughter's behavior in school and how her daughter always sticks up for people being bullied, etc.. So, I said 'did a grown up tell you this or is this what your daughter told you after I confronted her?

Well, my sister went into 'defensive' mode because I was probably right in that she was believing everything her then 14 year old daughter was telling her as the truth. She rarely follows up on her children to see what they are doing. I told my sister that she needs to read her daughters facebook page and pay attention to what she is really doing. A year later, we are finally talking again. I doubt I will ever say anything about her parenting after that.

I just recall that when I got in trouble as a child, I was held accountable for my behavior and if an adult told my mother something about what I was doing, I didn't dare lie to my mother. My mother also made sure that I respected adults too. She never would have taken my word over an adults word. And what is this whole 'besties' between moms and their daughters these days? I think there has to be a parent child relationship between moms and their daughters - this whole we're equal and we're going to hang out and i'm going to co-sign your b.s. thing is way out of hand if you ask me.

Kids are bullying and they are getting away with it - its horrible.
