    The problem with the internet is that you can't tell someone's emotions other than by what they say. It works both ways. You can hurt someone without meaning to, and also people can pretend to be hurt just to get a laugh out of you.

    You can assume everyone is happy, balanced, exactly like you, and then blame them for taking something you say so badly that they end their life. Or you could just not say things that make people want to kill themselves.

    I'm torn between two trains (awesome, I love trains) of thought here. On one hand I know that this is a last resort for some people seeking help and on the other hand "boohoo someone was mean to me on the Internet and now I'm going to kill myself" smh.

    My brother and I have a good laugh when we see those stories on the news about people who've killed themselves over internet bullying.

    Anyways I appreciate you putting up this post. Perhaps you may have saved a life, just like that one song by the Fray. I hope though that there isn't any bullying going on in this site.

    For the people who have: DO NOT CARE about wbat others on here think, well dont let it get to you. Nobody is perfect, and trust me NOBODY is better than you. We are all human beings! We are equal.

    I have read comments inhere that have made me depressed, but I don't think that I ever once considered committing suicide over them. For my suicidal contemplations, I had other reasons and visualized many different methods, but thankfully I didn't use them.

    They don't know me so why should i care.

    No. It is very sad that some people suicide because of strangers over the net. Children should be educated on that.
