Reading that article was so surreal. Just them causally talking about suicide. And gosh, 18 years old? Your life has just begun really. I guess them being young had something to do with it.
I've never been depressed, let alone suicidally depressed. So maybe I'm not the best to comment on this thread, but I've had a mate recently who killed himself without any reasons given at all. None at all. And If I heard someone helped him to do it. I'll probably be more overwhelmed with grief.
I also had a girl in my class kill herself after her boyfriend dumped her. Such a unneeded loss of life...
In my view (again, never experienced depression, so just bare that in mind). You need a pretty damn good reason to kill yourself, otherwise it's you just giving up. The cowards way out. And I think the young people who do it haven't lived long enough to really say "yeah life isn't for me". Obviously there are some obvious expectations. Like dying from a terminal illness. But even then surely you'll want to live as long as possible to see as much as possible before the end?
I dunno. it's a touchy subject. The only thing that girl should be charged for is lying to the police. And of course answer a f ton of questions.
