Its called "STUDY HALL"
I don't have homework so I go on the computer.

Quit calling her a damn child...geez.
I'm not feeling sorry for her - she can either stick up for herself or leave - she's not captive.

I'm asking what pleasure some are deriving from abusing her? There's an implicit question right behind that one, too.

On and Beestie...

You see April represents everything I hate about the idiotic teen mothers of today. Thats why I am an ass to her. Oh sure she's not the worst kind there is, but still pretty damn bad...I don't like having her around.
I want her to leave.

You may say "Well to do that you just have to ignore her.".

Yet if I ignore her it'll just be people who feel sorry for her stupidy and post "Oh April I know you're doing the right thing. Just do what you feel is right and everything will be ok! You're doing great!"

That will certainly not make her leave.

If I can turn everyone agaisnt her then she will no longer feel welcome and the negative attention isn't as pleasent or bearable as some may think.

On the other hand I am somewhat curious to see how her messed up mind works.

In this case it sounds like it would work about as well as getting blood from a stone.

And not to be a killjoy or anything but why so many in this forum continue to take delight in focusing such unbridled hostility on this child is also a relevant question (to me if no one else, anyway).
Yes, it is a relevant question (child or not).

I wanted to know why she endures the abuse (willingly) because I actually find the fact that she does sort of disturbing.

As FnF asked, why would she not read a good book (or a bad one for that matter) instead of this? Why would she not take an interest in bettering her situation in some way? To me, this represents an attitude all too prevalent with younger people, which quite frankly, causes me to wonder "what's in the damned water, these days?"

So I would say, my interest in the situation isn't that of berating or abusing april. I feel the need to gain an understanding of why she does what she does, partially out of morbid curiosity and partially because it might answer some of my questions about where our teenagers are coming from. Am I really that out of touch, already?

It's obviously because this doesn't require thought and it's 'work'

Idiots tend to think of 'reading' anything as 'tedious' and 'work'.

Remember she wants to be a gfx designer and make the big bucks?

Yeah I can see that happeneing. She's using all her free time to study and learn gfx applications. Remember how she said that she didn't like Adobe Photoshop and prefered Ms Photo or something like that? Now that was funny...

Last time I checked, "everyone" is quite capable of making up his or her own mind about April, you, or anyone else.

When posters are ass-achingly annoying, other posters tend to respond accordingly. Whether you, April, both or neither fall into that category is left as an exercise for the reader.

Oh sure. You can say that about anything. Like political candidates for example.

But yet they all invest in campaigns. Why?

In order to dig up the dirt on somebody and use that dirt to shape the opinions of others. Duh.

Nothing wrong with that. You're free to make your own opinion and I'm free to attempt to slant them in any way I wish by any means I wish.

I guess I might as well get to the point.

My opinion is that what we have here is a good, ole fashioned, online abusive relationship.

Umm...no

Abusive relationships are characterized by extreme jealousy, emotional withholding, lack of intimacy, raging, sexual coercion, infidelity, verbal abuse, threats, lies, broken promises, physical violence, power plays and control games.

But overall it involves 2 ppl who have a RELATIONSHIP.

There is no relationship.

What you have is me generously handing out emotional abuse and April comming back for more.

Apologies for not keeping up with the conversation, things got busy here in real life.

April said: b/c I have nothing else to do this is fun.
Fun. I can't imagine that being a well though-out or truthful answer. Which means one of three things:

1. You meant it, and you're as stupid as FnF thinks.

or...

2. You meant it, and you're a troll.

or...

3. You didn't mean it, and you're still evading the question.

Pick one ("None of the above" is implied, but requires an essay-style answer).
