Personally I think the people in this thread who are saying "Ripper" deserved to die are stupid and ignorant. (No offense guys-I speak 'cause I've known people who were either depressed or addicted to anti-depressants).

Depression is deep. Okay, so some teenagers get it naturally. I've just been through it. I'm usually a bright person so once I stopped moping I realised it might be better if my dad left. I associate with a girl who is addicted to anti-depressants. Her doctor refuses to prescribe her any more and we're all there for her but it's not easy for her.

I've known, either indirectly or directly, people who are addicted to anti-depressants.

Listen to this. Your life feels like its crumbling around you. You feel constantly unloved, unaccepted and unappreciated. Then, you find people who seem to like you, albeit on an internet chatroom. You want to impress them, to keep the few friends you've made. You don't know how else but to take your anti-depressants. At the start you feel encouraged by their reactions. You are gulping down anti-depressants. You feel invulnerable, no longer connected to such trivial things as an overdose-death. The guys here like you. You take some more to keep impressing them, to keep feeling popular.

Finally, it's too much. You're dead.

Like I said, I've been depressed myself. It's not fun. You feel everyone hates you, that whenever you say something they just think, "Oh my God, it's that insignificant little girl again." It was a lot worse in his case if he was anti-depressants. I don't think it was his fault. Whatever made him depressed killed him, not the drugs, or even the people there.
