This webpage allows you to send in tips and things you haven't got the guts to say in person, which are then posted anonymously on the Facebook page, for all to see.
Does that ring a bell? Set us on The Upper East Side and we've got our very own Gossip Girl.
This is a bad thing. Obviously. Whether the things posted are true or not, it's a degrading way of dealing with things that we are old enough to know how to cope with by now. I had more faith in my generation, that we wouldn't resort to some kind of Gossip Girl - Burn Book. It would seem I was wrong.
"Calling somebody else fat will
not make you any thinner. Calling somebody stupid will not
make you any smarter. And you've got to stop calling
each other sluts and whores.It just makes it all right for
guys to call you that."
Does that sound familiar? It should. It's from the world-famous movie Mean Girls. And I hate to side with cliche, but it's true. What's the point in standing up for ourselves constantly if everyone else believes it's okay to publically humiliate us and tear us down all the time?
Although not personally affected by the website, why am I the only person who feels this is a terrible idea?
I expected more of you Winchester.
Lex.
