How Very Sad...
I was browsing through some messages on a group I belong to, and one of the members had posted the following links regarding a teenager who had her mother murdered:
News Article
Teen's Online Journal
I was horrified by the whole thing, but I also feel so very sorry for the girl in question. From reading her journal, her life seemed fairly ordinary - the usual teen activities and angst. Unfortunately the most recent journal entries have been taken offline - I would assume by the police as they most likely contained things that are being considered as possible evidence in the case.
I would have liked to have seen the more recent entries, as I could not help but feel as I read through the rest of her journal that there may be a possibility that this girl was either doing the typical "oh I wish my mother was dead" teen thing, and perhaps it got out of control with herself and the people she was associating with, or that the steroids that she had been on for a medical condition may have played a role in the whole thing. I just keep feeling that somehow she did not believe that her mother would actually be killed. But then I suppose that could just be me wishing that the situation was better than it actually is.
At any rate, I just had to natter a bit about this - I found myself very drawn to her journal, and I can't help but feel so sad for the waste of lives - not only that of her mother, but also of her own, as she will never be able to really put this behind her, and she certainly won't be able to change what happened. And her poor father and brother - I can't imagine what a state of shock they must be in. From her journal, it sounds as if she and her brother were very close - if she really is guilty of the charges against her, I imagine it would be very difficult for her brother to maintain any type of relationship with her. In that case, he would not only have lost his mother, but his sister as well. And her father would have lost both his wife and his daughter.
I find it interesting how people seem to be reading things into stuff she had written - seeing a tendancy for violence from a few normal teenage angry comments. Hell, even adults often say things like "I'd like to kill him/her" and "I could just strangle him/her" - they don't mean them, it's just a way of letting off steam. And I suspect that the odd comments that I came across in her journal were very much the same type of thing - not necessarily an indication that she was planning on having her mother killed. But who knows? And it sounds like there may have been more in the more recent entries which are not available to be read.
At any rate, enough babbling about this. I just found it very sad and tragic, and as I just finished going through her journal not long ago, I wanted to babble a bit about it. May they all find peace...

OMG that is REALLY sad!!! I wonder too if she really thought it would be done, and if she just wanted to take it "so far" to see how it would feel. God bless them all....
