    Can we prove that this kid was dead? I, personally, don't think this is true unless there is proof. If it is true, then rest in peace.

    What part of, he was bipolar and depressed (to show that he was "mental") and that it was reported by the BBC (to show that it is almost certainly true) do you not all understand? =/

    what was the name of that movie again?

    also, not to sound unsympathetic, but i think he was trying to get attention or something. or maybe his online post threatening to suicide or maybe the video itself was a cry for help? i still think he should've gone to a family member or friend for help, it's unfortunate he did what he did.

    The funny thing about this was, if he wanted his attention, he got it. But only for week, next week, everyone will have forgotten all about this, but the mother and father have to deal with this for the rest of there lives, not to mention, knowing their child is all over the internet as a tragedy.

    that's very true. i also heard that sites like 4chan and 2Ch (the original Japanese version i believe) are getting controversial because people actually planned "group suicides" or something. but i wonder why the guy posted about a suicide on a body building website.

    Why on earth would someone commit suicide over the web? What purpose did that teen what to protray? Our generation has sunken to a new low and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Suicide is a cry for help that is not received in time and could have been prevented. It is not a funny manner. The video better be taken down if it hasn't already or else it is going to send a bad message to others thousands who are viewing it. I still can't believe that actually happened.

    Even if a person did commit a suicide online, which is pretty strange, it doesn't deserved to be loled. That's just horrible.

    the human race ceased to surprise me many moons ago.......theres a phrase, "cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen?" well, same applies for the internet, its full of people just waiting for the opportunity to put someone else down.....every site has them, there are no exceptions......if your looking for compassion, the internet is definately not the right place

    They do that because they realize there's no negative draw-backs. I don't consider it heartless, it's just the way a lot of people on the internet are.

    Really sad.

    I saw the news story on that. It was very sad because people just simply laughed as he said he was going to kill himself. That is just cruel. Especially seeing as he was bipolar and the people giving him "lol" as a reply probably made him think that life was just a joke.

    I know people are going to be upset at the 'coldness' of the people online responding with lol, omg etc, and that they find it 'funny'. I'm sure some were expressing a 'wtf' as well and weren't even sure if the situation was actually true or not. It's an 'amazing' thing out of nowhere to happen and well, their reactions were shock and disbelief. As cold as they may have been, it is more cold that this idiot took his life and felt the need to broadcast it to others that can't do crap about it and also won't know for sure it's even real as there are people on the internet who will use 'suicide' as an escape so they can leave the forum or chat network often enough. I've known a few people who went and said they'd kill themselves, or they'd come on line as someone else saying 'so and so killed himself so he won't be back' and then waiting for people to react before going off. Some of these morons later try to come back to the channels or forums as someone else.

    So my point basically is that it's too hard to even tell what's real when people do these sorts of things on the internet. After being faked out enough times, some of us just might get the attitude of 'well go do it then. More power to ya' because it's simply stupid. We become jaded to morons and if someone does actually commit suicide, for all we know on a chat, the 'cop' or person giving the message of it is probably fake too. So, I'd actually consider how selfish the idiot was who committed suicide in the first place instead of slamming those who reacted because at this point, with how many 'fakers' there are on the internet, we get used to it and react rather appropriately. Suicide in itself is a selfish thing to do. There's no need to slam others who can't even verify if it was done, let alone the fact that these idiots decide to tell others they are going to do it and go ahead with it. Maybe those who want to talk about committing suicide so candidly to people who can't even see their faces should consider therapy instead of messing with others and ruining their days. Maybe they should get earnest help from people they can look in the eyes and explain their problems to or they should just go quietly without having to drag others through the mud.

    Yes, it's cold. But after losing people to suicide and also having others 'scam' me to feel emotions for them that are unfounded because I can't verify and they are deceiving... yeah, I think it's kind of justified at this point. They make their decisions. If I was there irl and someone told me such a thing, I could do something about it. On the internet though, we are powerless and the people who fake injuries, fake suicide, proclaim a real suicide attempt to garner sympathy and cause confusion... they deserve a few 'lols' because it's just plain wrong that they attempt to make others sad for them. Many people on the internet 'care' for others. We don't deserve to be used whether that person dies or not.

    Most people are just so de-sensitised to issues like war and suicide that they just don't care anymore. I am on the verge of that myself, why should I go out of my way to feel sorry for someone I don't know and will probably never know when I have enough problems closer to home (but not necessarily in my own life)?
