Sometimes people just really disappoint me. The lengths they will go to destroy or humiliate people is incredible. If you are going to put that much effort in hurting someone, why not re-invest it into something more productive, something positive?

I see examples of this quite often in the school that my youngest two daughters attend. I know it's a "high-school" mentality thing, because I remember when I was in high school. I remember how it was played. I remember how it hurt. It seems nowadays that the harassment and bullying is worse, it is magnified from my day. People wonder why kids commit suicide or take guns to school, and shoot up the school - or themselves. Does anyone stop to think about what happened prior to the ultimate result? Does anyone honestly investigate what the child went through; what happened to cause them to get to this point?
Society spends so much time focusing on the tragedy, rather than the "symptoms" that occurred before the tragedy. Society tends to blame the tragedy on something convenient, and doesn't fully investigate the motive and the reasons behind the actions. If we just paid a little more attention to the pleas, the symptoms, the signs, or the "dismissed" minor problems that happened before the tragedy, maybe we could prevent the tragedy from happening!!
Continue this to adults...shouldn't we, as adults, be past the "high-school" mentality? What is the point of creating drama, when if you have any sense of decency, you would just move on and learn from your mistakes? Why does a person create a big fiasco, and point the finger at someone who has done them no wrong? Greed? Jealousy?
We are taught as children (at least I know I was) to accept the consequences of our actions. Retaliating and pointing the fingers at someone else in an effort to cover your own actions, in my opinion, that is really childish. To take from someone else, and then accuse them of the crime that you, yourself committed....that's pathetic! Grow up already.
Have you no shame? Have you no honor?
Have a little respect for yourself and grow up man!
And then we come to Jodi Arias.
There is no way this woman is innocent and there is no justification of self-defense. After all that was done to this man, how can anyone even think she deserves mercy? He was naked, without weapon, and in the shower! I don't buy the "battered woman" defense or claim. This is way beyond that! Somehow Casey Anthony got away with her crime. I hope and pray that Jodi Arias is held accountable for hers. She deserves the death penalty. Perhaps when this country starts giving more serious consequences for rape, molestation of children, and murder, offenders will think twice about doing the crime in the first place.

don't know anything about the case but bullying cause such damage. People think it isn't a real thing. Well people with kids who are targets know better.
