Teen Disrespect... Parent Shoots Laptop
A teenager wrote an angst filled and disrespectful post on her Facebook page. Just about every four letter word was included. More to the point, the letter was simply hateful and obviously not meant to be read by her parents. However, since the family dog had a Facebook page, abet seldom used, it trickled down into her father's hands.
Having spent all day and $130 upgrading said laptop on which this missive was typed, Dad did a slow burn. Next in the video he uploaded, we see a laptop computer sitting in the grass. This is followed by a visual of a gun. Eight slugs smash into the laptop.
The text is below if your computer cannot for whatever reason play video. The link to the video is included for computers who let their owners indulge in video.

[i]My daughter thought it would be funny/rebellious/cool to post on her Facebook wall just how upset she was and how unfair her life here is; how we work her too hard with chores, never pay her for chores, and just in general make her life difficult.
She chose to share this with the entire world on Facebook and block her parent's from seeing it. Well, umm... she failed. As of the end of this video, she won't have to worry anymore about posting inappropriate things on Facebook...
Maybe a few kids can take something away from this... If you're so disrespectful to your parents and yourself as to post this kind of thing on Facebook, you're deserving of some tough love. Today, my daughter is getting a dose of tough E-love.[/i]

this is why i monitor what my kids put on their walls. they can't get away with anything. when their friends post anything that i think is inappropriate, i remind mine not to respond or even think about writing anything similar to what was posted. some kids just don't realize how easy their lives are now today. when we were growing up, we played with the kids in the neighborhood. we didn't meet people across the world. when we even thought about cussing at our parents, here comes the bar of soap!! you just didn't disrespect your elders, family or not. getting paid for chores? ha!! you got your butt beat if you didn't do your chores! that's the way we were taught about responsibilities. if we wanted something extra nice, we had to do extra chores to prove that we deserved to have something nice. i don't blame that daddy. but, instead of shooting up the laptop, i would've sold it on craigslist or ebay, put the money in the savings account.

I was born in '68, meaning I was a kid in the '70's and a teen in the '80s. If I had emotion to get out, I did it via drawing and not questionable words because the parents were indeed 'right there'. Drawing allows a kid to get away with a lot of angst due to its abstract nature.
