Don’t hesitate. Speaking as a Trained Professional Social Worker (MSW), borderline would be my first rule-out.

This interview is pure exploitation; it’s gross that CBS ran it.

I just perused her Instagram. Very intetesting. Seems she was fairly normal until a few months ago. Her last 3 posts are totally nuts. Her old Chi’s are cute...I hope they’re okay.

The police don’t seem to do a good job addressing stalking until the stalker escalates to the super illegal stage a lot of the time, unfortunately. You hear the same refrain from female victims all the time, that they don’t take the threat an obsessed stalker presents seriously enough soon enough.

I wonder what her diagnosis is? Manic episodes rarely last over four months, they either run their course or people collapse from exhaustion long before that. 500 text/ day with 8 hours off to sleep, eat, shower (although it’s possible she didn’t do some of those things, given the state she was in) is one text every…

I love stories for a purely selfish reason: I can tell myself that “ok, I did do [slightly unhinged thing] but at least I didn’t send 65,000 texts to someone”. But I do feel bad for both of them. She’s obviously not even the least bit in control of her behaviour and emotions, and he must have been scared as hell

Money. Also, you’d be amazed how often the LGB part of the community is ok with a little fudging when it comes to the T part of the community.

Yes. Gender is a social construct, while sex tells you if you have a penis or not.

It’s a sex reveal, not a gender reveal. However all of these insufferable expecting parents probably think “sex reveal party” sounds too saucy. I’m really over these reveals and they make me cranky. I think I’m now officially an Old.

First I want to say I don’t know what I watched up there. It was awful and I sincerely hope my kid doesn’t grow up into...that.

I am not seeing anything that qualifies as abuse (and I’m a mandated reporter) but definitely exploitation.

Yeah, if this poor kid ever grows out of this/is able to escape her parents, I don’t envy the shame-hangover that is sure to follow.

One paragraph in, I already knew I was not going to be looking at this kids videos or instagram.

I kinda feel like child protective services should have been called before publishing this. It’s clear this girl is being abused... and maybe just maybe there needs to be responsible adults looking out for her welfare before she ends up dead in an overdose as a Jane Doe.

It’s a good camouflage for wobbly bits and paunch surprise parties.

It also seems like there is something fundamentally incompatible in how middle/high school is structured and how adolescents are developing socially. It encourages kids to form groups and to create a hierarchy- with everything from academic rankings, student “government,” sports, and literally crowning kids at dances.…

Ah, so you haven’t seen it. Because pretty much none of that is true.

Maybe different people receive the show in different ways, but I didn’t see Hannah’s suicide as “peaceful” or “the right thing to do” at all. I thought the actual scene was horrifying and ugly and panic-inducing and I also felt that at the last minute, Hannah wanted to take it all back. Like she knew she had made a…

It reminded me so much of what happened with Amanda Todd and I think that distressed me more than anything. I stopped watching at like episode 10, I didn’t have it in me to watch the rapes/wrist-slashing. It was too triggering for me and I’m 37, not 17.

It’s for a ticket to Argentina and a couple months rent.
