DARDENNE PRAIRIE, Mo. (AP) - Megan Meier thought she had made a new friend in cyberspace when a cute teenage boy named Josh contacted her on MySpace and began exchanging messages with her. Megan, a 13-year-old who suffered from depression and attention deficit disorder, corresponded with Josh for more than a month before he abruptly ended their friendship, telling her he had heard she was cruel.

The next day Megan committed suicide. Her family learned later that Josh never actually existed; he was created by members of a neighborhood family that included a former friend of Megan's.

This is pretty horrible. Stupid parents...I'd give them a lot of prison time for this.

One less dipshit in the herd.

Seriously, what the fuck do you have to be depressed about when you're 13 years old? Toys R Us is out of the latest My Little Pony toy?

Dumbest comment of the day award? She was 13 with mental disorders... wow

[jonathan83]

the thing is, she had a history of mental depression and the family knew that and took advantage of it. that's pretty low...

Exactly how do you have a mental disorder when you're 13 years old?

Will, are you actually being serious here?

Same way you have one when you're 23?

[Oasis]

Will, are you actually being serious here?

Yes I'm being completely fucking serious

When I was 13 all I cared about was collecting baseball cards and catching frogs in the pond near my house.

I sadly know a bunch of 17-20 year olds who grew up in this day and age and were still innocent enough at thirteen. None of them ever had problems with depression.

I'm all ears

So, because you and your friends were "normal" then that just means that absolutely no child/teenager could have mental problems...?

The fuck if I was normal. I ate pill bugs as a kid. I am far from it

Many people have mental problems. I just write off 99.84% of the people who say they have mental problems cause the're weakminded twits.

apparently she was fucked up enough to not have a problem offing herself....if that isnt a kid with legitimate mental/emotional disorder i dont know what is.

[FORSAKENR320]

I THINK I'M JUST HEARTLESS ENOUGH TO THINK THE WORLD IS MUCH BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER.


mostly because hopefully it means those wackjob parents don't breed


i do not deny she has mental problems. but face it, does the world really need one more mooching unbalanced retard?

[Testm0nkey]

i wonder what the total number of suicides because of myspace are now?
i know of 3 that happened in the past + this one

[Epic]

yeah, its sad, but i don't know where it says she has dire mental disorders. it said she was on medication, but really not what she had. call me a dick, but in my opinion, most of the "depressed" people really aren't depressed. They just throw that word aroudn to anyone who struggles with life not being perfect. and ADD? learning disorder maybe, but I distinguish between learning disorders and mental problems, but i'm sure some of you will argue with me.

yeah, its fucked up, but her mom new she was on myspace as she was aware of her feelings.

still sad, but i still think that people that kill themselves bear the responsibility of their actions.

[Dogmeat]

but what about the adults that were bullying her? dont they bear the responsibility since they are adults and should know the effects of bullying on a depressed preteen? where the heck were they living that adult neighbors would create a fake myspace account to seduce and tease a kid? thats pretty gross
yes the adults should have definitely stepped in earlier. i would have pulled the plug on her myspace adventures the second i saw my daughter posting "vulgar" messages
but if it werent for those ADULTS that kid wouldnt have killed herself

[RitalinJunkie]

but if it werent for those ADULTS that kid wouldnt have killed herself

well...maybe at least. At least it would give her more time to go to a shrink or something and get help other than meds, cause apparently the meds didn't help much.

It is sad, i do think that some sort of prison sentance should come to the adults who were antagonizing her, because that was the final straw that led her to kill herself, at the same time i wonder what her family life was like where she apparently wasnt getting the right kind of help for her problems.

[Epic]

no, i don't feel that they pushed her to suicide, she made that choice on her own.

suicide is a coward's way out, its giving up, and although sad, this girl made the choice to kill herself. yeah they're fucked up for messing with a kid, but we just assume that because they are older that they are more mature. and they will be punished to some degree, just as all bullies are punished, but from what i have available in the story, they didn't do anything that i feel would have driven a 13 year old to suicide.

maybe we should also punish her parents for drugging her up at an early age and telling her that its not her fault she's fucked up and that the only way she can change or get better is by pumping herself full of meds.

and while we're at it, every time someone leaves a suicide note blaming someone else for their suicide, we should probably prosecute them too.

[Testm0nkey]

we already treat adolescents differently according to the law. we dont blame them for doing adult crimes because they are still maturing and dont fully appreciate their actions and the ramifications their actions may have.
but in the case of suicide they fully know what they are doing and its all their fault?
or do you also not believe there should be different prison/incarceration sentences for say 12 year olds who commit crimes?

[Oasis]

Blue FTW

[THECHICKEN]

13yr olds with mental disabilities should obviously be held to the same standard of thinking as adults... duh.

How dare a child have medically recognized depression and be hit hard by tormenting adults, and not be able to handle it at age 13... what a stupid bitch in my opinion.

I mean i had a cousin who, as a child, couldn't watch movies where people died because she couldn't grasp that the people were just "acting." How dare she not understand things as a child that we as adults do!

[Epic]

yeah, you guys are right, it wasn't her fault that she killed herself. i'm sure that she lost all free will and was destined to hang herself in her closet.

and i still don't by that she was really depressed or had true mental disabilities.

and who am i suggesting we send to prison? obviously not her, she's dead. In fact, i never even suggested that we treat kids and adults the same. But I bet sending these parents to prison will make THEIR kids much more well adjusted and less likely to become disenfranchised with reality and suffer from depression (oh i'm sorry mental DISEASE)

and you're fucking right i hold people responsible for their suicides. Their actions affect everyone close to them, causing more pain, more suffering, all because "someone sent her mean messages."

