It's so important for parents to watch their kids behavior on-line just as much as they do off-line. This is just sad these kids went this far to hurt others.

'Gossip Girl'-Style Facebook Scandal Plays Out at Conn. Prep School

AOL News Surge Desk (Nov. 23) -- America's elite prep schools may be portrayed as envious, insidious bastions of backstabbing politics on television, but in the real world they sometimes turn out to be -- well, pretty much the same.
Connecticut's famous Choate Rosemary Hall, once home to JFK, Ivanka Trump, Edward Albee and others, has become embroiled in a Facebook scandal that seems ripped from an episode of "Gossip Girl," The Daily Beast's Lynnley Browning reports. A group of Choate students are in serious trouble after posting flames to a 200-page private Facebook thread titled "Mwaahhahaha," where they attacked other students and bragged about drinking and taking drugs.
"You know it is possible to say no when someone tries to have sex with you. Just throwing that out there. Like no is still an option, you whore," read one post.
"EWWW, SHE'S SO GROSS AND FAKED AND SPRAY TANNED," wrote another.

So, students are posting on Facebook what billions of teens and young adults have said in person to each other throughout history? I'm just shocked.
