I feel sorry for that girl... I mean it was her mom that encouraged that "daddy died in iraq" thing... and besides the kid musty have really wanted to go and maybe the mom couldnt afford it.. but still it was wrong.. either way i still feel sorry for that kid...
That mom is messed up.
Telling her kid to say her father died so she can meet some singer.
The mom is to blame and the kid i hope to god,grows up to be a better mom than her own.
Seriously... no one says if it was in the rules: THIS MUST BE A TRUE STORY
so unless someone tells me otherwise- this is completely stupid in my opinion, and they shouldn't have been giving away tickets unless it was well-written, not because her life story is sad.

Whoever organized the contest was sick and pathetic.

Lovesick, I completely and wholeheartedly agree with you. A contest judging 6 year old's essays is sick. And Sandii_Pansyy, you have pathetic morals. The father must feel special.
it's not her fault
her mum told her that her father had died
there is heaps of people that probably would do that to see
my chemical romance or Fall out boy
freakin retarted. My little sister fairly waited for these tickets and got pretty decent seats for ALOT of money. I'm glad they took away the tickets and I hope they gave them to someone a lot more deserving than that. Who lies just for a pair of tickets? It's not like it's that important. The girl was only 6 years old and she didn't have anything to do with it. It was her freakin mother.
That's really pathetic. Clearly isn't the little girl's fault - the mother is to blame here. I mean, as well as ruining the girl's holiday dream she's done something really sick. Pretending someone's dead? That's just horrible. And the kid's gonna have to grow up knowing that 'she' lied! And it wasn't her fault! This kind of thing makes me really angry.
This is truly sad. For someone to lie about something so awful sickens me. But for a 6 year old to do it, its even worse, because its obvious shes not to blame. Her mother is. What has she achieved by this? Teaching a child that if you cant get what you want you should lie to get it. Way to set a good example.
And zephiniah, you are entitilled to your opinion as is everyone else, but peoples opinions do not make them fake. No i dont donate to charity every month, but neither would I go to the extent of lying about something so serious to see my favourite band. True, this is not the worst thing in the world, but its still something people have an opinion on, and is something that quite honestly shocks me.
Voice your opinion, but dont take digs at other people for having theirs.
zephiniah, I think that some of us may lie if it was our favourite band but why lie about something as sick as that? The pain of having a parent die, I don't know how you can lie about that.
God, people like that shouldn't even be allowed to raise children.
It isn't the kid's fault. At all.
Kids like that don't know any better, but it'd be nice if her mother had told her how wrong it is to lie like that, fucking hell.
I don't think the contest was sick and pathetic.
If a kid's father HAD died that year, if their life was THAT bad, then don't they deserve something like that?
I don't think this is either pathetic, selfish or sick. The girl was asked to write an essay which by definition is fiction. Fiction is not true. Thus the essay couldn't all be true.
And then there's the whole theme of the contest. Did they want to see who's got the best writing skills or who's got the most heartbreaking lifestory ?

what the hell are you people your complaining about a girl who doesnt really understand what she did it was the mothers doing first of all and you shouldnt be so disgraced most of you would lie to see your favourite band and lying isnt that bad you live once and youre all being so angry but are you really i mean what the hell you bunch of pathetic people pretending you have morals i hate hannah montana but that has nothing to do with the fact you al seem to care about the world i wonder if you all donate to charity every month i dont but you guys seem to care
get a life ¬!!!
its pathetic the way your like i dont get people like you arent part of a society full of paedophilies and drug addicts there are worse things than lying go get stuck up a tree or something god
