For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: teenage suicide.
A South Florida college student killed himself by overdosing on drugs in front of a live online audience as some computer users egged him on, some debated his method, and others tried to talk him out of it.
When I read this yesterday, I cried for about ten minutes. Maybe it's because I have a son that age. However, I'm wondering how this story has impacted others, and if this is emblematic of the problems in our society today. Or, is this just a teenage suicide with an Internet twist thereby making it both shocking and novel but nothing more?
