This whole scenario is sickening. Megan parents could have defiantly done a better job but so can most parents around the damn world. But one things for sure adults shouldn't behave in such a juvenile manner. | ||

I definitely don't agree with Skittled either but Megan's parents definitely do deserve some blame for her suicide. What were they thinking letting their already-depressed and instable daughter loose on myspace?! I really wish they had helped her self esteem by making sure she hung out with good people and in-person, not through cyberspace. That's part of the reason why I hate myspace and facebook.. Too many people think of it as a way to connect with people but a  =/= a real human smile. It's just a fucked up superficial world, where people make shiny, glittering images of themselves to impress/judge others instead of really communicating and getting closer with people. Now, I'm not saying that all people are under this spell, but what's wrong with the way we are connected now? Is dialing a seven digit sequence of numbers or walking to a location to meet someone in person that inconvenient? I just think myspace and facebook is a huge waste of time, and really kills the human aspect of relationships.. | ||

You have to be pretty mentally fucked to even think about it and a coward to act on it. Suicide is the easy way out. It's thinking like that which causes kids to kill themselves over school yard drama. This is exactly the kind of thinking that I was saying is wrong. Suicide happens when people are at a moment of deep weakness. Sometimes it involves panic and quick, irrational decisions. Sometimes it involves a gradual slip into depression. There are people who think exactly as you do, that "suicide is for the cowardly, it's for the way out..." who end up taking their own lives, for whatever reason. Everybody has panicked once in their lives. Everybody has hit a low point or an answerless period in their lives. Suicide can creep up on you at times like that. It's certainly not something that you can say "I'm strong so I'll never worry about wanting to kill myself." Granted, it's not healthy either, and it's certainly not the the right way to deal with your issues. (Unless you're Sigorney Weaver as Ripley). I'm not saying that suicide is ever a rationally justifiable or defendable choice. It's not. It's wrong. But to say that suicidees were "weaker" or "cowardly" is also wrong. As I said, it's not a retroactive indicator of mental fortitude. I take suicide to mean that they were in a position where they were unable to see the right decision and could have used some help - a position that we've all been in, one way or another. | ||

and this is such a sad story. Another reason for me to believe how much influence and power the internet has over the lives of people. | ||

We've all done our share of flaming, although not psychological and deceitful, but anyone incapable of dealing with hostility is going to run into major problems on the internet. I think most young kids, especially girls, fall into that category. Stfu skittled. They shouldn't restrict her internet access completly cause than they'll be sheltering her from the real world. There is no defending the adults attacking a hormonal teenage girl with a history of depression. I mean she kill herself and acted like a damn child and that's what she is!!! A fucking pre teen. I want you to go through bouts of depression and see how warp your world is, how the littlest thing would set you off. Add that to the fact they knew Megan has a history of depression well than there's not that much more to say. The best thing to do would be to teach them how to think/act logically, but I understand that's pretty difficult to do with a teenage girl. :/ | ||

There was recently a CS player who killed himself by stepping into traffic. That really pissed me off. Unbelievably selfish act and I don't think anyone was willing to condemn him for it, because they were more consumed with the loss. | ||

did the parents of the old friend KNOW she would even attempt something like killing herself? did marilin manson know he would 'inspire' a school shooting? (even though he did nothing technically wrong, whereas the parents of the old friend did) should you be arrested if, for example, lastshadow hung himself? what im trying to get at is that technically the parents only teased her. wrong, but hardly an arrestable offence. selling a knife to someone who you dont know is a killer isnt a crime. BTW this really isnt my opinion, im just posting the other side of the argument. | ||
