Everyone is capable of a crime, that's simple enough. The issue is just the degree and context of which precautions are being taken.

10 years ago a kid would have written this kind of excerpt in a paper bound journal: "Teacher X is a jerk. He treats me like and idiot everyday! Sometimes I wish I could just bash his head in till he shuts up for good."

Today they type it in a digital variant of the journal to share their feelings with their friends. The kid whom wrote that in his paper journal a decade ago graduated and never once came close to doing anything about it. The only difference is now we can read their journals--is it any suprise that teenagers might express something other than a crush? It was an expression taken way out of context.

People talk bulls*** all of the time, especially hormonal teenagers in journals. Livejournals, Xangas, & Myspaces are places were EMO b****ing and melodrama reign supreme. The simple fact that the ENTIRE school year passed without any notice of this treat is a testament to how serious it isn't. This is just overreaction and paranoia at work.
