A online suicide
Posted by: hivgal on: November 22, 2008
Call me jaded and you would be correct l am.I have seen to much of what we call human behaviour to be anything but jaded.But this news story took it to a whole new higher level.A young man comes online with his webcam on and is going to kill himself.People watched as he took the pills and sat there and chatted?Laid down on his bed in his room to die?Read the comments people were making?What was going through his mind as people debated if he took a strong enough dose of pills to die?
Did he really want to die?Or was it a online cry for help that wrong? Very wrong?
We will never know the answers to that l suspect and it bothers me to no end.Only a few people got the mods and reported a problem.
Has a life become worth so little that watching someone killing themself/s become a new form of online entertainment? This is not the first time it has happened their are two other cases of men killing themselves online.
What bothers me is one he was blogging 12 hours before he killed himself about wanting to kill himself.
Two he said he wanted to do this before and so some or a lot of people did not take it seriously this time either.
In my mind anytime anyone tells you they want to kill themselves it’s serious cry for help.They may not do it but that the person saying it has gotten to a point of emotional pain they cannot no longer cope.I have thought about it and l have talked to friends who have thought about it.All very strong people who at one point or another thought suicide was the answer.Some of my friends over the years that have told me they thought of it shocked me l never would of thought of it of them.And that is just it no one thought this young man would do it either.
I just feel a bit more jaded…..
And l guess with the net anything goes now days…
Sad indeed.
