WHAT is wrong with people today! Apparently shes a different type of honor student. The only thing she should be honored for is her stupidity, if that even warrants any type of honor!

Hehe. Secrete.
Maybe her parents were just stupid?
Google News rocks by the way. http://abcnews.go.co...tory?id=2059754

Anyway.
I hate myspace, and I will never ever make an account on it. You can take my word for it too, I did the same with Xanga, despite everyone saying "Oh, you'll cave eventually."

Maybe she was just naive. Maybe both, I guess. I think that's pretty creepy though.

I think the better argument is that good grades doesn't indicate one's level of intelligence.

I don't like this kind of incomplete reporting. There's obviously something we don't know here.

Well, it's pretty blatant that the article was designed on the premise of bashing Myspace.com and other social networking sites. But I agree, that's a prime example of garbage quality journalism. I can't say that I've seen too many good pieces in the news lately though.
