[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She posted an apology on instagram and I think it's quite well done.  Maybe its just damage control and maybe its too little too late for some people, but i'm not sure what she could have said better

I was both mean girled and a mean girl in hs.  I'm very glad social media didn't exist, feel shame about my behavior, and am glad i've grown since then.  Doesn't excuse my behavior then, but we should all be allowed to grow[/quote]

I agree with this.

I am SO glad I have never done very much posting on my opinions on the internet.  Culture shifts.  Things that are funny in 2010 are not seen as funny today.  It's a much faster evolution than it used to be.

I don't know.  I still kind of like her.  But I do agree she needs to knock it off for a bit.[/quote]

I think the way you feel about this may really depend on your own past behavior. I have had people say terrible things to and about me. I have certainly not been a saint, but I've never said anything this nasty to anyone, ever. My "mean girl" behavior was limited to stuff like telling a mutual friend that I didn't like someone -- stirring unnecessary drama before I learned to be more discrete and also understood that it doesn't matter if I like someone.

But I've never just randomly singled out someone less popular and powerful than I am and tried to make them miserable. That's not "oops, well we all make mistakes when we're young" behavior. It's just straight up bullying. If you were a bully, maybe shrugging your shoulders at Teigan's behavior makes you feel a little better about your own. Maybe you'd feel like a hypocrite for thinking less of her, if you've done similar.

But that's exactly WHY we should hold Teigan accountable. This behavior is not okay. It's not a little mistake and it's not something everyone does. It's not something that was okay in 2010 and not okay now. It's bullying. It's cruel. It's someone in a position of power using (and abusing) that power over someone with less power. If that seems like something "everyone" does when they are young, then maybe you should look at your own privilege and ask how you wound up in a position to abuse that privilege to hurt people when you were younger.[/quote]
