I love irony. :D

Hopefully whatever happens with this legal battle turns out for the better. I would hate to see this dragged on until there is no emotional impact from any side.

These people are literally the worst example of human beings. Apparently, her classmates created a facebook group called "Constance quit yer crying" where they collectively mock her and are posting photos of the private prom.

http://perezhilton.com/2010-04-06-awful-constances-classmates-create-facebook-group-to-bully-her

I would LOVE to see these @#%^s burn in hell.

[EDIT]

The page is already full of people commenting on how awful these kids are (with good reason).

[EDIT2]

What's even funnier is how retarded this was of them. They've just put out ridiculous information about themselves. And with colleges and employers now using facebook as a tool to check out potential candidates, they have ample opportunity to see what bigots they are.

[EDIT3]

The parents are freaking out because they are all calling it the prom and acting like it was the official one, and the parent's cover was that it was supposed to be just any old party, so they are worried they'll get sued. XD

[EDIT4]

Omg, the clothes these kids are wearing in their pics are fugly as hell.

And, @Gbaji, some kids were wearing jeans and T-shirts. Dress code was CLEARLY not a problem.

Lol, people have already started their internet trolling to find out the information of the kids that started the group, and are planning to contact colleges with the information with a plea they reconsider their admission.

On the one hand, I'm vengeful and I love it.

On the other, I don't think potentially ruining these kids college careers because they made a stupid mistake is right. MAYBE the tools that comment on the group page saying Constance had it coming. But most are just a handful of the millions of passive, cowardly idiots in the country. No reason to ruin their lives over one mistake.

Because, in the end, the parents are at fault. Some of these stupid-as-hell kids could possibly grow up to realize how ******* retarded their mommies and daddies are and raise their kids the right way. Sure, most won't, but I feel like I need to have SOME optimism in life or I'll go insane.

If they get denied from colleges from this, I will laugh. They so deserve it for being so stupid as the create a facebook group for that. The parents deserve to have something happen to them, but chances are they'll get away perfectly free unless they let something slip that can be used in a lawsuit.

This is gonna end up on a Cracked.com list. Most Awesome Cases of Internet Vigilantism 2, is my guess, once the smoke clears and the internet has done to them what the internet does.

One of Constance's relatives just posted a message from her on the group's page asking people to stop sending her classmates hate mail, because she never wanted any of them to suffer, just to be treated fairly. Plus, she says that some people support her and others don't, and she doesn't want the good ones to be dragged down with the bad. (Of course, the ones she says support her also probably went to the fake prom without alerting her).

Even if what the kids say is true, and Constance is loving the attention (and let's face it, who wouldn't), it is undeniable that this girl has courage and a LOT of character. It would be so easy to just sit back and let them take all the heat, but instead she's trying to help (and these people frankly don't deserve it).

Of course, I doubt there will be any change unless she joins the group herself and tries to actively discourage people. And even then, nothing will make a difference until the group is (inevitably) closed.

But it wasn't the REAL Prom, it was just a party. They can wear whatever they want for a private party, the court can't legislate against that. Or can they? Maybe with the way this country is going...

/Reverse gbaji mode activated

Ok, the facebook group was a poor decision. These kids chose poorly... and now they're going to pay the price. By opening themselves up to internet attacks, they'll realize the consequences of their actions through the toughest means possible: anonymous hate mail and flame attacks. It's a costly lesson, but we know exactly who was to blame...

They may not have known. They may have been told the venue was changed to fake out the press. We don't know.

The good news? Constance will have the support and backing to really make it big once she leaves for college.

The bad news? The people who have abused her will never learn and will think that by treating her this way they have won.

Team Constance!

Actually, this can be psychologically relevant. I remember learning way back in behavioral psych in college that there were several stages of emotional development, and that some people get stuck in certain stages usually associated with younger age groups. And when I say "some" I believe it was a sizable minority of people. The stages were something like the lower ones are "You don't do this because you fear punishment" and the higher ones were "You don't do this because you're assigned moral value to it."

Or something. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Point being that adults can easily be like children in many ways.

There's a theory, though I don't know how well supported or accepted generally, that what we call sociopaths are people whose emotional development has been truncated in infancy.

I'm not suggesting the thought behind it isn't relevant or accurate. It's intuitive.

The way it was put, however, was quite pithy.

Ok, no doubt about it, the Facebook page is sad. But I don't think these kids should be punished by having colleges alerted to their behavior and all that.

I mean, come on. Think back to when you were in high school. At my highschool, there were kids that everyone picked on. Two in particular. One everyone called Swamp Moose. She was teased mercilessly and had no friends. Personally, I treated her nice to her face, but I wouldn't hesitate to laugh at other people when they made fun of her. The only thing running through my mind was, "I could be her. I could be next. I need to not look uncool." I wasn't popular by any means, but I wasn't one of the dregs of the school, either. I knew that my place in the school hierarchy was precarious, and I tried to hold on.

Looking back, I'm mortified. I wish I had stood up for this girl. I wish I had more of a backbone, that I hadn't succumbed to peer pressure. These kids are just following the leader. It's "cool" to make fun of this girl. Hopefully some of these kids have a twinge of guilt for doing this that will come back to them later and they'll learn from their mistakes. But ruining their possible futures for this is ridiculous. Constance had a ****** prom. But her life isn't ruined because of this situation. As a matter of fact, she's making out pretty good with the celebrities and media taking her side. Not that this excuses any of it, of course.

There was one kid who everyone picked on in middle school (me, unfortunately, included). Luckily, I came out and was able to experience it for myself, so I was able to go through high school without being cruel to kids just because others were. It also meant I had a chance to make up for being a **** to the kid early on instead.

But yeah, most people don't realize that kids can be ridiculously cruel. But hopefully most of these kids will realize it earlier rather than later.

We had the same issue with one kid in high school; she got picked on and ostracized. She had maybe three friends, and I was one of them... and even I wouldn't include her in activities, I'd just tell my friends to stop teasing or badmouthing her, and I'd talk to her sometimes. She told me years later that even I had teased her back in elementary school (I didn't remember that at all).

Hey, she graduated early, got her degree a year before most of us, and is working as a legal eagle in DC now. We still talk, and I can say she definitely overcame her troubled school days and got further than most of the people I graduated with.

Granted, she has all kinds of emotional issues. That sorta sucks. Well, hope it turns out better for this girl.

Well, there's also the case of Dyssociopathy which is encouraged in multiple segments of society. It is not the absolute case that someone under this umbrella is a sociopath, just that they feel quite comfortable working with sociopaths.

In some of these bullying cases, (not that I'm putting primary blame on the victim by any stretch of the imagination) the victim really hasn't exercised their ability to deter the bullying. If you just sit their and take it, well, you're going to be taking it until boredom sets in. Often times it's just the case of being self assured enough to mock their attempts or take other measures necessary to secure a better spot in the pecking order.
