    No kidding!

    Anyway, the article is about how people who have short attention spans statistically have smaller penises. Like crazy small.

    Every one get picked on when they are 13. Not everyone commits suicide. Those parents are terrible, but thats how the world is.

    ^Great way to rush to judgment on parenting. The teen had a history of depression and her parents took her to therapy. A depressed kid would still have suicidal thoughts despite having saintly parents.

    I think he's referring to the parents who sent the messages.

    Sad story, but that girl had no one to blame but herself. Don't kill yourself, period. Suicide for any reason is weak. Suicide because of things people say to you is weaker. Suicide because of postings on the Internet is pathetic.

    She had a history of depression and ADHD. She was seeing a therapist and on medication. I dont know if you've ever had to deal with someone who has clinical depression, but its not something you just "get over." So until you know what serious depression is like, don't judge.

    Most of us are privileged in that we've never had to go through something like serious depression.

    I was refering to the parents that made the fake page. They should get sued. You figure they are older than 15.

    I take it you don't believe depression is a serious condition?

    Sure depression is a serious condition, but there are millions of people that are severely clinically depressed and do not take the coward's way out. Sometimes you have to live with the depression. If everyone suffering from clinical depression committed suicide 1) the entire psychotherapy industry would go belly up, and 2) there would be a dramatic drop in population.

    The fact that depression exists and is serious is not enough for me to blame people that were playing a mean spirited prank on a girl for her death, any more than it is reason enough for me to excuse what Andrea Yates did. Sure those other parents are assholes, have the morals of snakes and the intelligence of your average 3rd grader, but they are not responsible for Megan's death. Nor are Megan's parents, who seemed to be doing a fine job, and are much more protective than I would be. Megan took her own life, of her own free will. I feel sorry for her parents that she did that to them.
    I had a friend from school whose mom committed suicide. I also have dealt with depression with a couple people in my family. Just because I don't agree with your position doesn't mean I have an inadequate base of knowledge to form my own opinions.
