We live in a world where we can record anything we want at any given time with out phones, iPads and Flips, and there have been some negative consequences for it. Tonight at 9p in the movie Girl Fight on Lifetime we will see one such example.
Haley Macklin is 16 year old teen who like most teens wants to be part of the popular group. Once she is in, she will find out be careful what you ask for. The girls turn on each other as often as they change clothes and when Haley becomes their target she will pay a price that no one deserves. She is attacked by several of her so called friends and they record the whole incident on their cameras in hopes of putting the beating online and becoming famous. After the attack the girls drop Haley off and tell her not to tell anyone. Bruised and bleeding in her hospital bed, she reveals who her attackers are and now she will be attacked over and over again. Now her ex-friends are popular for a different reason and was it really worth it.
I think that all parents should tune in to this telemovie and explain to their kids there is no reason for fighting and that by recording such an incident or any incident like that should never ever be done because it only cause more violence. Don’t get me wrong, I love having pocketsized camcorders where ever I go, I just think we have a responsibility to be careful what we use it for and where we share the contents.
