And then she will be yesterday's news... utterly forgotten except for nostalgic chuckles down the road. And that will likely sting her even more when she figures out that she's not special or important, and her fifteen minutes have come and gone in a less than optimal way.
She wanted to fuck around online with grown-ups, and discovered it's not a nice world out there. Hard lesson, but obviously much more effective than the parenting she's been receiving so far.

Agree with all of that.
Can't decide if it will get better or worse in the future though as part of the problem with her is that her parents probably havn't got a clue about anything on the internet and just let her get on with making a fool of herself.
Now, fast forward 20 years to her 11 year old daughter. Will she be a bit more responsible with her than her own parents have been or will she be such a fucked up mess by then that this episode will look like nothing compared to what her daughter gets up to?
