There are people in London who spend their Christmas Eves running around barefoot Clapham High Street from gay bar to gay bar clothed as a bottle of mustard. Just to put this in perspective. > Do you really think that is OK Yeah. In fact, I wouldn't only say "OK" but "highly usual" to see such a report. Why? Because 1) at least one thirteen year old killed themselves 2) telegraph, being the rag they are, obviously picked it up and made it into a tearful story, or maybe even made it up (which wouldn't be beyond their reach). Someone didn't seek help and therefore killed themselves. Who cares? Are you next going to grief us about the fact that someone drove too fast and killed themselves? That someone ate a razor and killed themselves? That someone touched a live electrical wire and killed themselves? Rest assured more people die and become crippled in traffic accidents than in effect of bullying, yet metropolitan areas in the US do not even have an investigative unit responsible for ascertaining the identity of a hit and run car driver unless the person dies. Crippled for life? Yup, fine with us, just go home. Dead? We might investigate. There's one guy in our metro area handling those. For millions of drivers. When predicting things, sometimes you feel like there's an itch and you follow up on it and it turns out you notice a pattern which lets you reason about the nature of the world as a whole. Here's the tip: if there were a trend with people being bullied killing themselves, I might be able to agree. If it were additionally undoubtedly correlated, in that bullying meant a rise in suicide rates across people with all sorts of psychological backgrounds, and the raise is well above what happens under other conditions when mental illnesses are accounted for, i might even be compelled to agree. But posting a story of one person, out of millions in Los Angeles alone, is nothing. It's not an indicator, it's not even an itch on a fly's butt. But to answer your question: > Here's an example of a 13 year old girl who commited suicide after being bullied online. Do you really think that is OK True answer? I don't give a shit, and I'm not going to start walking like on broken glass, turning my whole world upside down, and assuming inane and unnatural behaviours because of someone else's unique and unusual deficiency. Get real.
