GwynethJones's insight:
WOW....this is another example of an unattractive sense of entitlement that some of our kiddos exhibit. Rather than be embarrassed over being fired and called out, she's unrepentant and proud! WOW! Being E-Famous will not pay the bills. Esp. with this attitude. And months later, people still find this story and RT it. Also, the comments are interesting. That being said, I'm REALLY glad there wasn't social media when I was growing up. I shudder to think the mistakes I would have made!

Problematic apps that are popular with kids and full of inappropriate content keep popping up. It’s like a game of whack-a-mole: just when you get a handle on one and smack it down, another one pops up. The latest offender: the app Yik Yak.
