Readers Response #3
The other night I pulled about a magazine from 2006, and began to read an article entitled "Website Helped Girl Commit Suicide" I instantly started reading for this topic interested me. While her friends at home thought everything okay Susie was secretly posting on a suicide website. She would post things about how she was planning on killing herself and why. People on the website were incouraging it! no one tried to stop her. Her final post was "goodnight everyone, see you on the other side" and some of the comments said stuff like "I'm glad you finally did it! good for you!" Do they not realize what happend to her family and the area around where she lived? She was a person, not something that could just come back. It shocks me that no one tried to stop her. no one. I can understand that she probably liked that someone was agreeing with her and encouraging her, but I just don't understand why at least one person wouldn't say "No! Stop! This is your life! You have a boyfriend that loves you! you have friends that love you! YOU HAVE FAMILY THAT LOVES YOU!" That is what I would tell her. But no one did. I've been trying to find this kind of website to see how many people actually post on it daily how how many people don't help. If theres any way I could do a project on it for this class then that would be amazing!
