Apparently she called her friends stupid on social media. One commenter decided this meant she should be raped. [none]

23.8 thousand shares, with lots of adults being smug and self-congratulatory over how they're more mature and sensitive than a 12 year old kid. Plus some bullying to the point she deleted her account. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to move to the US, but I hear things aren't much better there.

On the bright side, I just ate a cupcake and it was great.

To be fair, most 12-year-olds are immature.

I think the point is that they shouldn't be shamed by a bunch of strangers for being what it's perfectly natural for them to be.

It's not natural actually for a 12 year old to be so condescending and belittling. She is not only immature but spoiled. However I agree that it's way more immature for adults to descend to this level of harassing a 12 year old for being a brat.

I'm mostly against the idea of a bunch of immature idiots on the Internet making fun of someone for being an immature idiot. It's the hypocrisy and projection of it.

Shaming is generally a good tactic and I'm for it in certain cases but not like that.

My first post was supposed to be a joke. My second post was totally serious though.
