Where are these young kids getting these ideas to commit suicide?

In this case, after a video of a fight? Why would that cause someone so young to kill themselves?

Something is going terribly wrong in our society.

A mother and father in Colorado say their 10-year-old daughter committed suicide over video of a fight with an alleged bully.

KDVR reports that the girl, Ashawnty Davis, was only in fifth grade.

I don't think that social media is helping in cases of bullying. Not only did the girl get bullied. When she confronted her bully, the resulting fight was captured on camera and then shared. I doubt she felt proud about the fight so having that spread around amongst her peers could make someone so young feel like they've lost control over their life. It added stress on top of an already too stressful situation.

I feel for the girl's family. How awful to lose your child to suicide. Sad.
