Yeah I read that in the paper today

Poor kids and family left

I promise my fellow Orgers i will do no more then flirt in our chatroom!

That is awful.

May he rest in peace.

trust me about 3 years ago i thought about it and a good friend told me that " there are going to be days when you feel that people dont love or appreciate you , but think about the people who actually do and it would hurt them to see you go" hence why im still here.

it's crossed my mind quite a bit lately, how easy it would be but no one around me knows that though.

suicide is painless. Unfortunatley not for those who remain without u.

sad and creepy at the same time. you involve yourself that much in the internet that you share something as personal as killing yourself? i don't know

mine had nothing to do with the internet, it was a case not realizing people who loved and appreciated me for me being me. i was so lost in my self that i didnt see those who actually cared.

IAintTheOne said:

well thats different and i'm sorry you felt that way and i'm glad you came around to see that people do love you for who you are before it was too late . in this guy's case it just seems to me that this subject is so introverted-so personal that to expose it publicly is in a sense some creepy/weird form of need for attention on a whole nutha level imo. i feel bad for him and i feel bad for his family-especially his kids

in some cases people commit suicice for the need to be free from here, i can see that, sometimes people's 3rd eye become fuzzy and dont realize that suicide is selfish and that "freedom" is not up to you

When I start to feel like that I think of something my friend gave me years ago:


Whoever you are, there is someone younger who thinks you are perfect.
There is some work that will never be done if you don't do it.
There is someone who would miss you if you were gone.
There is a good reason for becoming better than you are...
There is a place that only you alone can fill.

I'm going to keep that, there is someone who has been my angel.

another friend of mine once said " some days there's going to be rain in your life but you know the rain makes the flowers smell better dont you think?"

That's fucked up What's even more fucked is that people were encouraging him to do it. I use Pal Talk too I'm glad I wasn't on that day. I saw the room they were talking about, but I never used it. I think they should shut it down for good. I'm sure some people viewing that cam are probably scarred now. I'm curious to know why he'd subject himself to insults in an insult chat room if he was severely depressed. That would be the last place I'd go. If only he had thought about his kids. This isn't the first time a live webcam suicide has happened though. A few years ago, a 21 yr. old boy in Arizona OD'd on a cocktail of prescription drugs while people watched online. They even posted the boy's final chat transcript.....sad to see a lot his online friends pushing him to do it. I think his case was just peer pressure....trying to prove to his friends that he was a heavyweight when it came to drugs. I'm sure webcam chat rooms in general are gonna be under close watch now.

What an awful story. I understand people's need to "deliver" themselves. I've been dangerously close to that point before, and it's a stark, lonely place to be. But I don't understand the audacity to do it in front of an audience.

A friend of mine had a brother hang himself about 2 years ago. He posted all sorts of preliminary plans on a message board and his final posting was an ominous goodbye. He had people all over the world -- adults, children, whomever -- who felt so terrible and powerless... perhaps as he felt. People do drastic things when they're in the throws of pain, futility, etc. But what gives some of them this sense that they have a right to perhaps forever effect perfect strangers in such a way? I don't understand.