KIDS GET CALLED FAT, UGLY, STUPID, GAY, RETARDED, AND VARIOUS OTHER THINGS ALL THE TIME.

But then again, i'm just jaded to suicide, sue me.

[Testm0nkey]

she was a vulnerable 13 year old and there were adults that were bullying and pressuring her. but you are right she should have had more sense than some soccer mom?

you cant read the article and say oh sure she didnt have any actual problems or depression. you have more sense then the doctor that prescribed her the medication or the parents that lived with her?

what exactly are you an expert of?

[Epic]

that's exactly what i'm saying Test. Everyone is making big assumptions about what was wrong with the girl from very little details. we all know tons of people who are medicated. I know a lot of people who feel that they were improperly medicated as a kid. I'm not saying i'm an expert, but doctors are giving drugs to kids for all kinds of reasons. I just don't see in that article where she was so weak and vulnerable.

You can say that i'm making the assumptions by saying that i don't know what was really wrong with her and i'll say that you are making assumptions about what she was being medicated for. if she was on ritalin, she was being medicated. then suddenly its "medicated teen commits suicide"

and yes, this stems from my personal feelings that people who commit suicide disgust me.

[GOB]

i don't see why it matters that she was being manipulated by an adult. she didn't know she was talking to an adult, so what would it matter if the myspace friend was 13 or 50? there are 13 year olds who could probably get some depressed loser (teen or adult) to kill themselves.


i hope her parents feel responsible for this. they let their retard child talk to strangers on the internet. no different than letting diabetic kids loose in a candy store.

[Testm0nkey]

because an adult should not be preying on kids on the internet
certainly it matters

online predators are a-okay because the kids that are raped are just gullible idiots and its their fault?

its shocking that a 13 year old taking her life because of a bully earns her the right to be called a "depressed loser". please dont have kids

[Epic]

haha, the moment that i let you be the judge of my character is the day that I kill myself.

the fact that they did it matters, yes, but what they did could have been committed maliciously by anyone, teenage or adult (i guarantee i could have convinced an already suicidal person to kill themselves over the internet when i was 13). she didn't know the difference, would have killed herself either way. if somebody was harrassing my kid, whether 13 or 35, i would expect them to be held equally accountable. are you surprised that an american adult would do this?

this girl wasn't raped or killed, she committed suicide. don't even try to put harrassment on the same level as murder and rape. the only thing shocking here is that her own parents felt it was just dandy to let their mentally retarded kid meet strangers online.

thanks, though, for the tip about having kids, hillary.

this isn't sad

this is just plain stupid


a girl committing suicide over a fake internet boyfriend?

holy fucking christ destroy the world now plzkthx


you guys are really jumping the gun here

how do you know she didn't have problems at home? how do you know she wasn't being molested by her father?...someone playing an internet prank wasnt reason enough for someone to kill themself...and if it was...GOOD RIDDANCE...that just means she was that weak minded that she would've killed herself if wal-mart ran out of her favorite bubblegum...

depression is the emotion here, but what if it was anger? someone unstable like this could just as easily decided to say "DAMN! I VILL KEEL EVERYONE IN ZEE WORLD!"

This is in response to Will's initial post about 13 year olds not having anything to be depressed about. I was 13 when I first knew that I was depressed but didn't get any help for it. My best friend had just passed away from Leukemia and my parents were going through a divorce. My grandmother would tell my brother and I that we were mistakes, bastard children, etc. almost on a weekly basis. So yes, that may be my story, and I know that everyone has different ones, but not every 13 year old was concerned with picking up frogs or baseball cards. My depression lasted about 7 years, when I finally got help and medication. My parents never knew that I was depressed until I called them one night from Lubbock crying.

[FORSAKENR320]

you know what's a big concern for 13 yr olds?




rape

[Dogmeat]

i tried getting a 13 year old girl to kill herself over the internet once

I was 15 at the time hahaha.

it was funny, like 7 years later she IM'd me after I hadn't talked to her for like 7 years and she was trying to tell me to go to www.camwhores.com and buy her camshow hahahahaha

that means she turned out to be hot....... no regrets?

[Dogmeat]

fuck no she was this innocent little 13 year old at one point when I tried to get her to die, then like 7 years later or whatever it was she turned into a muffin top wigger x infinity .....

I told her to fly out here and suck my penis or I'd never talk to her again because she was a whore.

I never spoke to her again.

haha

imagine that

[pysex]

i had a friend kill himself my senior year of high school

hung himself in his front yard right down the street from me

the lifeflight helicopter landing practically in our front yard woke me up and i walked out to see a lot of people from my hs there

he had reason to kill himself....bible thumpin family, straightlaced lifestyle, sheltered at home, and girlfriend practically ruined his life, very reserved socially because his family was protective


people don't just commit suicide because their internet boyfriend turned out to be a 60 year old grandmother with sag bags...there had to be more to the story and blaming it on the internet or "meeting strangers" is complete and total bullshit cocksmear mouthspew

[FORSAKENR320]

YOU'RE a cocksmear mouth spew

[Hartmann]

My question is, why the hell was a 13 year old on MySpace?!

Secondly, why was a mom on MySpace?!


Shut MySpace down and you'll solve the starvation problem in Africa and create world peace.
