People think life is just an interactive game, and then they find out too late that stupid has consequences.

That poor boy’s family. I hope at least the idiots egging him on, learned something, but somehow I doubt it. They probably think it was ‘way cool’ to have that kind of power.

I can’t help but wonder what’s worse… the fact that this tormented child took his own life or that other’s don’t see the value of a life.

Thank you for the link Jane, these sad events put so many other things into perspective.

That’s horrible. And reading the reactions from many of the members of bodybuilding.com (the ones egging him on) is just sickening. The internet makes it easy for people to push aside responsibility for what they say, as if what’s said here has nothing to do with real life. How very wrong they are. For someone who is in a such a messed up state of mind that they’re suicidal, one comment can make a difference. I hope this makes people think about the one comment they make.

I just watched the movie, Untraceable last weekend, this real tragedy has disturbing similarities to that movie. I wish he’d been able to get help.

That has to be one of the saddest stories I’ve read.

I’m going to watch the Shiba Inu puppy cam now.
