Hi everyone, In case you haven't heard about it, a 19-year old MySpace member recently committed suicide in front of his audience during a live self-broadcast on a forum. Here is my latest post about it, and did some research on how to stop the others. The Latest Online Suicide Victim and How to Stop the Others Hope we learn from it.
That's horrible. I hate it when these stories about how kids kill themselves after being bullied online...
Read about this earlier today. Extremely sad. I don't think he was being bullied... he apparently invited people to come watch the video and they just egged him on... but it was all sparked through his own words and ended with action.

Well it's very stupid to do that... not only for the person itself, but mostly for the people around them... It's an egocentric thing... You only think about yourself when you do that... Some people say: "Well, I understand it" ... Well, I know some people fighting against sickness to live... So making an end by suicide is totally stupid Still it's bad to hear about the kid.. he had a full life to go still... Greetz
I hate to read stories like that but things like this happen all of the time time, so it is not new. Sorry for the lack of sympathy, but i read, hear and see this sort of thing every day. Mike
was it the misc section of bodybuilding.com? edit: it was misc section bodybuilding.com.... I haven't been on there for over year.. I use to be a popular member.
Apparently, the news says that the people watching did not took it seriously so the police came in late. The original forum thread was deleted together with the series of posts. Thanks for your eagerness to help. The victim made a long suicide note as his last forum post. I really hope he will be the last one.
This is really sad.. I heard the news yesterday.. the boy said his father trusted him so much to the point that the father expected only great things from him (the boy).. He said he couldn't bear it when he let his father down.. the only thing he could do is to end the shame by commiting suicide.. what a sad story.. Rest in peace poor boy!
