Maybe it was about a boy, some said; others said it wasn't. Whatever it was about, the fight in a bathroom at Howard High School of Technology in Wilmington, Delaware, ended in death for a 16-year-old girl. "We know it is happening in the streets, but now we are talking about violence happening in a place that normally should be a safe haven", said Rev. Sandra Ben by the Delaware News Journal newspaper.
A young girl's life was taken away at such a young age and for what reason. There are allegations that it was over a boy and if it was this goes to show us what the media and TV is teaching the youth today. We see in reality TV shows and dramas of fights breaking out between women. We see women fighting over men, rumors, and objects. These scenarios are presented to our youth as being normal and real. But they are not reality. Someone should never be killed over talking to a boy. We need images of women building each other up not trying each other down.
I'm interested to see how the media continues to cover this story. I wonder if they will frame it as a "cat fight," like we see in reality TV shows, or if they will tone it down because it, unfortunately, ended fatally.
