Greek Teen Takes Online Advice, Commits Suicide
 

A Greek teen committed suicide after asking for, and receiving instructions on how to do it online. The teen asked for advice in a chatroom, and a user replied that the best way to commit suicide would be taking a specific agricultural pesticide.

Police found a message on the teen's computer with instructions on how to commit suicide. The authorities located the man who sent the message, but haven't charged him yet.

The teen decided to commit suicide after he broke up with his girlfriend.

  Meh...  
 If it didn't happen now, it woulda happened later, this kid was obviously unstable... it's a real shame. Whatever this internet suicide expert thinks he is doing, someone should knock some sense into him.

  We have a winner!  
 Kudos for the Internet user that had the correct answer to "How do I kill myself?" Don Pardo, tell him what he has won!

  So let me get this straight  
 If someone asked me "What's the best way to kill myself" and I said "I dunno... lie on some train tracks?" and he did, and got killed, its my fault?

Gawd, what happened to personal responsibility.

  Charge?  
 What a freakin joke. The little genetic weakling killed himself. 
 by: RomJeremy   01/21/2005 02:24 PM     
  No No No  
 It's definately not the internet guys fault, but I don't know why you would go around telling people how to do it... population control I guess?

  being betrayed by someone you love..  
 ...does hurt more then anything else. The kid should have had help from friends or family since the signs of deep despair are easily seen. Propably they just left it to time to heal which was a big mistake. He's dead, family and friends moarn after him. People are sooo stupit to not act in time. Just laught untill the joke's gone too far and there is a black coffin. :P

  losing a gf..  
 I understand where the guy is coming from. I broke up with my gf after I found out she started using me for my car so she could do some other guy. We had gone out for just over 2 years when she started doing this. I was not amused.

Luckily a bunch of my friends were back from school/trips to Europe at the time so I hung out with them a lot and they took my mind off it pretty good.

  disturbing  
 That some people will actually make fun of this kind of tradgedy, I wonder if they would be making the same jokes if it were someone they loved? I think the "jokes" posted here show more of a mental problem than even this greek teen had. Go get lives, real ones.
