"The true scale of a suicide epidemic among young people in a small town was revealed yesterday.
As well as the seven deaths linked to social networking websites, a coroner revealed that a further six had also died within a year.
The astonishing rate of hangings in Bridgend, South Wales, has terrified parents in the area and one secondary school has been placed on 'suicide watch' after pupils appealed for help.
Of the seven "internet" suicides which culminated in the death last week of 17-year-old Natasha Randall, each victim was known by at least one of the others.
Although the six other deaths revealed by coroner Philip Walters are believed to be isolated incidents, he said they show that the problem is even more widespread than originally feared."
Incidents with identical ways and means are HARDLY isolated. Good grief but can these people be that ignorant? They've instilled no pride, no sense of honor, no reason to live in these young people and wonder why their children take the cowards way out at the first sign of trouble?
Maybe I should change the headline to The Curious Case Of The Clueless Bridgenders
