good friend of mine found his mother dead from a self-inflicted gunshot on mothers day. a kid i played baseball with in high school hung himself about 6 months ago, and i had another friend try to slit his wrists but someone found him and took him to a hospital. i just feel that if someone feels things are that bad, thats their choice. but yeah if theres any way to help these people out, so be it.
its fukd up. I mean people shit too much online and take it serious. I also think people live their lives online and get affected by it. Whether that's online relationships, myspace..what ever.
Even though I feel alot of these people talk shit online bekuz they dont have anything to do, I never need to take it far bekuz I dont take it as serious.
I also hope that some katz that get poked fun at dont take it to heart, online forums are just cruel to people's inperfections.
Its just that some people are very sensitive and take these things too personal.
But dont get me wrong, I laugh and poke fun at stupid shit. I just dont hope dude kills himself kuz of it, kuz I never really want anyone to kill themselves.
and for the katz that get fukd up on pharm meds... Nobody can stop you, but still becareful. I've seen a few people OD on pharm meds.

19 years old committs suicide on justin.tv
A 19-year-old man has committed suicide while broadcasting himself on Justin.tv, according to a report at NewTeeVee.
The teenager took an overdose of pills while on camera and was apparently encouraged to do so by commentators on Justin.tv and a bodybuilding site, according to the report.
Justin.tv enables users to broadcast video live to the Internet. NewTeeVee said it confirmed the man's death with the Broward County medical examiner's office, which is near Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. This will undoubtedly raise questions about the power of Web video and whether its voyeuristic nature can go too far.
The young man apparently posted threats of killing himself to Web message boards in the past, according to numerous online reports. Because of this many of those who watched the man's suicide were skeptical that it was a legitimate suicide attempt and began mocking him.
Some viewers did take him seriously and contacted the Broward County Sheriff's Department. It appears that deputies broke into the man's room and discovered his body.
In response to the tragedy, Michael Seibel, CEO of Justin.tv, issued this statement to CNET News:
"We regret that this has occurred and respect the privacy of the broadcaster and his family during this time. We have policies in place to discourage the distribution of distressing content and our community monitors the site accordingly. This content was flagged by our community, reviewed, and removed according to our Terms of Service."
