I'm not sure why, but I had to think really hard for a few seconds to remember what the hell a moose was. That was pretty strange.

This is fucked up. He's not actually a bad looking lad either, just an absolute nutcase.

Good riddance to the cunt. Seriously this is one of the most fucked up things I've ever seen on the internet, in many ways.

Comcast/Xfinity released a statement a just this past day saying that their service offers, "No buffering when playing video games."

On a scale of 1-10 for how utterly ridiculous that claim is, that's pretty much a 10. Comcast basically just proved their trying to rob you of your money.

Teen student jumps to death after she’s caught cheating | New York Post


It sucks how pressured students are nowadays.

Also that teacher didn't need to berate her like that even after she apologized.

While that is sad, they aren't exactly going to say: 'please madam, if you wouldn't mind, I politely request that you please leave the exam hall xx'

Sounds like bollocks imo.

Committing suicide because you got caught cheating on a test? Really? Must have been something going on before that.

No, not really. You don't understand those type of students that feel super pressured to achieve great grades.

Also she publicly shamed the shit out of her. The student said sorry and she kept going on.

Then after the girl killed herself she is all crying about it. Please! you didn't care when you were going into her so hard.

Deej bro what are you on about 'publicly shamed'? What do you expect teachers to do? You don't expect someone to get a bollocking for cheating in an exam? I sympathise but this is baffling.

djchameleon 06-01-2014 07:13 PM

That is why the teacher felt guilty as **** because she kept pressing into her and giving her ****. If you see a kid crying and they say sorry lay off.

Would you still rail into the kid?

Lay off the teacher man, you don't want her to do something drastic.

The teacher is probably feeling guilty because she isn't a bad person.

Come on bro every cunt knows that cheating in an exam is a serious offence and you are likely to get a bollocking for it. That is the risk she took.

Killing yourself because a teacher shouted at you. And she was 17, not really a 'kid'. Old enough to drive a car.

BTW you are talking to someone who got kicked out of school at 13 for something they didn't even do & didn't get a chance to take any exams at all, while it got to me I didn't fucking throw myself into a canal and end it all.

The teacher can't be blamed for shouting at her.

djchameleon 06-01-2014 07:31 PM

Idk why you are comparing your experience to hers. You werent pressured like she was to excel most likely by tiger parenting.

Come on you act like you don't know those type of students that cry over getting an A- because their parents will chew them out.

Yes but if anything it's the parents fault for pressuring her in the first place. Not the teacher's.

I really don't know what you expect a teacher to do when someone is caught blatantly cheating.

hate paper doll 06-01-2014 07:45 PM

I'll agree that the girl probably had other issues making her susceptible to such an overreaction (low self esteem, the stress that comes with a demanding curriculum etc)

The teacher could have handled the situation better though, there was no need to berate someone so aggressively in front of the class. She could just as easily have taken the phone away and waited until after class to lay into her.

The teacher realized that she didn't handle the situation well that is why she felt guilty and didn't teach for a few days.

No she felt guilty because someone had died, anyone would, whether they're in the wrong or not. If you were a manager at a company and you sacked someone for breaking company policy and they killed themselves, you wouldn't feel guilty?

I agree with you most of the time but you're wrong on this one. She is probably a decent person, she shouted at someone for cheating, so what, God forbid a teacher shout at someone for cheating.

Imagine that pupil didn't get caught, passed, then got a place somewhere at the expense of someone else who hadn't cheated. Piss take.

djchameleon 06-01-2014 10:03 PM

I feel like this boils down to cultural differences. You are used to teachers acting ****ed up in classrooms.

I am not saying she shouldn't have punished her for cheating but she didn't have to act the way she did. I guess you are used room teachers pulling BS stunts like that in your country.

Scarlett O'Hara 06-01-2014 10:16 PM

I've never cheated on a test but I have had teachers explode at me and throw me out of the classroom for talking. I did purposely wind a science teacher up so I could see her vein pulsating in her head while me and my friend threw little bits of paper at each other. I was a little ****. But in this case I do agree that it was unnecessary to berate her for it. How do we know she was cheating? She might have been texting a friend?

I think the fact she said sorry and not 'I wasn't cheating' gave the game away a bit.
Plus she was on her phone which isn't allowed so that's basically cheating in itself.

And you're used to living in a country where the teachers are basically helpless and the students are allowed to do pretty much whatever they want? I've been to public school, where discipline was a joke, and I've been to military school, where the teachers were allowed to curse at us and pretty much just short of hit us (a bit of hyperbole, but you get my drift), and the difference was obvious. Yeah, there were smaller class sizes in military school, but it was still a school of serious delinquents who didn't **** around in class. And we weren't terrorized either. We were fine. I'm not saying teachers should be able to hit the kids, but little Jimmy isn't a glass vase. He can take it. Quit being a bunch of pussies.

This student sounded like a basket case with or without this teacher, so to blame her for a girl who was almost an adult killing herself is bull****.

And this article is bull****. It makes sure to call the girl "bright" and "promising" ever time she's mentioned and make the teacher look like a raving harpy. And that the girl "peeked" at her cell phone. If she'd just "peeked" at it I'm sure she wouldn't have apologized when being accused of cheating. Misleading garbage.

Wow i just saw the pics of an old story i heard about FB i thought was a lie but it's actually true.

Awhile ago i heard some girl posted some pics blowing smoke from a Blunt to her baby which oddly enough wasn't my first time hearing that sort of thing but it wasn't until today i actually saw the picture



I may have a heartless misogynist rep around here but i have a 4 old daughter who i luv with all my heart and want to raise right and seeing this baby suffer through this makes me wanna seriously harm that woman.

How can she do that to her own son?

This is the kind of stoner behavior that makes other stoners look bad,
i smoke weed BUT I HAVE NEVER even for a single second thought of doing something like this to her much less post it proudly on FB

but that's not my real problem, my real problem is with the parenting issue

Black Francis 06-05-2014 10:58 AM

I can't stand child abuse, abusing children's trust is about the most evil thing i can think off, not so long ago there was also a story about a guy who killed his baby son over some Xbox games that also annoyed the f*ck outta me, WHY???

Why do that? again, im a gamer too and i would never do this!
As a kid you don't get to choose your parents, you can't defend yourself from their harm. your life and your future is in their hands and to see some parents abuse that in such perverse ways is honestly heartbreaking.

i mean, even when i was single and without a kid child abused really bothered me, but now as a parent IT REALLY bothers me, more so if the parent shows no remorse or didn't learn from his mistakes..

(srry for the double post but i have a cap limit and had alot to say on the subject)
