No, people have always been stupid.
Its just now adays we have the mass media, and the people in mass media realize these kind of stories attract attention, so the very few and in between cases like this are the ones everyone picks up on.
This was years ago.
I don't really think it's a sign of the country going wrong, just a sign that kids are massive idiots.
At least pick a quality show to kill yourself over. :roll2
I wonder if people have committed suicide because they didn't get into Idols...
All the more reason to dislike 'Reality' (pfft lolreality) TV.
Natural Selection?
didn't happenQuote:
Daily Mail
Lawl.
I'd be pretty impressed if an 11 year old girl knew how to tie a noose

Learning knots another form of natural selection?
Thank god this isn't in EoEO. :D
Reasons for suicide take various forms. The fact that we can lulz over this probably indicates a few of us believe there are different levels of suicide; at different levels, we won't lulz. I base this on the following reasoning:
- you're lulzing
- we didn't lulz over other suicides
- asl?
I wonder why some suicides are more justified for lulzing than others?
It's the reason for a suicide. It can be depression, insanity or any other of things that we just find sad.
Suicide because of stupidity, however. Even if it were true, if you were to grow sad and feel sympathy over such a thing, you would spur on those other stupid people that want the same sympathy. In short, in my eyes, validating such an awful reason to commit suicide would merely result in even more of them.
I really think there was more to it than "Oh God I'm going to miss Big Brother" :\
I mean, she could have just watched reruns, guys xD
Did she know Mitchell Henderson?

She should of hung around, she'd get to watch it later.
She sure showed them!
To me, events like these are good things.
So this is legit?
If so, there's WAY more to it than not being able to watch her favorite show. Obviously there was something much worse under the surface going on.
And despite all the Big Brother bashing, I'll admit that the US version is one of my favorite shows and I even auditioned for the previous season and made it to round three auditions. But they chose a more interesting gay character (a gay rodeo champion). Hmph.
Suicide over stupid shows aside, 2006 was a pretty good year.
Anyone shallow enough to watche that show deserves to die anyway.
At least she took care of herself before she was able to breed. She should be touted as a hero of Darwinism.
This is very old news that has surely been sensationalised enough by now without dragging it up again for a thread.
it's not been sensationalized enough because i hadn't heard it before!
Personally, I don't think she meant to actually kill herself. It's already been clarified that it was a totally stupid reason to hang herself. Perhaps she meant to give her folks a scare?
Maaaaybe it was her first PMS. Crazy bish just couldn't handle it.
:p
Thats when a lot of preteens go emo. They reach puberty and a lot of hormones are pumping and they don't know what to do. She probably didn't mean to do it; she was probablly standing on her tippy-toes and slipped. She probably was just trying to scare her mom. It's still stupid, but I'm just saying.
And wtf is Big Brother anyways?
It's some stupid show. Wiki it.
Since lulzing is okay, a realization:
Hanging yourself is one of the worst ways to kill yourself. I never recommend it (that is a story in itself). Because breathing is the most fundamentally vital part of keeping you alive, losing it sets your body into survival mode, and no amount of 'omg my life is terrible because I can't watch BB' will override that.
Basically I'm hinting that the last moments of this girl's life were terrible and she likely very much changed her mind but could not.
I dunno, I just can't lulz over a hanging. I fail at /b/
