Yeah, people are idiots.

Did you notice this at the end:

"If anyone is at fault, it should be me for allowing me to do this to myself," she told police. "I don't want to get anyone in trouble for my mistakes. This whole thing is my fault, I keep trying to tell my father that."
And, yet, though we keep telling people they have to take responsibility for their actions, and she is trying, SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE SHE'S A "MINOR" AND THEREFORE CAN'T THINK FOR HERSELF!

Sorry, 'scuse that episode. It's just that with all this hazing crap and other teen-stupidity and -cruelty stuff in the news lately, and people talking about taking responsibility, and then when someone does something really, really stupid but is lucky enough that nothing worse than some mediocre body art happened and is trying to take responsibility for being such a doofus...she not allowed!

Is it just me , or does anyone else see the weirdness here?
