Hey, you're older than I am, babe. Do you really think that video doesn't encourage the Hell out of bullying and cruelty in a way that little girls will be encouraged by it? The thing is that I used to be a teacher, and I got to see the behind the scenes stuff that the kids in the school never saw. I have seen too many kids show their real emotions in the office as they go through absolute Hell and as the people who did it to them are out laughing about it. It is so sick, and it is so not taken seriously by people who really need to take it seriously.

The video glamorizes that stuff big time. It says, "Hey, go for it! Wooo hooooo!!!!" If you can convince me that junior high girls who think that is the greatest video ever (Read the You Tube comments and check the ages.) will say, "That's good entertainment, but it is no way to treat people," then I will change my mind about the video. It's not like a Slayer or a Marilyn Manson video in which the kids who watch it know it's nothing legitimate, except in very rare cases of kids who are seriously mentally ill any way. Avril Lavigne is also aimed at a younger audience. There are nine year olds on You Tube commenting about what a great video it is. How much sense do they have?
