It seems that they all knew each other, and by one of then commiting suicide, it in turn caused a chain reaction because they all cared about each other deeply. Blaming it on a networking website seems rather juvenial. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MetalGeerGIrl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 8:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[The way AOL markets the article blaming the internet for their deaths is highly misleading. It's tragic that the teens commited suicide, but I highly doubt the internet was to blame for it. It was simply their last cry for help in posting their desperation on their pages. Saying that all the teens used the internet is a clue to why they're dying is like saying the fact they all wore shirts is a clue. These days just about everyone uses such personal webpages. I hope they find the reason for this rash of suicides though.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeanne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 8:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh yes obvious reason is to blame the internet. If a site is popular of course people are going to use it. Doesn't mean its linked to suicide. Come on people wake up. Find out what grades were like, were these people teased did the parents see any warning signs. The net and myspace facebook bebo or any other popular internet blogging site is not to blame]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[J]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 8:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[yeah, i agree...sounds like a serial murderer...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[undrgrndgirl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 8:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am never never never surprised by the extent of people's stupidity. It may sound cold but this world is a hard place and it has a way of weeding out alot of weak dodos who fall prey to all sorts of dumb dangerous stuff. If they were stupid enough to hang themselves when they were young and should be enjoying their youth..well guess it was meant to be...I can understand if they saw the movie ONCE and then went and hung themselves.. the music alone from that movie could make anyone suicidal   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[logicalguy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 8:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[Saying the internet is to blame for these young adult sucides is like saying GUNS KILL PEOPLE...HELLO Amera, people do this to themselves and each other...NOT GUNS...NOT INTERNET]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dorothy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 8:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[These young people had mental problems and it was the motivation behind their killing themselves. Of course they didn't get better, dwelling on the internet about the death of their friend. Almost always, the person who take that direction, has mental problems already.

I came close to suicide when I was 16. Why? I had a tyrant of a father, he never payed attention to me, criticised me constantly and told me over and over again that I would be disinherited.<br>''BECAUSE I WAS NOT LIKE HIM ''<br>Well, I went to America,[am European] got away from him and indeed he disinherited me.<br>'BECAUSE I LEFT".]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[T.A.Herst]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 8:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[THESE FASHIST ATTACKS AGAINST MYSPACE AND THE 1ST AMENDMENT HAVE GOT 2 STOP!!!!every time sum thing happens were sum1 on a worldwide community happens 2 have a page the same conservtive religious zelot fashists that ushered in the anti youth houlocaust 1980's have 2 start calling it a "myspace"this or a myspace that instead of just an unfourtanate happening!!!.,just cause its the site young people(including me im kinda young neway lol)like the most they attack it parents r really afraid of free expression not perverts ther r perverts on facebook in church and walking through your town right now STOP BLAMING MYSPACE!!!!this haz got 2 stop the system must change!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[todd lissner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 8:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[why the hell are people commenting on other people's suicides - another proof of the damage of the internet ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[john stevens]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2008 10:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[WHOOOA!  thats way way too many kids to be some kind of pact- I think the investigators need help here.<br><br>   No way can 17 kids all be so bummed that they actually kill themselves.  I mean, to say your going to do it is one thing, to pretend that your into whatever these kids are doing is one thing.  but you can't get 17 kids to kill themselves like this. <br>There has to be some one they are meeting and end up getting killed by.<br>   This needs a Full investigation. <br>I also aggree that AOL has blown this story with thier missleading title.<br>    Good grief!  help these people, can't some one request full forensics on this case?

It's easier to blame it on an internet site. What was it before the internet?  Oh, the telephone. And before that? People -parents - you MUST make an effort to understand your teens and talk with them without judgment, letting them know that you will always be their safety net, they can come to you with *ANYTHING* and you will still love them. Stop blaming the internet. BTW, I'm an adult parent of two late teens.<br>Parents - pay attention to your children and CARE about where they are, what they're doing.<br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boomkatte]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 11:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[Both sides have accurate facts. Its true that people target the social webpages like Facebook and Myspace when things go wrong, but also it is the internets fault. These kids are going on to these sites and posting suicide notes and no one who can help sees them. If there wasn't such a site, these people would have to vent in a different way, one that could more easily be found by people who can help. Most adults don't have facebook or myspace. How are those who can make a differences going to help if they are unaware of the situation?  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Claire]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2008 8:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Death Toll For Internet Teen Suicides Hits 17]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/11/string-of-welsh-teen-suicides-continues/</guid><description><![CDATA[Something is really wrong here.
