More suicides in Welsh town
‘Young cousins’ latest Bridgend suicides
The Welsh town of Brigend has been experiencing a rash of suicides by young people in recent weeks. Two more of its young citizens have taken their life. This time a 15-year-old boy and in a separate incident his 20-year-old female cousin.
Some media in the U.K. have tried to connect the social web site Bebo as a contributing factor in these suicides. To me that idea is a ridiculous. Bebo is no more than a communication tool be tween teens and young 20-somethings in the U.K. That would be like contributing their suicides to cell phone usage.

This is very sad indeed. Help and support are available for people feeling down, depressed or suicidal. For example, Samaritans, Papyrus who work to prevent young suicide and the Community Advice & Listening Line, based in Wales, are a mental health helpline.
More resources can be found on the Stamp Out Suicide! website.

If there is a problem that we are unsure about, that results in the death of people, and if there is a solution that can make us better,can we please start to find it. It can’t be hard. We were all born before, it was pretty tricky but we can all be born again. Pretty tricky.

Just read what I’d put and realised that it sounded pragmatic. Not so much born again but but a decent realisation that you have no clue about the corner you are about to take. Could be good could be bad but who knows? Are you curious enough to know? You must be because you are reading this! Nosy person!!!!

Well I don’t know about the whores , but bebo is full of kids . A little girl in my 6 year old son’s class has a bebo page , which I think is ridiculous !!
