This is very disturbing to hear, but what gets my stomach in 100 knots is these fuc**** viewers who encouraged it, is this what humanity is coming to? there is some sick a$$ people in this world, how can you encourage someone to take their life? are you that bored?.....OMG!!! this just makes me want to scream, all those people that pushed him to take more drugs should burn in hell......slowly....
I think it is simply the oh so common psychological confusion of teenagers that can make them do this. The fact that it was shown on a webcam perhaps for some attention or sympathy or simply to show just how much the world is falling into turmoil. Quite sad, but we must live on. The learned man - namely a psychologist of some sort- would name it many things but in the end it's called self-inflicted death. Hard to contemplate. Aaaaanyway, i'm off to a more cheerful subject now lol. What are your thoughts on teen suicide on live Internet web cam?
My thoughts are the people who encouraged him are mean and cruel.



My other thoughts are: We need a system so people know how to report it when this stuff happens, and who to report it to. I had someone frighten me and I didn't know HOW to get them help. How do you get someone help if you don't know where they live, their name, even what flippin country they are in or state? It's really hard to know what to do. You can write the website whatever it is (myspace, multiply, yahoo ) but you might wait a whole day for an answer. So what do we do when someone needs help? We need to know what should be done in these circumstances. Someone should make it clear HOW to get help. Some of us want to help people who are threatening suicide, and we do not know how.What are your thoughts on teen suicide on live Internet web cam?
It is a sad commentary on our society that people watched and no one responded sooner to help by notifying authorities who have the ability to trace the location and help.



If the hosting website was aware of what was occurring and failed to act they should be held both criminally and civilly responsible.
I think it is horrible. Horrible that a person can be in so much pain that he felt suicide was the only option. Horrible that people encouraged him. Horrible that the people close to him did not see his need for help

Horrible that a stigma is place on mental health issues.

It is all just too sad for words..


It's very very sad when people think that taking their own life is providing enjoyment for someone else. I think this guy was crying out for help and there was no one who cared.




Thats just aweful... ):
