Young blogger in trouble

I was quite concerned about a Form Four student who was asked by her school to remove a blog article about an allegation which has a potential threat to students and teachers of her school. She is claiming that there were people who cheated during the recent examination but teachers have decided not to do anything with it.


I do support what the school has done by asking her to remove the blog because it was only an allegation and there was no evidence to back up her claims. I think the school is taking all necessary steps to ensure that this case is to be thoroughly investigated.


I don't blame the student who wrote the blog. It is a matter of freedom of speech but there should be a limit in what we write. I don't think a blog is there to allow us to write anything freely because we live in a civilised world. We don't live alone, hence the need of cooperation, law and moral to guide us all. Well, Baron Montique was quite right over here.

The Young Girl could be right you know...?

Well, yes. What we need is a thorough investigation. It might take ages to complete such an investigation, you know?

What if The Young Girl has proof in the form of other witnesses in the number of almost half the class?
What The Young Girl wrote in that entry was about how she felt when she saw a close friend of hers who she never thought would cheat cheating right in front of her eyes and how much it hurt her.
Unfortunately, the names of the said people are also in there, as she thought only those close to her would read it as her blog wasn't very well-known?
I am that young girl. Cheers.
