Watching one of my favorite Without a Trace(s). One of the lines in the show is: How could this kid have so many enemies? Because 75% of us would have followed the Nazi's. Because it's easier to "kick a man when he's down." We follow the crowd AND do what's easiest. It's difficult to stand up for a cause - especially when no one wants to hear. One of the biggest sins that is committed is the sin of complacency. We don't want to hear about the bad in the world. It's just easier to go along with our own life and ignore the suffering in the next world, or the next block, or, next door.
I "enjoy" this episode because it demonstrates how kids can be so cruel to one another - both in person and through cyberbullying. How everone wants to fit in, and how far they'll go in order to do so.
