Facebook is NOT the appropriate place to vent.
Sure, everyone has to vent about something. You're completely allowed to vent about how much of a douche your boss is, but if you do it to his face you'll get fired.
Posting something about someone on Facebook is essentially the same thing as saying it to their face. It's a public social network. It will get back to them one way or another.

Shouldn't the crazy nerd taking the words the wrong way should be at fault or even the fact that nerd actually try to do it ? Not the person?Law said:

You worry me Law. That post... nobody here mentioned having sex with her. She's 13 years old for crying out loud. Why would you bring it up unless the thought has crossed your mind? I'm truly at a loss for words here.
By definition it is not a threat.
threat (thrt) n.
1. An expression of an intention to inflict pain, injury, evil, or punishment.
2. An indication of impending danger or harm.
3. One that is regarded as a possible danger; a menace.[/p]
If she posted something like "Osama Bin Laden is going to kill my math teacher" that could be interpreted as a threat as there is a direct intention of harm.
Wishing is kind of like wanting. This girl probably just had too much homework and was frustrated. Much like a lot of teenagers say they wish their parents were dead, but would never want harm done to their parents, they're just being angsty.
I think a 5 day suspension is a little much. I dont think this is a good enough reason alone to take her out of school. The only "punishment' I see fit here is a transfer to another teachers class and maybe some counseling, and a lesson on what is appropriate to put on the internet.

well, you're going to be questioned by a secret service agent first, for the safety of the president's daughters - one IS thirteen (or at least she will be turning 13, since she was (supposedly) born in 1998 and it's 2011), you know.Law said:

It's seriously a google search away.
We better stop this bullcrap before this is locked. We all just foolin' tards anyway.

Dumbest reason to be suspended ever.
If it's not in school, the school system shouldn't do anything. I had the exact same thing happen to me back when MSN was so popular.
I had a profile, and there was this one bitch teacher who hated me so much. After a bad day in class with her, I went home, just called her a bitch, I used no names or school names, bam, suspended. Apparently schools own their students even if they're off school grounds :/

Better that than locking the thread completely. Honestly, I...I just don't know why it would even be thought of in the first place.
Let's move on then.
Anyway, yeah, I still think it's rediculous, but there's worse problems in the world.
taking a teenager out of the learning environment could be detrimental to the rest of their year, especialy if they are already behind. I mean if the teacher for some reason really does see this girl as a threat, I would understand removing her, like into another class.personuser said:

The schools don't really care.gloweyjoey said:
Suspensions usually don't make much of a difference as the student is free to do whatever he wants at home. As for detentions, it's silly to keep a kid locked up in a room doing nothing for a set amount of time.
As for the topic at hand, the student was stupid enough to post that on Facebook where anyone can see it. Although, I doubt that was intended as a serious death threat.

Not really. When your suspended, they give you a work package that they would be teaching in class at that time. So you're still doing everything, you just don't get the help, see your friends or anything.
