At the risk of sounding callous, I'd say that THIS is a top contender for this year's Darwin awards.
What a pathetic idiot...

This reminds me of the trend of kids dieing by hanging while masterbating.
Rediculous.

This makes me think that if you're dumb and weak minded enough to do that, you deserve to die... although if you're dumb enough to say "pass out in front of the camera so we can see you" then I want to know who this person is and where they live so I can go and CHOKE HIM! Grrrrrrrr.
And here I was beginning to think that people in the world were getting smarter, thank god there will always be Americans. [img]tongue.gif[/img] |

this kind of things is not suprising, just the other day before CNY, there was this woman sitting on the ledge of a building apparently wanting to jump down. everybody on the ground shouted for her to jump down, some even went betting to see if she jump or not. * sigh *

Yes, their not supposed to die. They orgasm right at the point of exfisiation (sp?). Suposed to be a rush. A kid in Eureka,CA did it and didnt quite make it to the point where, I guess, your supposed to lift yourself up or some such crap. I was friends with some guys who knew the kid in highschool. They showed me the newspaper report on his death. Pretty cazy.

My, aren't we all quick to condemn the kid? Sheesh. Do you have any idea what kind of mental anguish and agony leads a person to contemplate suicide? Teenagers are usually more vulnerable to those feelings than others, thankfully they're not normally strong enough to lead to actual death, but sometimes they are. Does any of you actually KNOW anything about what that kid felt? Yeah so he was an attention seeker, does that mean he deserves to die? The article said he was prescribed anti-depressants earlier. He might have suffered serious depression. Now, a lot of teens sometimes get those feelings, and usually their "suicide attempts" are just cries for help/attention. Don't you think it's at all possible that when this kid went online, he was looking for just that? Help, attention, some sympathy. In that state of mind, already feeling useless, unloved and better off dead, what the hell do you think happens if people encourage you to kill yourself, laugh at you, ridicule you, don't take you seriously? Of course, you think "See? I KNEW all along. I'm better off dead". And there he goes...
He was stupid, an attention seeker, probably not too clever, and a bit of a drama queen. But he was probably also a troubled, depressed teen with no clue what to do about it. He did not deserve to die like that. It's the people who egged him on that are despicable and stupid. And it's the few who tried to help him that we should be thankful for. A suicide threat should ALWAYS be taken seriously. Which do you prefer? Treating someone who threatens suicide like a pathetic attention seeker with the risk of that person killing him/herself? Or taking the threat seriously with the risk of having put your time and effort into a drama queen? I know which one I will always choose. Granted, on rare occasions we can make an educated guess at how sincere the threat is, but this case shows that not taking it seriously can actually MAKE it serious, can be the final straw. Sorry for being vehement about this, but I don't think you have a right to judge people quite so quickly. [ 02-04-2003, 08:36 AM: Message edited by: Melusine ]

You should be ashamed to say that someone deserved to die without knowing anything about his life, about the reasons that made him take drugs and so... This guy and all the ones that watched are somehow deconnected from reality, they need help, not insults. I see only one good point in this very sad and awful story : maybe it made some of them change their mind about drugs.
