» SUICIDE BID

-

Ashley Ting: From what I read in other news articles, the guy had been texting the girl, telling of his intention to commit suicide. She initially talked him out of it but as the guy persisted with all the negative suicidal thoughts, she followed along. I don’t think that she should be accused of encouragin­g him when he himself had the intention to kill himself. She is definitely wrong in playing along with it. Why didnt the boy’s parents do something to help their son anyway? Surely they would have detected a change in their son’s personalit­y.

Lily Ieda Abd Rahim: I thought the girl had constantly told him via text to go and kill himself and that he was useless to the world. Her words encouraged him to kill himself and it became worse when she did nothing, not even alerting the parents or the authoritie­s that the boy was having sucidal thoughts and even after the incident, she didn’t tell anyone. Psycho much?

Maria Misha: The guy was hesitating about killing himself, but instead of stopping him from doing so, she encouraged and taunted him, calling him a coward if he decided against it.
