I think a perspective missing in this affair is that, perhaps, Miley is just a symptom. We have seen several examples of self destruction by young starlets and not all of it is due to external influence.
I have heard here and there, that cutting and scarring is occurring alarmingly more often than the public is aware of. I believe Demi Lovato had famously admitted to this among other things she had to work through. Something in the young female psyche of this and the past few generations has manifested itself in this type of physical abuse to assuage a mental/social/familial issue.
Either way, Miley is taking a lot of warranted heat for her 'acting out', but I think the scope of the problem goes much deeper than yet another public implosion of a once 'innocent' female icon

Well, Sinead's response must have struck a chord because I cannot find any derogatory Miley tweets.

Sinead O'Conner's career famously plummeted after her SNL act at the end of her performance

Most people misinterpreted the message of her protest and took it as a personal religious attack.
Sinead's intentions, I recall vaguely, was as political as it was religious, she's Irish and their religious issues run deep.
...and this is what Sinead took as an attack on her and Amanda Bynes struggle with mental Health....

Which Miley obviously doesn't understand, and Sinead is trying to explain, these posts are old and at a time when things were spiraling in her life, so a "below the belt" shot at someone in the midst of their struggle with their illness
Sinead has done all she can do, if Miley reaches out, as it might appear that she is...

So if youd like to meet up and talk lemme know in your next letter. 
...then Sinead can help, otherwise, she needs to let Miley learn the hard way and deal with the regret in the future.
