Ah, well. I'll be damned. I'm not even saying don't kill yourself, but for Facebook? What happened to Twitter? If she had killed herself because her parents banned her from using a website like Twitter, I believe I may have been able to empathize.

Now, I just shake my head in disgust. What is so special about being "poked" and receiving scam messages in your inbox that would make you want to kill yourself?

Am I saying Facebook is filth? Yes. This is a public message to all teenagers out there: If you must kill yourself, go with a bang - use special effects, if you must. Don't die over Facebook for God's sake.

I am not asking anyone to die, though, but if you really have to, don't let it be because of Facebook for God's sake!
