Suicide @ Facebook

Yes.






Facebook. Today i am going to talk about Facebook.

The emergence of Facebook by a brilliant Harvard student, Mark-z, has actually revolutionize the way people connecting with each other around the globe. Same like friendster, only much better.

Even my mum and dad also learnt how to log into FB nowadays. Every now and then, they used to "like" my status in Facebook, be it i have a new girlfriend, working my arse off, or even when i post "I am poo-poo ing in toilet now with my iphone-2 minutes ago."

But then again, recently something happened and i don't quite catch it.

Suicide note in Facebook??

If you have read the newspaper couple of months ago, you can actually notice a certain "trend" whereby people who "planned" to commit suicide would actually post their feelings while counting down to the time to jump off a building or something like that.

I don't understand, really.

Everytime i bring out this issue, the last sentence i am going to utter would be "what on earth these kiddos are thinking?"




It is not something to be proud of. Unless they still can follow up their Facebook status when they are in heaven. But it did not cross my mind that any of the bibles contain this line:

"Thou shall facebook-ing now, to connect with your the loved one on earth".

The only reason i can think of is, when these bunch of kiddos face with their problems, they tend to hide their feelings away, yet in a strange way, they want people to notice it.

So, log on the face book, post the comments, wait, go to the balcony, jump off.

RIDICULOUS RIGHT???

But does it means social networking tools now has become the reason for people to commit suicide? (Admit it, when you see the news, automatically you will think of "Nah, Facebook kills people again").

But why not friendster? Why i never heard of people who read wikipedia.org got so tensed up and then jump off a cliff or something like that?


For me, the nearest death encounter that i have ever posted in the facebook is only this.

Accidentally cut myself. (By a mailbox)

So, kids, hereby, i, wong hung yew, may not be old enough for you guys to call uncle just yet. But i do hope you remember that, before you have that stupid idea of jumping off a building, remember those people around who loves you.

Please do not post stupid things on the facebook and end your life right after that.

Because, as i have said, there are no facebook.com.hv (Heaven) ever existed as far as i would have known of.

And believe me, i won't be the one who is going to put those "rest in peace" if you are gone.

I will be more than happy to "like" this...

And call you a MORON.

A split seconds of rational thinking may change your life. Jumping off the building does kill you off instantly. But to your loved one, it remains a pain forever they live.

(This post does not intend to put off any suiciders or their families and loved one in the past, it is for the purpose of educating the younger generation on how to live their lifes better in the future)
