It's kind of scary to me that a teenager could be so mean.  Likely born evil, imho.  Psychopath is what she is.

I know, right?   Back when I was a kid (about 200 years ago), the extent of the 'mean kids' were the boys who would either call girls ugly or start fights (fist fights - no weapons) with the boys.

Furthermore, there were never that many of them.    To this day I remember only one real mean kid.  His name was Leonard.  For many years that name was tainted for me, due to the impression left by this kid.

She is a psychopath.

I hope she rots in jail.

She'll see the inside of a prison and have a blast as socio and psychopaths do!

Wow, you made a real point there 😨  @MickD

Richard Allen Davis, and that horrible man who killed the nursing students, on and on.

She had her own mental issues long  before she got involved with this depressed boy.  She needs help. I doubt she will get help  locked up in prison.

There is no hope for psychopaths.  That's what she is.  She was likely born this way.  She needs be locked up for the rest of her natural life.  A sociopath is created.....they can be helped [maybe].

@itiswhatitis unfortunately both "paths" are personality disorders in which a person is born with those specific traits.  They are very resistant to treatment.  I worked with a couple...epic failures....one followed me home....I lived....skeered the bejeesuz out of me though.

@MickD, actually a Sociopath is usually diagosed as having an anti-social behavior character flaw which is found in the DSM V.

The psychopath shares some traits of the sociopath, but a psychopath is typically that way from early childhood through adulthood.  One can develop behaviors of a sociopath (anti social behavior) and can be treated.  Don't know how successful this is.  A psychopath there is absolutely no hope for and displays characteristics that are fixed (no conscious).  A sociopath can have a conscious but not a psychopath.

Glad to hear she was found guilty. I also feel that cyber (sp?)bullying should be dealt with more seriously. There are many kid's who have killed themselve's because they are tormented by bully's over social media.

@itiswhatitis They're very close in traits.....where the socio is like a Kazinski and a psycho is like a Bundy....both equally scary and untreatable.....so apples and oranges!

@MickD that's not true.  Let's not take the thread off the rails though.

Some sociopaths are thought to be created, some born that way.

Psychopaths are born without a conscience.

Part of the confusion is because some therapists have argued over the semantics for years.

[MickD]

@Noel7 exactly and now they're both lumped under antisocial personality disorder in the dsm.  I am just reading....no semantics @itiswhatitis...I haven't worked with any in years.
