Real-life harassment is a real bit(h, especially in high school. However, if someone wants to kill themselves over what they read in a forum, well, they have some serious problems.
If you've ever been on that side of the fence...you'd know. Words can often be more powerful than actions. Highschool has to be the most damaging part of a young person's life...if you're not "cool." Soemtimes it only takes one little thing to push someone over the edge, especially if they're on the virge of the unthinkable. I admit to ripping into people, I also admit to being the target of all kinds of abuse...and I didn't have it as bad as some. Words are powerful, so id depression....it's easy to say the person who kills themselves has problems. To that person it may seem to be the only way out. And it's usually the "normal" or "stable" kids who end up as statistics.
