im not sure how many people have read about it or heard it. But teengurl wrote a post the other day, telling of how she was going to kill herself. Despite all that tryed to stop her, me being one of them, she did. She commited suicide. I was very close, VERY close to crying when i read the last journal entry of hers. For those that dont know, she emailed her friend before she died, giving her all of her DS log in information and told her to tell everyone what happend. She also told this friend to write a journal entry for her. and she did. I think its a great thing what her friend [Kimber as the journal entry refers to] did for her. I feel horrible about this. I really do. And while she said even though they tried, no one really helped here on DS, i think we should try and do something so that this doesnt happen again. I didnt even talk to her much. and im mourning for this poor girl. She was only 14. Thats such a horrible way to die. I think if some people that are thinking about suicide were to read her last 2 journal entries, they might reconsider. I know of two friends that i asked to read about it, and both changed their minds on either harming themselves or changed the way they thought about suicide. I dont really know what else to say. I just hope, this can bring us at DS closer together in high hopes that this doesnt happen again =/ and it may sound like im blaming someone, im sorry. im really not. I just feel really bad that this happend, despite all anyone tried to do to talk her out of it. I dont know what we can do to keep it from happening again, but i think we should do something.

is there anything we can do to stop this from happening again?

it is sad, but there really isnt anything we can do. i mean ppl kill themselves all the time and no one hears about it. I know it sounds sensless but in a way we just have to let them die because most of the time we cant do anything about it. if we can that's great but u know...

i think that maybe we all could of saved her. maybe she was telling us that someone could stop her. the prob with the young ones is they think cos they think about dying they have to go through with it. i wish we could save them all. she was the same age as my younger bro and i cant imagine him going through what we all do. its scary.

Does anyone know for SURE that teengirl committed suicide? Is it possible this was a bid for attention? I know a bid for attention this way (just writing about suicide, not actually doing it) is silly because if you are supposed to be dead you cannot keep coning here to get the attention you want... but is it possible she didn't really die? Just wondering.
