Audrie and Daisy
Audrie and Daisy really taught me a lot on how one single mistake whether its a joke, a prank or whatever you may call it can turn into a big situation. So in the documentary in Audrie and Daisy the young adults who sexually assaulted both Audrie and Daisy but they're two different stories and incident that happened. The one that got more of my attention was the Audrie story because it was a local story it was in Saratoga high school and I never believed their can be and incident that happens around here like that till that documentary. The documentary showed me that you have to be willing to step up and think about what can happen and what can you do to prevent things from happening like the Audrie story no one prevented her being drawn on while she was naked and they took photos of her also and no one stepped in and stopped it so the poor young girl ended up committing suicide. I think that is very sad because one person could have decided whether if not Audrie lived or died because if anyone stepped into help Audrie wouldn't have been in the situation.
Great blog post! I think that your evaluation of the boys actions emphasizes the issue of group conformity. It is harder to act out against what the group norm is, which in Audrie's case was drawing and sexually assaulting her. It is extremely upsetting to hear stories like this especially knowing these girls were our age . Cases like this have made many girls uncomfortable at parties that are suppose to be a "fun setting." It should be addressed more that if you think something is wrong, you shouldn't be afraid to voice your opinion and take action.
