I would not want to live in Brigend at the moment. My heart goes out to those poor families. |

There must be a link - I had heard of a site sometime ago which told you how to commit suicide and see from this thread that there is. Strange that, as far as I am aware, they all chose hanging as a means to die - would have thought that the obvious one for youngsters would have been pills. I do not know if it is true or not but apparently in the past few days some reporters were actually parked outside a house of bereaved parents. My thoughts and prayers to all of the parents and the parents in this area must be terrified to let their teenagers out of their sight. |

There is apparently a site which gives advice on HOW TO DO IT. |

Ive just been speaking with my 16 year old daughter about all this and she said on one of the social internet sites (like my space) shes been on, there is a link to a site that shows you how to tie a knot in a rope for hanging yourself its beggers belief doesnt it? i was so shocked when she told me this id like all parents/carers to be aware of this. |

the chief police officer in the area was asking yesterday at a press conference for the press to behave more responsibly and not sensationalise these suicides and he layed most of the blame squarely on media for sensationalising. However, his plea has been ignored if today's papers are anything to go by |

the coroner, the police and some of the parents say it isn't a pact, but it sure does sound very strange indeed - I don't know if it has struck anyone else, but all of them were such beautiful looking people!!! |

well thanks gang - I wasn't seeking sympathy for myself though - just trying to put forward the fact that they would have been thinking of nothing but themselves. Had they thought of their families they would not have done it. I only realised after how dreadful it would have been but I was so low at the time it was just me who was on my mind. My OH, son and mother were mortified as were my friends - no one had realised how very depressed I was, I didn't even know myself how depressed I was, I was one of those people who always kept a smile on my face - that's what people with clinical depression do. I was actually working at our local psychiatric hospital at the time and my boss and colleagues were trained psychiatric nurses - they never had a clue! That's how it is unfortunately. No one would probably have realised that these teenagers were contemplating suicide. |
