Here´s the other article I mentioned. It contains this touching proof of how concerned the parents seemed to be:


--- Quote ---The teenager, who left a suicide note and used the nickname “Living Disaster”, committed suicide after flippantly telling her parents, “I want to kill myself”, when she returned late from a friend’s house.

They dismissed the comment and said “don’t be silly” but an hour later found her suspended an inch from the floor.
--- End quote ---

And they blame the "emo-movement"?

EDIT: Fix´d the link, which I originally posted in too fancy a manner...

I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, I'm sure I've told my parents that I want to kill myself at some point in my life. I know my brother has said he wishes he was dead. But we're both still alive and certainly I would never actually do it. My parents know that, so I doubt they'd sit me down and talk to me about whatever issues had prompted my statement. They'd be more likely to tell me not to be stupid, and then send me to my room to calm down.

On the other hand, if she was serious (and clearly she was, because she did) then there must have been something else going on. No one kills themselves to impress a group of people they've never met, because for one thing even if the people were impressed, they wouldn't be around to reap the benefits. So presumably there was something else going on and maybe they missed the signs.

But over all that is the fact that a teenage girl chose to kill herself. Maybe it isn't emo that's glamourising death but certainly it seems like lots of people feel they have to wish they were dead to be taken seriously. I know people who have tried to commit suicide and tragically, rather than their cry for help (I hate that phrase but it's the only one that fits) being recognised, they were derided for being cliched and attention seeking.

I don't know where I'm going with this. Probably I'm just saying that her parents weren't being neglectful or bad people by not taking a teenager's melodramatic statement seriously. Don't blame them, but for pity's sake don't blame My Chemical Romance either.

Skibas_clavicle:
I am just laughing at how they keep referring to people as "emos".

Sox:
Thaes, your link is broken.

As sad as it is that Hannah Bond killed herself, this article is incredible. It sounds like something you'd find in the Onion, but perhaps something that the Onion might dismiss as too obvious or silly. Simply incredible.

"Teenage girl kills self. Investigators suspect she had become 'emo'"

Barmymoo:
At least the coroner didn't return a verdict of "death through bad taste in music".

Grr. The medias are stupid.
