Formspring

Formspring is an online bulletin board for people to post negative and sexual questions or comments about a person. I've read some different formsprings, and they're all the same. This person is a slut, this person's boyfriend is cheating on them, this person is on drugs. I don't pity the girls that get attacked on their formsprings with mean comments and such because they have the power to reject questions and comments and not have them posted. So maybe girls want the internet world to know that they sleep around or party or wear a certain size bra. It's not victimizing anyone, because people are deliberately allowing it. It's like Gossip Girl for the middle class. I think mostly formspring is directed to girls. I'm sure some guys use it, but for the most part, it's females. It's interesting because I've seen posts asking a certain girl if she was on drugs, and the girl answered the question because it was a popular rumor that she wanted to clear up and end. Does that mean the rumor will end? Of course not, but it may help. There's many reasons why people get formsprings. They want insight on how people see them, they want to clear up false accusations, or they're just bored. But be careful, because formsprings will tell you exactly what people are thinking. Personally, i wouldn't get a formspring, purely because I don't want to know what people think of me.
