Youth Suicide Pact
As a follow up to my topic on cyber bullying, a rumour is spreading around Adelaide mental health circles that a group of Adelaide youths have made a suicide pact and so far 6 teenages have committed suicide.
Kept hush, hush apparently there are fears a group of eastern suburbs youths have rallied together and made an oath to kill themselves. An anonumous source said that a number of mental professionals know of this secret pact and are now investigating the rumours. If true, one has to ask ones self, why would a number of youths give such a pact and what frame of mind were the six deceased pact members in when they made that fatal decision.
Bullying, in all it’s forms can be fatal. Bullies pushing their victims so severely, the victim feels that suicide is the only exit from all the shame and hurt the bully has directed at them. But, when society bullies our youth to the point were they decide in numbers to end their lives, well thats something else altogether.
I do not know if the rumour I was told is 100% fact. It came from someone who new someone who new the quack who was working on the case of one of these youths. So decide for yourself if this sort of thing could happen.
I will however keep an eye on this story and if i find anymore evidence to prove either way I will let you know.
