How pathetic, there are more relationships, marriages, families breaking up and fighting over facebook and myspace than face to face. ( better watch my words that might be the new big online sight for all i know) How ignorant to harass over the internet, cell phone text messaging, or any other up coming device that keeps you from dealing with the consequences face to face. 21, yes still a child, but really.. grow up enough to just not do it. Uhg.

Liz I agree with you about the problems caused by the various social networking websites. However, I would like to say that the person you mentioned in your comment being 21. You said they were still a child. Technically in the eyes of the law they have reached the age of majority. Therefore no longer are they a child in the eyes of the law.

I was saying his age as to represent that he is legally an adult. Then stated he was a child, because his actions represented him to be so. I should have been more clear. Sorry :)
