As someone who was but has absolutely no pride in saying they were a complete numpty as a teen and at 46 is still paying the price for it I have a lot of empathy for Paris Brown but absolutely no sympathy for her current situation.
There is sadly thanks to social media a forum were the moronic can dish out their beliefs and opinions with the mindset that it's perfectly OK (idiots class it as free speech) and there is very little if any, apart from in Paris's case, consequence for doing it.
Social media has, in a way, become the local underpass wall for some to daub an insult on and it's about time that it stopped.
There will and are bleeding hearts supporting 'a child that has made a mistake and is now paying the consequence for it' but while it may be a price to high for supporters of Paris, if her losing the role she had stops even one troll then it probably is a price worth paying.
Paris isn't a typical teen, she's an example of some teens who, while growing in numbers thanks to things like Twitter, need to be taught that in life there is (or at least should be) consequence for actions taken.
Should the scars last for the rest of her life, like mine? No, if she's learnt a valuable lesson then she should be applauded for learning it but should she be left in a post to show that making the so-called mistakes of the type she has made won't mean anything then the answer to that question is also NO.
