Hey darlin, to get respect you must give it.. I know you're 16 but that's the way of the world.

She probably just wanted to talk to an adult.

Again, why did she talk to Obama instead of Trump?

Again, she wanted to talk to an adult........one that wouldn't act like her peer bully and mock her on twitter afterwards.

Trump would have given her a lollipop and told her to go play in traffic which would have been fantastic!!!

Either way, her parents should be charged with child abuse.

Yes...Her mother wrote a book about it. She has been diagnosed with Aspergers, OCD and autism. Greta is very much like my niece who has Aspergers...very high functioning..but..a damn handful to deal with. My niece demands total attention to her 24/7 and if she does not get it? All hell breaks loose. Her mother detailed her problems at length and basically admitted that they just allowed her to dictate much of their lives to keep her calm. I saw the same thing with my niece. I actually can understand some of the parents actions..but..at some point Greta needed REAL professional help.

This was my favorite gif/video from the UN from the past couple of days.

Sure, she's being exploited but unless any of us have kids with severe autism, aspergers, etc., I'm not sure we're in a position to judge. Children with aspergers often have an all-absorbing interest in a specific topic, and I think parents are encouraged to have them embrace that topic they are so interested in.

The moment they made her a public figure for a controversial cause they put her in a position to be judged.

I feel sorry for her. No kid should be used like this. The adults should be ashamed of themselves, especially her parents.

Ditto.
